News first broke on the ongoing situation involving Joseph Duggar, the former TLC reality star, on March 18, 2026, and in the days that followed, several of his siblings publicly spoke out.
Now, nearly three weeks later, some members of the Duggar family appear to be moving forward with their own lives as the situation continues to unfold.
One of those siblings is Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth, who recently shared a new family photo on social media. Here’s what the Duggar daughter had to say.
Joy-Anna Duggar Shares Sweet Family Photo as Joseph Duggar Situation Continues
The ninth child and fifth daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth, recently took to social media to share a new family photo.
Joy-Anna posted a sweet snapshot featuring herself, her husband, and their three children. She kept the caption simple, writing, “Easter Sunday 2026.”
The 28-year-old married her husband, Austin Forsyth, on May 26, 2017. At the time of their wedding, Joy was 19, and Austin was 23.
Since exchanging vows, the couple has become the parents of three children.
Joy and Austin welcomed their first child, Gideon Martin Forsyth, in February 2018.
The couple welcomed their second child and first daughter, Evelyn Mae Forsyth, in August 2020.
Their third child and second son, Gunner James Forsyth, was born in May 2023.
Fans poured into Joy’s comment section, still showing support during this difficult time. One fan wrote, “Beautiful family,” while another added, “Beautiful family. You all look amazing.”
Others complimented Joy-Anna directly, with one fan commenting, “Joyyy this dress is so perfect on you. Y’all look great!!”
Some commenters also referenced the ongoing situation involving Joseph Duggar. One fan wrote, “Maybe pray for the Caldwell’s ….” As fans may know, the Caldwell family refers to Joseph Duggar’s in-laws.
The Caldwells recently reached out to the public for prayers and financial support through a GoFundMe.
Joy-Anna Duggar Played a Big Part In Joseph and Kendra Duggar’s Courtship
While many fans may know that Joseph Duggar married Kendra Caldwell on September 8, 2017, what some fans may not realize is that Joy-Anna played a key role in their relationship.
Joy married Austin a few months before Joe and Kendra tied the knot. Now, Joseph wasn’t in Joy’s wedding as the only Duggar brother in the Forsyth’s bridal party was John-David Duggar, who served as one of Austin’s groomsmen. However, Joy did ask Joseph Duggar’s future wife, Kendra Caldwell, to be one of her bridesmaids.
And that’s where things get interesting, because Joseph actually planned his engagement with Joy’s help. He got the okay from Joy and Austin to plan his engagement at their wedding reception. So, when the time came to throw the bouquet, all the single ladies got behind Joy for a chance to catch it.
However, Joy ended up just turning around and walking the bouquet straight to Kendra. Then Joseph Duggar came in, got down on one knee, and popped the question to Kendra at Joy and Austin’s wedding reception.
Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth Has Spoken Out Against Her Brother Joseph Duggar
Despite helping her brother plan his engagement, Joy-Anna hasn’t minced words when it comes to Joseph Duggar’s latest charges.
Like many of her siblings, the Duggar daughter took to social media to release a statement rebuking Joseph’s actions.
In an Instagram Story, Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth wrote, “What has come out about my brother is heartbreaking and deeply disturbing.”
She added, “I have been a wreck this week and am taking time to process. I have a few pre-filmed commitments that I have to post, but I will be taking some much-needed time with my family. Thank you for your prayers.”
As the situation continues to unfold, posts like Joy-Anna’s offer a glimpse into how some members of the Duggar family are choosing to focus on their day-to-day lives, even as broader developments continue to draw public attention.
