Counting On star Joy-Anna Forsyth and Bringing Up Bates star Carlin Bates are back together again. These ladies grew up together and are now both moms to two kids each. They’ve stayed friends since they were young. There is some geographical distance between the two of them, but they make time to see each other whenever possible.

Carlin recently gave birth to her second child, Zade Patrick. So, maybe that’s why Joy-Anna is in town. Carlin also has a two-year-old daughter, Layla Rae.

Joy-Anna Forsyth’s kids are Gideon Martyn, who’s four years old, and Evelyn Mae, who will turn two this summer.

Joy-Anna lives in Arkansas with the rest of the Duggar family. Carlin and most of the Bates family live in Tennessee.

Thanks to social media, fans have gotten to see the two young women reunite a few different times over the years. Carlin was there for Joy-Anna when she tragically lost her baby at 20 weeks gestation. During one of their recent visits together, the women got their hair done.
