We always knew that one of the Duggar kids would one day rebel against Jim Bob's teachings and the ultra-conservative manner in which they were raised.
But for most of her life, Jill Duggar seemed like the least-likely candidate for such an uprising.
Can you hear those, celebrity gossip followers?
Stop for a second and listen closely.
As the entire free world knows very well, the Duggars are comprised, in part, by an endless number of children.
However, fans of the television series that features members of this polarizing family may need to come to grips with the following piece of information:
Well, we certainly didn't see this one coming.
The Duggars have been more secretive than ever in recent weeks, and fans suspect them of hiding everything from Anna Duggar's seventh pregnancy to Jana Duggar's courtship with Stephen Wissmann.
Just a few months after turning 18, Justin Duggar married Claire Spivey.
The teens were already controversial, for their fundamental beliefs and for their barely legal status.
It's only been a few weeks since Kendra Caldwell welcomed her third child.
But it seems that she and Joseph Duggar are already demonstrating that they're the kind of parents who get a little less cautious with each successive kid.
Big news out of Northwest Arkansas this week.
In fact, this is the update that some Duggar fanas have been awaiting for over a decade.
As you've likely heard by now, Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah drew a massive audience and created some serious controversy on Sunday night.
The reason it resonated with millions of people is simple:
Mere days after Justin Duggar exchanged vows -- and, we presume, bodily fluids -- with Claire Spivey, the Internet is suddenly abuzz.
It's curious.
Usually, when a member of the Duggar family gets pregnant, she can't wait to shout the news from the rooftops
But Anna Duggar's situation is very different from those of her sisters-in-law.
Last week, we reported on the exciting news that a pilot named Stephen Wissman might be courting Jana Duggar.
Stephen, of course, is from a family that's a lot like the Duggars:
Pretty much every time Jana Duggar is photographed in the presence of a man, Counting On fans jump to the conclusion that the two of them are courting.
This obviously leads to a lot of dead ends, and most of the speculation about Jana's love life has led nowhere.
For weeks now, rumors that Anna Duggar is pregnant with her seventh child have been circulating non-stop on social media.
Of course, Duggar rumors are always flying around on Instagram and Twitter, and it can be tough to know which ones to believe.
It's no secret Jana Duggar lives a life that's very different from those of her sisters.
While Jill, Jessa, Jinger, and Joy-Anna all married young and started cranking out babies right away, Jana remains single at 31, and there's a possibility that she might never tie the knot.
Usually, when a member of the Duggar family enters a new courtship, it's a very big deal.
But the youngest members of Jim Bob's massive brood never appeared on Counting On as much as their older siblings, so they might prefer to keep their relationship details under wraps.
Amy Duggar has never shown much interest in the ultra-strict system of rules that her cousins are forced to follow.
And while the decision to follow her own conscience has lead to Amy being banished from Jim Bob and Michelle's house, it's also allowed her the freedom to do what she wants with her life, rather than being forced to follow the path laid out for her by her famous uncle.
It's no surprise when a member of the Duggar family rushes into marriage with a person whom they've only been dating for a few months.
But in most cases, the offspring of Jim Bob and Michelle are at least legal adults when they enter the relationship that will eventually lead to a wedding and many, many children.
They can't drink any champagne in celebration.
And they are legally banned from renting a car on their honeymoon.
Well, it looks like the ongoing feud between Jill Duggar and her parents has now developed into an all-out war!
The situation escalated earlier this week, when Joy-Anna Duggar seemed to throw major shade at Jill by "liking" a comment.
We've spoken before about the Duggar family's strange obsession with sex.
This fixation is one of the more bizarre aspects of their lifestyle, as it seems to run counter to Jim Bob's evangelical belief system, which controls so much of what his kids think and say and do.
For almost a year now, Jill Duggar has been feuding with her family and keeping her distance from her overbearing parents.
Jill never seemed like a likely candidate for rebellion, as she spent her teens and early twenties doing exactly as her parents said.
She. Is. Here!
Oh, and she's also totally perfect and amazing in every conceivable way.
