Michelle Duggar is related to Tyler because her niece, Rachel is his mom. Rachel ran into trouble with the law and other issues, and initially, her son lived with Michelle’s sister, Carolyn until she suffered a stroke.

James Duggar is older than Tyler, but they share a love for outdoor fun and that’s one thing that can be said for the compound in Arkansas. There’s plenty of space for young men to have fun. Last year, a court case decided that Tyler’s grandparents were fit to care for the boy. So, he went back home. But, he’s still very much a part of the TLC family, as James called him “bro.”

Looks like the Duggars still get to hang out with Tyler…
I hope he’s well cared for with his grandparents and I’m glad he still gets to have a relationship with his cousins he lived with for years.

In the comments, Counting On fans started discussing Tyler’s move to the “real world.”

  • It is also lovely to see that he was able to make some lasting ‘sibling’ bonds while he lived there, for what became the majority of his childhood. Feeling wanted, loved or part of a family unit in those easily years is definitely something that can’t be changed in adulthood.
  • Not to leg hump but the fact he called him bro, much like when he was in that photo from that one wedding, makes me feel like they did make him feel welcome.
  • I hope he gets to live the best of both worlds. Living in the real world but still able to have a relationship with his cousins.
