Counting On’s Anna Duggar and Kids Resurface in Rare Family Photo While Josh Remains in Prison

There she is! Anna Duggar (née Keller) resurfaced in a rare family photo along with the seven children she shares with Josh Duggar while her husband remains in prison.

Anna, 36, appeared in a group photograph shared to Facebook celebrating sister-in-law Nurie Keller’s 26th birthday. It was posted by Nurie’s parents, David and Jill Noyes Rodrigues, on April 19. Nurie is married to Anna’s younger brother, Nathan Keller.

In the portrait taken along a beach, everyone coordinated in white and tan outfits. All seven of Anna and Josh’s kids were seen in the photo, with teenagers Mackynzie, 15, and Michael, 13, already so tall they were standing in the back row.

The couple’s sons Marcus, 11, and Mason, 7, were seen in the second row with one knee in the sand on opposite sides of the group.

Daughters Meredith, 9, and Maryella, 5, stood in the third row near their mom, who held onto her youngest child, daughter Madyson, 3.

Nurie’s parents gushed about their daughter in the caption, writing, “She brings our hearts NOTHING but joy … She is beautiful inside and out, and she is an EXCELLENT Pastor’s wife and mother to her 3 small children.”

They added, “She is a gem through and through. She has set a stellar example to her younger 12 siblings, and we could NEVER have asked for a sweeter, more precious first born than Nurie. We love you.”

Nathan and Nurie wed on July 25, 2020. Anna and Josh, 37, attended the ceremony. The former 19 Kids and Counting star even served as the emcee at his in-law’s wedding reception, in a video posted by Without a Crystal Ball‘s Katie Joy.

Sightings of Anna have become increasingly rare ever since Josh was sentenced to 151 months — roughly 12.5 years — in federal prison after being convicted in December 2021 on child pornography charges.

He was found guilty of one count of receiving child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography following a nine-day trial. The latter charge was dropped at Josh’s sentencing in May 2022.

Anna was last photographed at her sons’ basketball game in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on December 10, 2024, still wearing her wedding ring from Josh.

Earlier that day, Anna was photographed paying Josh a visit at the Federal Correctional Institution Seagoville in Dallas, Texas.

The outings marked the first time she was photographed out in public in two years. Anna and her kids have been living on Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar‘s Tontitown, Arkansas, compound ever since Josh went to prison.

Anna was considering moving to Texas to be closer to Josh while he served his sentence. However, a source exclusively told In Touch in October 2022 that Josh was against the idea, fearing it would “influence” her to “leave him.”

“The problem is that Josh doesn’t want Anna and their kids moving away from his family,” the insider shared. “He thinks it will create too much of a disconnection for her and his kids.”

Anna is seldom seen in social media photos unless she’s with family members. She posed with mother-in-law Michelle Duggar, 58, in an October 2023 photo in front of an RV alongside a group of women.
