Last week, the world learned that Josh Duggar had returned to Arkansas after spending six months at an Illinois rehab facility, where he was treated for sex addiction.
We know that Anna Duggar visited Josh in rehab, but there’s been no word on the state of their troubled marriage in the time since his return.
Now it looks as though that may be by design, as the couple is reportedly having trouble now that they’re living under the same roof for the first time in half a year.
“Things are very sensitive between Josh and his wife Anna,” a source tells Hollywood Life.
“She also is doing her best to forgive him but she is getting pressure from friends to divorce Josh. The relationship is in trouble now that he is back.”
The insider says the rumors that Anna is planning to leave Josh are untrue, and she’s committed to making their marriage work, but the task is proving much more difficult than she imagined:
“They are doing lots of prayer together and trying to make it work for the kids but their future is still uncertain,” says the source.
As for the reports that Anna is pregnant with Josh’s baby – the family has been quiet on that front for several weeks now, which leads us to believe they could be building up to a surprise announcement.
Band-Aid babies are a terrible way to try and fix a troubled marriage, but given how much the Duggars love procreating, we could see how it might strike Josh and Anna as a good idea.
The family returns to TV tomorrow night with the premiere of Jill & Jessa: Counting On.
Anna’s story will be featured, but Josh will not appear on the show.
