Jinger Duggar, Jeremy Vuolo Detail “Reopened Wounds” After Brother Joseph Duggar’s Arrest
Joy-Anna Duggar is not focused on the age difference between her and husband Austin Forsyth.
The 19 Kids and Counting couple has a four-year age gap, having married when Joy-Anna was 19 and Forsyth was 23, during a televised wedding in 2017. However, the 28-year-old recently shared that her feelings for her future husband developed much earlier.
“We actually met when we were really young,” Joy-Anna revealed to sister Jinger Duggar Vuolo on an Aug. 19 episode of the Jinger & Jeremy Podcast, noting, “I was 4, and he was 8 when they moved up from Texas.”
Nonetheless, their love story took time to unfold after the 32-year-old’s family changed churches.
“His family visited wherever we were having church,” Joy-Anna explained. “Then they went to a different church, and we didn’t see each other very often.”
However, Austin’s passion for sports—a common interest with his wife’s brothers Josh, 38, John-David, 36, Joseph, 31, and Josiah, 29—ultimately reunited them.
As Joy-Anna recounted, “He got his driver’s license and started playing football and broom ball with the boys,” adding that soon after, “I was 14, he was 18 when I started crushing hard.”
