Joseph Duggar

Joseph Duggar is a reality TV personality best known for appearing on TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On as a member of the Duggar family. Joseph is the seventh child of Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar. He was raised in a large, religious household and was homeschooled alongside his 18 siblings. Joseph later attended Crown College of the Bible in Tennessee, where he pursued religious studies before returning to Arkansas.

Joseph rose to fame through his family’s long-running reality shows, which documented the daily lives of the Duggar household. He became a familiar face to viewers on 19 Kids and Counting and continued appearing on the spinoff Counting On, which followed the older Duggar children as they entered adulthood, started careers and built families of their own.

In addition to his television appearances, Joseph has been involved in various family business ventures, including real estate and construction projects featured on the show. His public profile has remained closely tied to the Duggar family brand and their presence on reality TV.

In March 2026, Joseph was arrested in Arkansas on charges of lewd and lascivious molestation of a victim less than 12 years from an alleged 2020 incident.

Duggar married Kendra Caldwell in September 2017 after a brief courtship. The couple share three children: Garrett (born in 2018), Addison (born in 2019) and Brooklyn (born in 2021).
