Dakota Johnson’s Go-To Nike Sneakers Are Still on Amazon
Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!
Dakota Johnson is working on her fitness and serving looks while doing so. The actress was recently spotted leaving the Tracy Anderson Method Gym in Studio City, and while her toned abs were peeking over a pair of high-waisted black leggings, it was the fresh pair of Nike sneakers on her feet that caught our attention.
Johnson styled the sporty kicks with calf-length crew socks, a white sports bra and a black t-shirt over her shoulders. Such a neutral color palette would normally have rendered her inconspicuous, but the blue-and-white Nike V2K running sneakers added a vibrant pop of color to the gym fit.
If the pair piqued your interest, we have good news and bad news: Unfortunately, the eye-catching hue Johnson is seen sporting is highly coveted; it’s almost completely sold out everywhere we’ve searched. However, you can still get the exact Nike sneaker on Amazon. There are over 20 variations of the style currently available, but be warned that sizes are selling out fast.
Get the Nike V2K running sneakers for $119 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
The White/White-Platinum Tint colorway is our favorite after Johnson’s bold blue. We love a statement shoe, but a classic black-and-white sneaker will go with everything in your workout wardrobe, not to mention your everyday attire outside the gym, too. However, if you want to follow in Johnson’s shoes (pun fully intended) and opt for something that will stand out, the Sanddrift/Pink Foam and Platinum Violet/Chrome-purple hues are guaranteed conversation starters.
In fact, the conversation surrounding the Nike V2K running sneaker has already started amongst reviewers. One five-star reviewer raved, “[I] love that they’re trendy to wear with more casual or sporty outfits, but also perfect for the gym,” adding that the traction on the bottom “is great” and that they “love the body style.”
Another reviewer felt so passionately, they wrote in all caps, “SO CUTE BUYYYYYY IT.”
Johnson’s Nike running sneakers are selling out fast, so if you’re even entertaining the purchase, we wouldn’t hesitate to add your favorite pair to your cart ASAP.

Joy-Anna Duggar’s Husband Sent Joseph a Letter of Support
Joy-Anna Duggar‘s husband, Austin Forsyth, sent his brother-in-law Joseph Duggar a supportive letter following Joseph’s child molestation arrest.
“I want you to know that I love you,” Austin, 32, wrote in emails obtained by Us Weekly during Joseph’s stay in Arkansas’ Washington County Detention Center. “Jesus loves you, and continues to draw you closer to Him.”
Joseph, 31, was arrested on March 18 on charges of lewd and lascivious behavior, molesting a victim under 12 and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person over 18. He has pleaded not guilty.
A 14-year-old victim came forward to Arkansas police with allegations that Joseph, 31, molested her when she was 9 years old during a vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida, in 2020.
Four additional counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, second degree, and four counts of second degree false imprisonment were levied against Joseph and his wife, Kendra Duggar, over completely separate allegations in Arkansas.
In his email to Joseph, Austin insisted that he was not prepared to discuss the details of his brother-in-law’s legal case.
“I don’t want to discuss your issues over these communications. You need to only be talking to your attorney,” Austin wrote to Joseph. “Please know that God works despite the sin of man for his good.”
He continued, “I am praising God that we started getting closer to you guys within the last year and a half. He knew that Kendra was going to need help. We will, and are helping her!”
Austin’s wife, Joy-Anna, initially broke her silence about her brother’s arrest on March 26.

“What has come out about my brother is heartbreaking and deeply disturbing,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “My heart is with the victim, and I am grieved by the pain and harm caused.”
Joy-Anna, 28, added, “I have been a wreck this week and am taking time to process … Thank you for your prayers.”
Austin is not the only member of the Duggar family to reach out to Joseph behind bars. Joseph has discussed his prison workout routine and potential legal strategies with his wife, Kendra, in multiple phone calls released in recent weeks.
Joseph also received supportive emails from his older brother Josh Duggar’s wife, Anna Duggar. Josh, 38, is currently serving a 151-month prison sentence for receiving and possessing child pornography in 2022. (Josh maintains his innocence.)
“You’ve got our prayers. We love you — however we can help, please let us know,” Anna, 37, wrote to Joseph on March 21. “I think I put some money on your books. I don’t remember how phone calls and video calls work.”
She went on, “Please let me know if I can help get things set up so you can call and talk with Kendra. Just remember, don’t talk about anything legal unless you are with an attorney. Everything said in these messages, phone calls and video chats are recorded and turned over to prosecutors.”
Joseph was extradited from the Washington County Detention Center in Arkansas to Florida’s Bay County Jail on March 31 ahead of his upcoming trial.

