Joseph Duggar and Kendra Duggar (née Caldwell) are raising their family in their home state of Arkansas. Since their meeting and subsequent marriage in 2017, the couple has become parents to several children. Following reports that they had a fourth child at some point, many are curious about how many children Joe and Kendra have.
The family of Joe and Kendra made headlines in March 2026 when Joseph was arrested and charged with indecent behavior—specifically, allegations of molestation against a victim under the age of 12 and indecent behavior committed by a person over 18, as reported by the Benton County Sheriff’s Office. Police noted that investigators were alerted by the Tontitown police about a report of alleged sexual abuse involving a 9-year-old girl in 2020. The victim, now 14, claimed that Joseph had molested her during a family vacation in Panama City Beach.
«The victim reported that Duggar repeatedly asked her to sit on his lap», - the sheriff’s office statement said. «As the vacation continued, he also asked her to sit next to him on the couch and covered them with a blanket. During this time, Duggar manipulated the victim’s underwear and touched her genitals. He also continued to stroke her thighs. The victim stated that Duggar eventually apologized for his actions, and the incidents stopped after the apology».
Police added that the victim’s father confronted Joseph about the allegations on March 17, 2026, and that the «Counting On» show alumnus admitted his actions to the father and Tontitown detectives.
