ANNA Duggar has been seen publically for the first time in nearly three years in Arkansas while her disgraced husband, Josh, continues to serve an over 12-year prison sentence in Dallas, Texas.
Anna, 36, has been raising her seven children with Josh, 36, in a warehouse on Jim Bob and Michelle’s Tontitown, Arkansas compound while her disgraced husband serves his 151-month prison sentence.

The U.S. Sun has obtained exclusive photos of Anna out in Arkansas for the first time in years on December 10.
Anna wore a beige and brown sweater while at a community event.
She paired the sweater with tight blue jeans.
As Duggar fans know, pants, especially jeans, are frowned upon in their religion, as Jim Bob, 59, and Michelle, 58 raised their daughters to wear more modest clothes, such as long dresses and skirts.
Anna ditched the blonde highlights she had during her husband’s trial and returned to her natural brown locks.
She seemed solemn as she walked to her car with one of her children, who is not pictured.
The U.S. Sun could confirm the woman is Anna and that she is living on the Duggar compound.

INSIDE ANNA’S LIFE
The U.S. Sun previously reported on Anna’s lonely life in Arkansas, as she raises their seven children Mackynzie, 15, Michael, 13, Marcus, 11, Meredith, 9, Mason, 7, Maryella, 5, and Madyson, 3, alone.
Anna still lives in the warehouse on her in-laws’ compound.
She resided with Josh and their seven children before his April 2021 arrest on child pornography charges.
While Anna’s children are home-schooled, they participate in local sports.
A source previously told The U.S. Sun Anna has been seen “socializing” with other parents at her children’s sporting events.
Anna has turned to dog breeding to provide for her family while her husband remains behind bars.
Anna filed a business license for Golden Grove Pups, LLC in May 2024.
Social media pages, which The U.S. Sun can confirm are Anna’s company, reveal she breeds golden retrievers.
The latest post from October is a video of four puppies playing together with the caption, “Throwback to playtime fun! These pups know how to make the most of their day, especially when there’s a good ol’ rope to wrestle with!
“Tugging, rolling, and playful barks all around! It’s impossible not to smile watching them enjoy every second.”
Some of the photos even show the puppies in the warehouse, as the distinct floors match.
SUPPORTIVE SPOUSE
Anna regularly visits her husband in prison with their children.
A family member of an inmate imprisoned with Josh previously told The U.S. Sun that Anna visits her husband frequently with their seven young children.
The insider claimed, “We’ve seen Anna at visitation fairly regularly. I’ve spoken to Anna a couple of times.
“Normally the only thing I’ve seen is Anna and then their kids, I don’t really know anybody else.”
The source said the prison has “board games and blocks” to keep children busy during visitation.
BEHIND BARS
The U.S. Sun also obtained exclusive photos of Josh for the first time in years walking on the prison grounds by himself on November 22.
In the pictures, Josh wore a brown shirt, shorts and sunglasses.
Josh sported a mustache and short beard.
The former used car lot owner appeared to be in good spirits while walking around the track.
Josh was last seen in 2022 when a prison photo leaked of the disgraced reality star behind bars.
Josh Duggar’s Legal Timeline
Former 19 Kids and Counting star Josh Duggar was sentenced to 151 months in prison for downloading and possessing child sex abuse images in December 2021. Here’s the timeline of the ex-reality star’s legal woes.
- Josh was initially accused of downloading child sexual abuse material in May 2019 after an investigation by Homeland Security Investigators.
- Later that November, Homeland Security visited the car dealership where Josh was working to raid his computer.
- On April 29, 2021, Josh was arrested and held without bail at an Arkansas jail.
- He was charged the next day during a hearing at the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas via Zoom with receiving and possessing child sex abuse images, to which he pled not guilty.
- Josh’s trial began on November 30, 2021, in a federal courtroom in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and a verdict was reached on December 9, 2021.
- He was found guilty of knowing and receiving child sex abuse material.
- In May 2022, Josh was sentenced to 12 years in federal prison and ordered to pay $50,100 in fines and special assessments.
- Josh’s legal team later appealed the conviction to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, which was denied in late 2023.
- Shortly after, Josh again appealed for a new trial, with his attorney arguing that federal agents wouldn’t allow Josh to call him at the time of his arrest.
- On June 24, 2024, Josh’s request was again rejected.
