Amy Duggar is talking about her relationship with her famous relatives. In a recent interview, Michelle and Jim’s niece Bob Duggar confessed that there are some members of the Counting on family he hasn’t spoken to in a while, though he says he wishes them all the best. But there is one Duggar that Amy is still in regular contact with: her cousin Jill Duggar.

Amy, who is the daughter of Jim Bob’s older sister Deanna, spoke to Entertainment Tonight before Counting on Season premiere on July 7. The 33-year-old woman said she is particularly close to one of her 19 cousins.
“Jill and I text, not daily, but we text frequently enough,” Amy said. “And we discussed things.”
Jill’s husband Derick Dillard has spoken about his broken relationship with his in-laws. The mother of two is also rumored to be separated from his parents.

Amy did not share many details about her relationship with the rest of the Duggar family, although she did say that there were some people she had not spoken to in a long time. But Amy, who received her first child with husband Dillon King in 2019, did not appear to have any resentment towards their separated relatives.
“I think we are all trying to find our way and we are all doing things differently,” he said. “I am doing things differently and I am happy where I am. I’m happy for them. Things are definitely different, but I’m happy for everyone. “
As a child Amy used to spend time at Duggar’s house. Sometimes they saw her in episodes of the previous family show, 19 children and counting. But her upbringing was less strict than that of Jill and her siblings, and she said Jim Bob was concerned that it might be a negative influence. As a teenager, she was only allowed to spend time with her cousins under the watchful eyes of Jim Bob and Michelle.
Amy Duggar has hinted that she is not allowed to speak openly about the Duggars.
Fans have long speculated about Amy’s relationship with her uncle and children. Some expected her to spill some tea over the family rumors and scandals. But that may be unlikely to happen. In the past, Amy has hinted that she is not allowed to speak openly about the Duggars.
In a recent Instagram Live, Amy was asked about her cousin Jana Duggar. Amy began to respond, but her mother quickly intervened, reminding her daughter that she had an NDA. Later, Amy joked that the two could “get in trouble” for her comments.
In March 2020, gossip vlogger Katie Joy pulled an interview with Amy from her YouTube channel, without a crystal ball. Amy had asked the YouTuber to download the video shortly after it was posted, saying that “someone” did not want the interview to come out. Observers from the Duggar family assumed that “someone” was Jim Bob.
New episodes of Counting on premiere on Tuesday, July 7 at 8 / 7c on TLC.
