Better together! Jill Duggar couldn’t pass up the chance to spend time with sisters Joy-Anna and Jessa Duggar to celebrate her milestone 30th birthday.

“Had a lovely belated birthday lunch with some of my fam at one of our favorite places!” Jill captioned an Instagram Story snap on Thursday, May 27, tagging Joy-Anna, 23, and Jessa, 28, in the sweet shot. “Missed you @janamduggar.”

Joy-Anna shared the same photo on her own Instagram Story, writing, “Love you @jillmdillard Happy belated birthday!”

Jill and her siblings rose to prominence after their family’s reality series 19 Kids and Counting (originally 17 Kids and Counting) premiered on TLC in 2008. The show ran for 10 seasons before it was canceled by the network amid Josh Duggar‘s 2015 cheating scandal. Later that year, Jill, Jessa, Joy-Anna and Jinger Duggar and more of the family members returned for a spinoff series titled Counting On.

After six seasons, Jill and her husband, Derick Dillard, left Counting On. The couple shared more insight into their decision in a September 2020 YouTube video, claiming, “Up until around the time we left the show, we hadn’t been paid for anything.” In a separate vlog, the pair said that they wanted more freedom to make their own decisions for themselves and sons Israel, 6, and Samuel, 3.

“We found out we didn’t have as much control over our lives as it related to the show and stuff, as we needed,” Jill said in October 2020. “We had to make a decision at that time to kind of put the show aside … to pursue our own goals and everything. That’s when we made that decision. … There’s been some distancing there.”

She continued, “It was a really difficult decision but something we knew that we really needed to do for our family. We don’t regret leaving the show.”

The Growing Up Duggar coauthor later opened up about where she stands with her extended family today, telling Us Weekly exclusively in February that there’s still “a little bit of drama” between them since her departure from the series.

“We were ready to leave and felt strongly about leaving. … There are definitely some issues there,” she added. “We definitely feel like we’re in a healthy place now for our family and have control over our lives. … Certain people are more supportive than others. I think it ebbs and flows with a family of that size. Every family has drama and so when you’ve got that many more people giving opinions or whatever, it can get crazy.”

The following month, the Arkansas native revealed that she hasn’t been to her childhood home — a.k.a. the “big house” — in several years, “other than once to grab some mail.”

Dillard, 32, noted in the March YouTube video, “There’s a lot of triggers [there].”

Jill agreed, adding, “We [also] feel like in this season of life we have to prioritize our mental and emotional health, and our threshold is a little bit lower. … We’d like for it not to stay that way but that’s where we are now.”

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
