Which Member of the Duggar Family Has the Most Instagram Followers?
Love them or loathe them, there’s no denying that a lot of people are interested in the Duggars. The big family at the heart of TLC’s Counting On (and its predecessor 19 Kids and Counting) has occupied TV screens in one form or another since 2004, when their first special aired: 14 Children and Pregnant Again!
Sixteen years (and a few more kids) later, the Duggars are still at it. Season 11 of Counting On premiered July 7. The current season focuses on how the family handles the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo’s new life in California, and the arrival of more Duggar grandchildren. But the Duggars aren’t just known for their reality show. They’ve also embraced social media, with many members of the family boasting an impressive number of followers. But who’s most popular?
