'Counting On' Fans Think 2025 Will Be Huge For The Duggars

Counting On alums Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have been inactive on social media for quite some time. The married couple left the online world in April 2021 after the CSAM arrest of their oldest son, Josh. Since then, fans have only been able to get updates about the two through their children’s vlogs and social media posts. But despite their absence, some Redditors think 2025 will be a huge year for the family. Keep reading to see why.

Counting On: Jim Bob Duggar Ran Out Of Options To Defend Josh?

Earlier this year, Josh reportedly filed for certiorari. It’s a request to have a higher court review the decisions made by a lower court. The Counting On alum also believes Caleb Williams should be blamed as an alternate suspect. However, the Supreme Court rejected Josh’s latest appeal, and many believe it puts the nail in the coffin for his chances to defend himself. There are also speculations that Jim Bob has been funding most of his son’s defenses, and a lot of people are upset as he could’ve just used the money for his kids or organizations that help victims of child abuse.

Josh is currently serving his 12.5-year prison sentence in FCI Seagoville federal prison in Texas. There are also rumors that his wife, Anna, no longer visits him, making several people think they’re on their way to a divorce.

Fans Think 2025 Will Be Huge For The Duggars

Some Redditors discussed why 2025 will be a big year for the Duggar family. According to the poster, there will be a baby boom next year. They think Kendra, Lauren, Jill, Jessa, and Hannah will all welcome new grandbabies for Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.

Katey is currently the only pregnant Duggar today. The Counting On alum is expecting twin baby girls with Jed, and it’s believed that she’ll welcome her twins sometime next year. Aside from the baby boom, several commenters speculate another scandal may surface next year, especially with Jim Bob’s troubles with the IRS.

“I am manifesting a big audit from the IRS. I mean considering what we already know about them, imagine all the things that we don’t.”
“I see another scandal coming.”
“I have a gut feeling that Jill is already pregnant.”
“If Jason and Maddie are already courting, there is no way they’re going to wait until fall of next year to get married. April 2025, tops.”
“I think the Vuolos will have a baby next year – Jeremy will definitely want to try once more for a boy and it’s been long enough since Evangeline to distance themselves from crazy quiverful style fundies.”

Counting On: Another Book About The Family

Aside from a possible baby boom, many fans are also anticipating an upcoming book written by Jinger Duggar Vuolo. The Counting On alum previously revealed that she will release a book titled People Pleaser: Breaking Free from the Burden of Imaginary Expectation. It will tell the story of how Jinger broke free from the need for approval from others and discovered true freedom, which may put Jim Bob and Michelle’s parenting in question again.
