Much has been assumed about Josh Duggar’s bride.
What is she like? Did she turn a blind eye to her husband’s infidelities? Is she allowed to speak without a script from the Duggars???
“She’s really fun,” a source recently told People Magazine of Anna, 27.
“She was always the bossy sister [growing up], but in a fun way.
“If she and her siblings were playing a game, she would make sure they were doing it exactly by the rules. They always had a good time together.”
Anna Keller grew up one of eight children in a religious household similar to that of the Duggars.
“Her parents are even a little more extreme,” the source said of Anna’s family.
Anna met Josh at a 2006 Christian Homeschool Convention, but if she fell for Josh then and there, no one in her family knew.
“That’s not something that’s shared amongst siblings,” the source explained.
“They always got 15-minute, one-on-one sessions with their mom every week. That was the time to share their feelings, but other than that they had to keep their feelings to themselves.”
Even her youngest sister, Susanna, whom the source pointed out was “attached at the hip” with Anna growing up.
“They did everything together.”
In March of this year, Anna spoke candidly on Jill & Jess Counting On about visit Josh at his faith-based rehab, where he was seeking treatment for a porn addiction, infidelity and molesting young girls as a teen.
“This visit was great because it definitely gives a lot of hope, but also the weight of everything is there and so it definitely drives me deeper to my faith,” Anna said.
The mother-of-four addressed her relationship with Josh again on a recent episode.
I think it’s daily, there’s going to be a lot of work and there kind of is a long process ahead, but we’ll just kind of take it one day at time and keep trusting god and doing the right thing.
“I think there’s lots of hope for the future and a lot of excitement. But, in some ways, there are a lot of steps before it’s where it needs to be.”
Translation: Jesus take the wheel.
