According to a fan account, Duggar Family News, this new home is conveniently located just minutes from Jim Bob's and Michelle's residence. Furthermore, it has been suggested that the funding for this purchase may come from Jim's financial dealings with Walmart real estate.

The account also stated that after Josh's release, he will not be permitted to reside with Anna and the children in the new home. As noted by In Touch, the report read:

While residing with Jim, Josh's wife Anna is currently navigating life with her seven children, Michael, Marcus, Mason, Mackynzie, Meredith, Maryella, and Madyson. 

Josh has been imprisoned since 2021 and sentenced to 151 months for receiving and possessing child pornography. His sentence, initially set to end on August 12, 2032, has now been extended to October 2, 2032, due to a cellphone violation in March 2023.

In 2021, the TV personality faced one of the most challenging years of his life as a series of scandals shook the once-respected Duggar family. 

The situation intensified in December, just days before Christmas, when Jim Bob suffered a significant political setback, receiving only 15% of the votes in his attempt to secure a position in the Arkansas State Senate. 

This defeat was harrowing for someone who had previously served in the Arkansas House. Compounding his troubles, the family was still grappling with the fallout from Josh's guilty verdict in a child pornography trial. 

To add to the turmoil, Jana Duggar was charged with misdemeanor child endangerment just a day after Josh's conviction. Amidst this chaos, Jill Duggar also revealed that she had distanced herself from her parents' home for years, prioritizing her mental health over familial obligations.

Congrats to Jim Bob Duggar and his family on their new purchase!
