Long before news of his arrest, Kendra Duggar (née Caldwell) painted a warm picture of her life with Joseph Duggar, who rose to reality TV fame alongside his family. Viewers got to know the Duggars on their now-defunct series 19 Kids and Counting, which premiered on TLC back in 2008, and gave an inside look at Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar's conservative Christian household. The couple began courting in March 2017 and got engaged within four months. Kendra and Joseph exchanged vows in September 2017. At the time of their nuptials, Joseph was 22 years old and Kendra was 19 years old.
