Rumors were rife that Anna was prepared to sever totally any and all relations to estranged husband Josh Duggar of the defunct reality TV show 19 Kids and Counting. But recent pictures of a smiling Anna in the company of her in-laws, the Duggar family, are bound to silence all wagging tongues on Josh and Anna's impending divorce.

Pictures uploaded to the Dillard family's personal website show that Anna isn't as frosty with her in-laws as the public thinks she is, following Josh's emergency entrance into rehab for his sexual problems.

Earlier, it was reported that Anna was seriously considering divorce after she fled her Arkansas home and hid safely in the company of the Keller family. Her brother, Daniel Keller, was very vocal in recent weeks about his desire to see his sister permanently wrenched away from the Duggar sex offender.

However, it now seems that Anna may be more steadfast than people think. The website pictures show the 19 Kids and Counting Duggar family rallying together to give emotional support to Jill and her husband Derrick as they prepare to return once more to Central America to pursue their ministry work. The page details how the Dillards are busy learning Spanish at a language school and that they may not return to the States for a good while yet. A smiling Anna can be seen posing in the company of the Duggars and the rest of the 19 Kids and Counting family.

The rare and cheery appearance may come as a shock to many who believe that Anna was silently brooding after her erring husband's ways and is close to throwing in the towel about her marriage. Anna received the greatest amount of sympathy and support from the public who made their unbridled sentiments known on social media. In one post on Jessa Seewald's Facebook page, some netizens left comments indicating their support of the 19 Kids and Counting star.

Meanwhile, the Inquisitr reports that Anna has known Josh's unsavory past early in their marriage, if not before getting married. In a timeline that describes a series of chronological events starting with Josh's sexual experiments with his kid sisters and three other unidentified female children, it is clear that Michelle and Jim Bob were well acquainted with their son's sexual exploits and deferred calling the police.

The timeline also indicates that Josh had come clean with Anna about "earlier mistakes" during their courtship stage. This may explain the reason Anna is ready to forgive the bombastic claims about Josh's teenage past. Is she willing to forgive his adulterous affairs as well?