Fans React To Kim Kardashian And Lewis Hamilton Hard Launch
Fans are divided after Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton appeared to confirm their romance in dramatic fashion.
A high-speed Tokyo drive posted online quickly turned into a viral talking point, with supporters cheering the unexpected pairing while critics questioned it.
The flashy reveal fueled speculation, sparked heated comments, and pushed their rumored relationship firmly into the spotlight overnight for fans.
High-Speed Video Sparks Immediate Buzz
The buzz began when Lewis Hamilton shared an Instagram Reel filmed in Tokyo. The Formula 1 icon was seen maneuvering a Ferrari F40 through the Daikoku Parking Area, creating a dramatic, cinematic moment that quickly grabbed attention online.
The clip was set to “Victory Lap” by Skepta, PlaqueboyMax and Fred Again, adding to the adrenaline-filled presentation.
Hamilton captioned the post, “HERE WE GO AGAIN 🇯🇵 TOKYO DRIFT VOL. III,” teasing another installment in his Tokyo driving series.
As the video progressed, viewers noticed something unexpected. Toward the end, Kim Kardashian appeared in the passenger seat, dressed in a white turtleneck, reacting to the experience.
After the high-speed ride, she could be heard saying, “That’s insane,” capturing her excitement in real time.
Her brief appearance was enough to spark speculation. The reality star also liked Hamilton’s post, further fueling the idea that the two had decided to go public with their relationship.
Within minutes, fans flooded the comment section, dissecting the moment and debating whether it marked a definitive hard launch.
Fans React To Kim Kardashian And Lewis Hamilton Reveal

The reaction online was immediate and intense. Many viewers interpreted the video as confirmation of the rumored romance, with comments pouring in from fans surprised by the pairing.
One fan wrote, “Don’t know what’s harder, the drifts or the hard launch.” Another commented, “…definitely a hard launch ,” while a third person added, “AYOO I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT HARD LAUNCH.” A fourth fan joked, “Kim at the end was not on my bingo card.”
Not everyone was enthusiastic, however. Some fans expressed disappointment, questioning the match.
One person wrote, “Nooooooo not Kim K.,” while another added, “What ending? I closed my eyes and pretend I don’t see it.”
Others echoed similar sentiments, with one fan stating, “It was awesome until the end.”
The mix of reactions highlighted just how polarizing the apparent relationship reveal had become.
While some celebrated the unexpected pairing, others seemed reluctant to embrace it, creating a split across social media.
Kim Kardashian Romance Faces Family Speculation

Another fan offered advice directly to Lewis Hamilton, with one writing, “Lewis, I love you, BUT PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER.”
The fan’s comment seemingly stemmed from reports suggesting that not everyone close to Hamilton was fully convinced of him and Kardashian’s relationship.
According to In Touch, his mother, Carmen Larbalestier, allegedly had reservations. A source told the outlet, “From Carmen’s perspective, the Kardashian lifestyle isn’t something that really meshes with her son’s personality long-term.”
The insider added, “She feels he’d be better off partnered with someone that’s much more low-key and private.”
Despite skepticism, there were plenty of supportive comments as well. Some viewers embraced the pairing wholeheartedly.
One fan wrote, “We are for these two.” Another shared, “TWO LEGEND IS BETTER THAN ONE.” A third commenter playfully added, “Keeping Up With The Hamiltons.”
The divided responses showed how the relationship announcement resonated differently across audiences.
Kim Kardashian And Lewis Hamilton’s Tokyo Getaway

The Tokyo appearance didn’t happen in isolation. Reports previously indicated the pair had been spending time together during a trip to Japan.
Late last month, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that they were vacationing in Tokyo alongside Kardashian’s children Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, as well as daughter North.
The trip also included Khloé Kardashian and her children, True and Tatum, according to the insider.
Another source described Hamilton positively, saying he is “an easygoing guy with great energy,” and noting that the reality TV star’s “family likes him.”
The same insider added, “Kim’s very into him,” before explaining, “They are both busy with their careers, but see each other as much as possible. It’s more than just a casual connection. It takes a lot to capture Kim’s interest and she’s definitely intrigued.”
How Hamilton And Kardashian’s Relationship Rumors Began

