Jinger Duggar Transformation From Snarky Rebel to Loyal Housewife

When Jinger Duggar first appeared on 19 Kids and Counting, she was an instant fan-favorite. Unlike her sisters, she never seemed quite comfortable in front of the cameras, was always rolling her eyes, and looked downright annoyed at times with her own family. At times, fans would often joke that Jinger's expressions reminded them a lot of their own. But considering the Duggars' strict religion discourages independent thought (especially from kids), many viewers suspected Jinger's snarky reactions were a sign that she wanted to "break free" from her family.

After all, the 24-year-old has admitted to wanting to go to college to study photography, said she wanted to live in a city, and even revealed that she doesn't like babysitting. Considering all the Duggar women do nothing but give birth to babies and be loyal housewives, she sounds like the opposite of a Duggar wife. But during the past few years, Jinger has undergone a transformation. Gone is the spunky teen who rolled her eyes at her family. Instead, she's been replaced with a soft-spoken wife who always looks up at her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, with that creepy adoring gaze. Whatever happened to the old Jinger?

However, not all is lost. Jinger's husband allows her to wear pants and she's been able to fulfill her dream of living away from her family in Laredo, TX. She also didn't immediately start having children like her sisters. Instead, she waited a year before announcing her pregnancy, which has many fans suspecting she's using birth control (which is another no-no within their religion). Although it's nice to see Jinger wearing pants and looking happy as she sips Starbucks in her home of Laredo, we can't help but find her evolution a tad bittersweet. Below, a look at how Jinger has changed over the years.

Her trademark eye rolls made her a fan favorite.

When Jinger first made her debut on 19 Kids and Counting, fans loved her hilarious facial expressions that ranged from sarcastic eye-rolls to even snarky "ew" faces. Unlike the rest of the Duggar daughters who blindly followed their parents' orders without much conflict, Jinger always appeared to look stubborn and independent. Fans liked her spunky spirit and dubbed her as the "rebel Duggar" who would most likely leave the family once she was free from her parents and their strict religion.

She wasn't obsessed with babies or taking care of a bunch of kids.

Because the Duggars practice a "buddy system" where the oldest Duggar daughters pretty much take care of all their younger siblings, the sister-moms are all naturals at the whole parenting thing. But on the show, Jinger was never that gaga over babies, and she even admitted that she got annoyed having to take care of her siblings. "I think Jill likes babysitting the most out of the four oldest girls," she said on the show. "Jill has a lot more patience than me." Clearly.

She admitted she wanted to move away from Arkansas and live in a big city.

During an old interview with the daughters where they talked about their dream spouse, Jinger revealed that she wanted to meet a man who lived in a big city, hours away from their tiny town in Arkansas. "I’d be OK anywhere but the city would be awesome," she said on the show. "She doesn’t want to live three hours out from civilization," Jessa clarified for the cameras. "No! City please city please," Jinger replied back. Considering all the Duggar kids don't typically leave Arkansas, this was a pretty radical opinion to reveal at the time.

Jinger's dreams of city living were crushed by her mother, Michelle.

When asked by Radar if Jinger was going to a move to a big city, Michelle quickly squashed those dreams away. "Jinger didn’t mean she wanted to move to New York City," Michelle said. "She meant that she wants to live closer to a city. We’re talking right near a city, but not New York City. Jinger meant she wanted to live 15 minutes from a WalMart." Riiiight.

Her best friend Jessa moved out.

Only 10 months apart in age, the sisters are the closest in the family and are like sisters. But when Jessa married Ben Seewald and moved out of the house, Jinger was stuck in the house with even more responsibilities. With her closest ally out, fans think she might've felt pressure to meet a Jim Bob-approved husband as quickly as possible.

She meets Jeremy Vuolo.

Although Jeremy lived a "rebellious" life before finding Christianity after college, the pastor swept Jinger right off her feet. Fans were initially happy about the pairing and thought college-educated Jeremy was enlightened enough to "save" Jinger from her family. However, the reality is that Jeremy is quite strict in his beliefs as well. Aside from letting her wear pants, his views don't differ from the rest of her family's.

Her transformation to loyal Duggar wife is now complete.

Since tying the knot, Jinger has moved to Laredo, TX and is now expecting a baby girl. Although there are some aspects of her life that's different from her sisters, from wearing pants to living somewhere different, the reality is that she's currently in the same boat as everyone else. Fans have noticed that Jinger no longer does her snarky eye-rolls and that she even speaks in a softer Michelle-like voice to appease her husband.

Oh well — time to start putting our bets on Josiah.
