ANNA and Josh Duggar have welcomed their SEVENTH child to the family amidst his child pornography scandal.
The Counting On stars announced their pregnancy on April 23, just days before he was arrested on counts of child pornography.
Anna, 33, has given birth to her seventh child, a baby girl named Madyson Lily, alongside her husband Josh, also 33.
The busy mother shared the news with a post on social media as they celebrated the arrival of their newest addition on October 23.
The TV personality captioned her shot: “Meet little Madyson Lily Duggar,” with a pink heart emoji.
Anna also re-shared the image to her stories, where she revealed that the baby was born at 2:39 am and weighed seven pounds and nine ounces.
DUGGAR DOWNFALL
The baby’s birth came just weeks before Josh’s looming court appearance after he was arrested for receiving and possessing child pornography.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s oldest son has pleaded not guilty and will return to trial on November 30.
In early October, The Sun exclusively revealed that the father of seven will be ordered to provide an alibi and witnesses in order to support his defense.

Prosecutors are requesting the court order Josh to provide “any intended alibi defense and that such notice include each specific place where the Defendant claims to have been at the time of the alleged offense.”
The government has asked in the court documents for his alibi “on or about May 14, 2019, through May 16, 2019, between approximately 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. each day at Wholesale Motors in Tontitown, Arkansas.”
They have also requested “the name, address and telephone number of each alibi witness on whom the Defendant intends to rely.”
The court requests followed Josh’s motion to have the case dismissed, which was denied by the judge.
The TLC star appeared in court in September as he filed a motion to dismiss the case because the government allegedly failed to “preserve potentially exculpatory evidence,” which is evidence favorable to a defendant that could exonerate him of the crime.
ANNA’S HOPE
Josh’s wife has been pregnant throughout the entire scandal and has remained by her husband’s side in court.
The Sun previously reported that Anna is “convinced he will soon be free and able to raise his kids.”
The Arkansas native has been on home confinement until his trial and is living with third-party custodians LaCount and Maria Reber, who are longtime friends of Jim Bob and Michelle.
SLAMMED FOR SMILING
Anna previously faced backlash from fans when she was spotted “smirking” at her spouse as she left the court in late September.
Cameras caught the couple for the first time since Josh’s arrest, as they exited the hearing looking cheerful.
The reality stars shared a sly smile as they greeted the press outside the building.
Fans reshared the clip to Reddit as they roasted the couple as “disgusting” and “creepy.”
“The adoring gaze…even when your husband is on trial for CSA images…” one wrote, alongside the screenshot.
“What the f**k! He is such a creep, I hope he rots in prison,” another scathed.
A third roasted: “WFT on those smiles? At least try to look like you give a f**k about any of this. Anna just lost any benefit of the doubt I had left for her. This is disgusting.”
“I hope they both rot in hell,” another put simply while a final reasoned: “I don’t understand what image they are trying to convey with the smiling.
“Either you have committed a horrible crime, and the right look would be repentant,” they surmised.
“Or you have been falsely accused of a horrible crime, and is that really something to smile about?
“Either way, looking like you think it’s some kind of joke is a bad look,” the user explained.
