Jill Duggar Makes Big Announcement As She Says, ‘We Are Moving!’ Does This Mean That ’19 Kids And Counting’ Will Be Scrapped?


Fans of 19 Kids and Counting have been waiting to hear some news about the fate of the show. Jill Duggar Dillard may have just let out a hint of the future of the TLC reality series. She just made a huge announcement on Twitter, leaving everyone to suspect that the Duggar family will not be back on TLC. The new mom announced that the Dillard’s are moving out of Arkansas.

According to their new website called The Dillards, Jill and Derick are taking on a new job that will lead them, and baby Israel, to a different country. They have started a new ministry, and it sounds like they will be heading back to Nepal where their heart is. This is the place where they officially started courting. It sounds like Jill is quite excited about this new adventure.

It sounds like they have been planning this for a while now, but thought that it would take years to get it all worked out. However, an opportunity presented itself sooner than they had anticipated. They said that they will be leaving sometime in July. This is huge news for this couple. Derick Dillard had this to say as he wrote the details on their website.

“Several months ago a new opportunity arose for us to serve God on the mission field. Before us we had a choice to make that would undoubtedly change the trajectory of our lives forever.”

This move will definitely change Jill’s life way more than her husband’s. She is so used to being around her huge family while also getting whatever help that she needs from them since they all live so close together. She is extremely close with her sisters, so it will be even more difficult than when she left home to get married. This will be quite a transition for this family.

What does this mean for the fate of 19 Kids and Counting? Many fans have been hoping that the reality show would make its way back on TLC. However, this major move for Jill Duggar, who is a big part of the show, may just be the nail in the coffin. On the other hand, it could mean that the TLC network is planning on following this couple on their new adventure. Viewers will just have to wait and see what happens.

The Inquisitr had previously reported that a sneak peek clip during last season’s finale of the reality show may actually be this announcement to the family. Jim Bob Duggar looked quite upset with something that Jill and Derick had to say. It supposedly had something to do with them telling the family that they were leaving to go overseas. Jim Bob looked quite concerned about the whole thing in the preview.

Of course, fans may not get to see what develops in the next season as the show may not be back on air. This move also means that Jill may miss the birth of her sister’s baby in November. Jessa Seewald is expecting her little one in the fall, so who knows if the Dillards will be able to make it back for that special event. However, they may still be around when Anna Duggar gives birth to her and Josh’s baby girl anytime now.

One thing is for sure, Jill Duggar is a strong person and her marriage to Derick Dillard is strong as well. They just celebrated their first wedding anniversary. They also shared a few special photos that were adorable and showed just how in love they really are.

They have a way to donate to their new ministry on their website. Jill is also planning on keeping everyone up to date on how things are going with their family.

What are your thoughts on Jill Duggar and her family moving long-term to another country?
