Michelle And Jim Bob Duggar Officially Welcome 20th Child Into Their Family


Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar might not be able to have more children, but it turns out that they have added a 20th child to their family. In Touch Weekly has shared that the Duggar family now have custody of another child. They originally had temporary custody of the boy, but it has now become a permanent thing.

The new child to the Duggar family is Michelle and Jim Bob’s great nephew. Their mother was unable to take care of him, so he has now joined the family. As of right now, the Duggars are staying quiet about what is going on with him. His mother is Michelle’s niece, Rachel Hutchins, and she reportedly suffered scandals financial setbacks and had problems with the law. At the time, the Duggars were given guardianship of him. At this time, the name of the child has not been released.

A source shared that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar couldn’t be happier right now. It sounds like they are really enjoying having the 8-year-old boy in their home. The source went on to say, “Jim Bob and Michelle have made the child feel right at home. They treat him like their own and he looks up to them as parents.” The source went on to say that the Duggar children have made him feel welcome at their house, too. This makes it twenty kids for the Duggars, but they have four of them not living at home already and married living on their own. The amount of grandchildren for Jim Bob and Michelle just keeps growing.

There have been some rumors that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar might be getting a divorce, but this couple seems happier than ever right now. Heavy shared a bit about the rumors flying that the Duggars wouldn’t be staying married. The rumors have been that Josh Duggar and his scandals are the cause plus some money issues. Jim Bob and Michelle actually shut down this rumor, though. They went to the family Facebook page and shared a picture of them kissing along with the headline saying they are getting a divorce. Along with it, the couple posted the caption, “Don’t believe everything you read in the tabloids! Michelle and I have been married for over 32 years and are more in love than ever!” Right now, it looks like the Duggars are doing just fine. You wouldn’t think that they would add another child to a family that was about to split.

It wouldn’t be shocking at all if news came out that either of these couples had added more children to their family as well in the future.
