Jill Duggar reunited with her mom, Michelle Duggar, and the majority of her sisters to support Jinger Duggar in a rare group outing.
“We had the best time on our Texas roadtrip to see fam, great friends & attend the 2nd annual ‘Share The Arrows’ Christian women’s conference with @alliebstuckey,” Jill, 34, wrote via Instagram on Monday, October 20.
The former Counting On star revealed the conference was a special event for their family as she was there to “cheer for my sis @jingervuolo during her session at the conference! Whoop whoop!”
Jill added, “Road tripping with the fam is always my fave! 💙☕️,” before asking her followers about their “go-to roadtrip drink.” (Jill revealed her favorites are “lots of coffee & an occasional diet Dr. Pepper.”)
Since 19 Kids and Counting skyrocketed Jill Duggar into the spotlight, she’s experienced plenty of ups and downs with her parents and siblings. Fans first met the Duggars in 2008 when their TLC reality series, originally titled 17 Kids and Counting, premiered. The show highlighted the devout Baptist family’s day-to-day lives, from homeschooling to courtships. […]
Jill shared a series of photos from the weekend, including one with her mom, 59, and sisters Jinger, 31, Jessa, 32, Joy-Anna, 27, and sister-in-law Kendra Duggar in front of a sign that read, “Share the Arrows.”
Another group snap revealed that their youngest sisters, Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn-Grace and Josie, were also there to celebrate Jinger’s achievement. Eldest sister Jana Duggar was not present for the girls’ getaway. (Michelle and husband Jim Bob share nine daughters and 10 sons, including Josh, John-David, Joseph, Josiah, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin and Jackson.)
“It was so good to see you all! Love you!! 💛,” Jinger replied in the comments section. Jill saw the response and wrote back, “I love you sis!❤️ It was so fun and you did great!”
In Jill’s social media post she also showed support for cousin Amy Duggar, by sharing a picture of her memoir, Holy Disruptor, which came out on October 14.

In a December 2024 Instagram photo roundup from brother James Duggar, Jill, 33, was seen sitting next to her husband, Derick Dillard, on a brown sectional couch. The married couple, who wed in 2014, appeared […]
Jinger, for her part, shared pictures from the reunion via Instagram earlier this month.
“Praise God for an unforgettable weekend in Dallas at @alliebstuckey’s Share the Arrows women’s conference!” she captioned the October 13 post. “Best times with my mom and sisters over delicious Texas BBQ and met many inspiring ladies! Can’t wait for next year!!”
Jinger uploaded a few of the same pictures as Jill, adding a selfie of the pair and behind-the-scenes moments before her speech. She also posted a few snaps of her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, with their kids on the road.
The girls’ reunion came amid Jill’s somewhat recent foray back into the family.
Jill — the fourth child of Michelle and Jim Bob — was thrust into the limelight when TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting premiered in 2008. It was canceled in 2015, but Jill and her husband, Derick Dillard, as well as most of her siblings continued to star in the Counting On spinoff.
Jill and Derick, 36, exited the show in 2017, and started to distance themselves from the bulk of the family. (Counting On was canceled in 2021 after Josh, 37, was arrested on child pornography charges. He is now serving more than 12 years in prison.)
Jinger Duggar is enjoying the Lone Star State and a rare family reunion. “Allie B. Stuckey’s Share the Arrows dinner was amazing! So thankful to attend with my mom and sisters,” Jinger, 31, wrote via Instagram on Friday, October 10, referring to the Christian-based conference held in Texas. “Now, let’s get this conference started!!!” Ahead […]
Since leaving reality TV, Jill has been vocal about the “toxic” side of doing the show and being raised in a Christian baptist fundamentalist religion, specifically the controversial Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP).
In November 2024, Jill revealed that had a “complicated” relationship with her parents after their estrangement.
“I feel like we are in a rebuilding phase now with healthy boundaries still in place,” she wrote via her Instagram Story at the time. “We try to hang out whenever it works well and we have the bandwidth to navigate things.”
Jill’s bond with her family and her parents specifically has seemed to improve even more over the past year. In May, she had a “wonderful” birthday celebration with her mom and a few of her sisters, according to Instagram.
The following month, Jill honored both her husband — with whom she shares sons Israel, Samuel and Frederick — and her dad on Father’s Day via a social media tribute.
“Happy Father’s Day to my own dad @duggarfam who always made time for us kids and kept things exciting and adventurous growing up, including the family bike rides, work days at the car lot, meals of cold butter beans with ketchup and BBQ tunafish sandwiches,” Jill wrote.
