As you may have heard before, Anna Duggar was recently spotted Out for the first time in two years.
Mother of seven – yes, seven! – was photographed on her way to watch one of her sons play basketball at his school in Fayetteville, Arkansas on December 10.
The former reality star rocked a black shirt and gray jacket and, perhaps notably, broke from Duggar family tradition by ditching a long dress for a pair of light blue jeans.
No one had really seen Anna out and about since her abusive husband, Josh, was sentenced to more than a dozen years in prison. Convicted on charges of child pornography.
Considering the heinous nature of these charges (Josh was found guilty of possessing numerous videos and photographs of minors in sexually compromising situations), along with the fact that Josh has cheated on Anna and his sisters has confessed to cheating on… One would think that Anna would want nothing to do with her spouse anymore.
One would think Anna Duggar would be rushing to a divorce attorney.
But it would be a mistake to think so.
While it wasn’t previously reported when word broke that Anna had been spotted last week, we can now confirm that she was spotted — with her wedding ring on.
The 36-year-old appeared to be in good spirits, sharing a laugh with a friend as he walked back and forth to his vehicle, according to multiple outlets.
Duggar married her total husband in 2008 and shares children Mackinzie, 15, Michael, 13, Marcus, 11, Meredith, 9, Mason, 7, Mariela, 5, and Madison, 3, with the accused pedophile.
She is living with these children at the estate of in-laws Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar.
from that Punishment of husband on May 2022The 19 Kids and Counting alum has kept a low profile… despite returning to court when Josh was found guilty by a jury in December 2021 of one count of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
Before this sentence, Anna wrote a letter to the judge on behalf of her spouse.
“My children and I rely on Joshua for financial, emotional and physical support. Many others depend on Joshua as well,” Ana wrote in March 2022.
“Joshua sees the best in people and is willing to walk with them to make their dreams a reality.”
This may seem like a questionable statement, but we’ll keep our opinions to ourselves.
In contrast, Josh’s cousin is outspoken in trying to tell Amy Anna will divorce Josh.
“If no one else in your life is saying this, I need you to understand that there’s no shame in divorcing Josh,” Amy tells Ana a while back:
“Someday your children will be old enough to know what kind of guy their father really is. You cannot shield them from the truth forever!
“I am saying all this publicly so that when they grow up, they will also know that their family members were shouting from the rooftops that they were worthy of protection all the time.
“Your children look up to you so much… Please be the role model they need in their lives.”
