Also referred to as Joy Duggar Forsyth, Joy-Anna Forsyth was born on October 28, 1997, into the family of Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar. While her father is a real estate agent and politician who also doubles as a reality TV star, her mother is just a mother to her kids and a television star.

Her Family

Among the many interesting things about Joy-Anna Forsyth, her family is probably the most interesting. At the same time, it is one of the most controversial families in the United States.

She is the 9th of the family’s 19 children and the fifth female. When her parents first got married in 1984, Jim and Michelle had no intention of having many children as they did not see themselves capable of providing for the kids. Because of this, they decided to use contraceptives but Michelle still got pregnant before suffering a miscarriage.

They were then told by their doctor that even with the pills, one could still get pregnant before later miscarrying it. Being Christians and regarding it as a sin, they prayed for forgiveness and decided never to use any contraceptives again. This became the result of their many kids including Joy-Anna.

When she was still a child, Joy-Anna attended a homeschooling conference where she met Austin Martyn Forsyth. At the time, she was only 5 while he was 8. She did not like him then but as they kept growing, she came to love him for his spirit of adventure.

It was until 2016 that they began dating. Months later, they got engaged and finally, they tied the knot in May 2017.

Only three months later, the two announced that they were expecting their first child together and then in 2018, their son, Gideon Martyn Forsyth was born. There were rumors in 2019 that Joy-Anna was pregnant with her second child, but there is still no confirmation to that.
