New Duggar Marriage Confirmed, See Details

A reality TV fan page on FB, “Duggar Family News: Life is not all pickles and hairspray,” recently shared new details regarding an alleged Duggar marriage. According to the page, James Duggar and his alleged GF, Lydia, are getting hitched soon. Lydia is revealed to be the sister of Josiah’s wife, Lauren. The page then shows a wedding registry showing James and Lydia’s marriage set on May 21, 2026. There are also wedding gift cards prepared, such as a touchscreen calendar, gift cards, and reusable seal packs. While no one from the family has confirmed the wedding, some Counting On fans believe it’s most likely true.

• “Josiah’s wife is Lauren. She was laughed at by couple of Bates girls. Maybe sometimes it is tough in the perfect world of fundies …”
• “The fundie circle is so small that they have to start marrying siblings.”
• “These folks do love deflection: Family crisis in the news? We’d better have a wedding! NIKE!”
• “For some reason, it feels really gross when the siblings marry within the same family as another sibling.”
• “They intermarry,,,., probably to control the gene pool and other things as well “
• “I love the Duggar family and I’m really looking forward to seeing James and Lydia’s wedding, it’s going to be beautiful!”
