😱 Life After Josh: Anna Duggar Seems to Be Thriving While Her Husband Remains Behind Bars — Fresh Details Emerge!

While disgraced former 19 Kids & Counting star Josh Duggar sits behind bars serving a 151-month prison sentence for receiving Child Sex Abuse Materials (CSAM), his wife, Anna Duggar, appears to be thriving in his absence. 

As you may know, Anna shares seven children with her incarcerated husband– daughters Mackynzie, Meredith, Maryella and Madyson, and sons Michael, Marcus and Mason. Following Josh’s conviction and subsequent imprisonment, Anna has remained devoted to her husband, making frequent visits to her slammer-dwelling spouse, despite living in Arkansas– a nearly six-hour drive from the Federal Correctional Institute (FCI) Seagoville in Texas where Josh is serving his sentence.  

While Anna continues to stand by her man, the mom of seven also appears to be flourishing in the free world and was recently photographed at a tea and juice bar in East Palatka, Florida. 

In the photo, which was posted to the juice bar’s Instagram page, a now-blond Anna was seen smiling and posing with friends– none of whom were tagged in the post.   

Anna’s last notable public appearance happened nearly a year ago when she was photographed by paparazzi while attending an event in Arkansas. The December 2024 paparazzi pics, which were obtained by The Sun, marked Anna’s first public appearance since Josh’s May 2022 sentencing. In those photos, Anna wore jeans and a baggy sweater, while sporting shorter, natural-colored hair– a significant change from the blond highlights and form-fitting dress she wore to Josh’s sentencing. 

As The Ashley previously told you, it was reported in December that Anna had turned to breeding golden retrievers in order to provide for her large family in her husband’s absence. According to the social media pages and website for Golden Grove Pups, Anna’s business has continued to grow throughout the last year, garnering more than 3,000 followers on Instagram alone.   

Anna recently took to X to share a positive story about one of her children as well, suggesting that her seven kids are living a relatively normal life.  

“Made a core memory tonight at the Razorbacks game – Marcus hit a full-court golf putt!!” Anna posted earlier this month. “Couldn’t be prouder.” 

As of last year, Anna– like many in the Duggar family– was still homeschooling her seven children; however, The Sun reported that her three sons were taking part in local sports within the community. A source went on to tell the outlet that Anna was seen bringing her sons to basketball games weekly and watching them play from the stands. 

“She socializes with people and appears to have made friends with basketball parents,” the source added. 

It was also reported last year that Anna and her seven children were still living in a warehouse located on Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s Arkansas property while awaiting Josh’s 2032 release from prison; however, the Duggar Family News: Life is Not All Pickles and Hairspray Facebook page claimed in April that Anna and her children had relocated to a large home that was reportedly purchased by her in-laws.
