The Duggar family legacy is taking on a new shape in 2025, with several siblings reflecting on their reality TV upbringing and pursuing different paths away from the spotlight. Jinger Duggar is especially open about her journey, sharing her struggles with body image and restrictive childhood norms, from not learning to swim because of modesty rules to dealing with people-pleasing habits. Jill Duggar is working to rebuild her relationship with their parents after a period of distance, while Jessa Duggar is celebrating the impending arrival of baby No. 6 with her husband, Ben Seewald.
Joy-Anna Duggar’s spouse, Austin Forsyth, opened up about pushing back against filming their family’s most intimate milestones in a move toward more privacy. Through memoirs, candid podcasts and social media posts, the next generation of Duggars are revealing how they’re choosing new directions — whether that means breaking free from strict traditions, embracing personal growth or finding ways to nurture family bonds in an ever-evolving spotlight.
