It’s been a decade since 19 Kids and Counting, the reality TV phenomenon that followed the lives of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s ever-growing family, left the airwaves. Once household names with a massive following, the Duggar parents have taken a much more private route in recent years—though their legacy and controversies still echo across pop culture.

Now in their late 50s, Jim Bob and Michelle have shifted their focus away from television fame and back to their core values: faith, family, and community. They’ve stayed rooted in their hometown of Tontitown, Arkansas, where they continue to live in their expansive family home. While they’ve occasionally appeared in family-related posts or events, they’ve largely remained out of the public spotlight since the cancellation of their show and the subsequent scandals involving their eldest son, Josh Duggar.

The couple is still active in their local church and continue to homeschool their remaining underage children. Meanwhile, many of their adult children have gone on to build their own families—and their own followings—sometimes distancing themselves from their parents’ strict beliefs.
Though no longer reality TV stars, Jim Bob and Michelle remain central figures in one of the most talked-about families in recent memory.
