Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's marriage is plagued with divorce drama. Reports have it that the "19 Kids and Counting" patriarch and matriarch are no longer happy with their marriage but remain together for the money.
For those following the Duggars, you would probably agree that the family's Christian and conservative values keep them as a whole. Splits and divorces are unlikely to happen in the Duggars but some sources claim that Jim Bob and Michelle are on the verge of breaking up.
According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's divorce might happen before the year ends. The family was put into a bad light after Josh Duggar's molestation scandal went public.
The family's reputation was questioned, their credibility dropped and they lost their long-time reality show "19 Kids and Counting." The said reality show earned the Duggars tons of money and a number of sponsors but Josh Duggar ruined it all.
According to the report, when TLC canceled their show, the family lost millions of dollars in advertisement revenue and endorsement deals. They were able to return in "Jill & Jessa: Counting On" but reports have it that their exposure might be short-lived. The spinoff did not compare to the success of the family's first reality show.
Parent Herald previously reported that TLC sponsors continue to abandon the Duggars. A number of companies backed out upon learning that their ads are run during "Jill & Jessa: Counting On." So, most likely TLC might give up on the Duggars soon.
Per CDL, Jim Bob and Michelle beg their fans for financial donations to support their huge family. The family is hoping that Jessa's pregnancy and Jill's engagement and wedding will keep fans interested in following them.
GameNGuide added that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are no longer happy with their marriage but only stays together for the money. Of course, the family has been showing their dedication to keeping a whole family together and a divorce will just worsen their reputation.
However, reports have it that Michelle and Jim Bob are earning less than they do when they still have "19 Kids and Counting" and it might not take long for the two to call it quits. The pressure would be too much for the parents to raise their huge family without the million dollar paycheck they used to receive monthly and they might just part ways.
