Surprising news out of Tontitown, Arkansas today, as Radar Online and Life & Style are reporting that Anna Duggar is pregnant with her fifth child.
The announcement has shocked fans of the formerly beloved, often controversial 19 Kids and Counting clan for a number of reasons.
Do we even need to explain said reasons?
For starters, many had hoped that Anna would leave husband Josh Duggar after myriad scandals that roiled the family in the past year.
Most notably, the fact that he reportedly paid adult film star Danica Dillon for sex while Anna was pregnant with the couple’s fourth child.
Making the situation even stranger is the fact that Josh has been in rehab for sex addiction after being outed as an Ashley Madison user.
He’s been in a Christian-based facility for the past several months, which has led to some confusion as to how the child was conceived.
While we know Anna has visited Josh in rehab, it was widely assumed that conjugal visits were banned due to the nature of his treatment.
“Anna announced that she thinks she is pregnant again,” says one family insider.
She believes the newly-conceived baby “is a sign that God has forgiven Josh for his many sins, and she’s vowed to stand by her husband.”
You may vomit on cue. Just aim away from the computer?
The source – anonymously adds that the baby was conceived during one of Anna’s overnight visits with Josh in recent months.
It’s unclear when exactly, but the Reformers Unanimous facility in Rockford, Illinois, has been the reality star’s home since August.
The Duggar family has not commented on this rumor as of yet, but insiders say to expect an official announcement sometime this week.
We’ll have updates on this story as more information becomes available, and if it turns out to be true, wow. Just … wow.
Among card carrying members of Duggar Nation, already polarized by events of the past year, the fallout should be intense.
Seriously, better grab a hat and hold the f–k onto that thing.