Speculation about the pair had been building for weeks. In March, Lewis Hamilton left a flirty comment featuring a heart eyes emoji on Kim Kardashian’s Instagram post from an Oscar party, sparking curiosity among fans.
Soon after, reports placed them together in Paris in early February. “It was a romantic meetup,” a source told PEOPLE at the time, describing the encounter.
Their travels continued, with the rumored couple later spotted at Lake Powell in Arizona in early March.
Photos showed them walking together during sunset, while both shared scenic footage from the trip on social media. Though the posts avoided showing each other directly, the matching backgrounds and timing fueled speculation.
Now, with the Tokyo drive going viral, many fans believe the pair has finally stepped into the spotlight together.
Whether the Ferrari moment was a calculated reveal or simply a spontaneous appearance, it has undeniably sparked conversation.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s $261M Franchise Failure That Only Made 1.5x Its Budget Redeems Itself on Streaming
The legacy of the Terminator franchise is long and turbulent. Made by James Cameron in 1984, the original movie, starring Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger, became the cornerstone for the sci-fi action genre, blending high-octane thrills with futuristic tech. Cameron’s direction, coupled with intriguing performances and action spectacle, blew the minds of fans around the world. The second feature, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, was similarly appreciated by fans and critics. It further pushed the genre forward with its tech-noir feel and groundbreaking visual effects. The impact of T2 was so great that the industry started heavily featuring Computer-Generated Imagery. Both movies earned cult classic status with their dialogue frequently quoted among fans.
However, what followed was a low phase for the franchise, where it struggled to find its tone with films like Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Terminator Salvation. The movies failed to impress the audience. Nonetheless, the makers tried to revive the franchise again with Terminator Genisys and Terminator: Dark Fate, while the former felt narratively redundant, the latter brought back original stars Hamilton and Schwarzenegger and ignored all the movies in between.
Though it failed to impress with its box office gross and was largely neglected by fans, it is now redeeming itself on streaming. Terminator: Dark Fate is quickly climbing Paramount+’s top 10 list. It stands at the fourth spot on the domestic charts at the time of writing, among films like Primate, The Running Man, An Unfinished Life, and more. The Schwarzenegger-led feature arrived at the start of the month on the streamer and has instantly made its way to the charts, proving fans’ love for the franchise.
What’s ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ About?
Set 25 years after the events of Judgement Day, where Sarah Connor changed the future, and re-wrote the fate of the human race. We follow Dani Ramos, who is living a simple life in Mexico City with her brother and father, when a highly advanced and deadly new Terminator – a Rev-9 – travels back through time to hunt and kill her. As the Rev-9 ruthlessly destroys everything and everyone in its path on the hunt for Dani, she and her protectors are led to a T-800 from Sarah’s past that may be their last best hope.
Along with Hamilton and Schwarzenegger reprising their roles as Sarah Connor and the Terminator, respectively, the film also features Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, and Gabriel Luna. The film divided fans but was mostly well recieved, as seen in its Rotten Tomatoes rating: 70% from critics and 82% from audiences. Made on a $196 million budget, it grossed only $261.1 million worldwide, quashing all the hopes for any sequels.
Meanwhile, you can check out Dark Fate and other movies in the Terminator franchise on Paramount+.

Dax Shepard Reacts To Wife’s Viral Anniversary Post
Dax Shepard is weighing in several months after Kristen Bell‘s anniversary post in October 2025 sparked widespread attention online. The actor and podcast host talked about the viral post with comedian Nikki Glaser, sharing that he wasn’t aware there was such a strong reaction to his wife’s message.
Kristen Bell Faced Backlash Following A Post Honoring Dax Shepard

In October 2025, Bell took to social media to celebrate her husband for their 12th wedding anniversary, adding that Shepard once said after they watched “Dateline,” “I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I’m heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would.”
As The Blast previously reported, online users criticized the actress, calling her out for being “insensitive” and “tasteless,” especially since October was Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Some also commented on the couple’s relationship, saying the actress needed protection from her “red flag” husband.
Shepard is now speaking out about the backlash in an episode of his podcast “Armchair Expert” with his co-host Monica Padman and their guest, Nikki Glaser. Shepard said, “Don’t insult my wife. She doesn’t need your protection. You don’t need to diminish her.”
Nikki Glaser Wanted To Make A Joke About The Post

“My wife has total f-cking autonomy and is a gangster. So when you say that you need to come in and protect her, it’s actually offensive to her,” Shepard said, referring to the people who criticized Bell.
Glaser, who hosted the Golden Globes for the second year in a row in January, said she initially wanted to joke about the Shepard-Bell controversy but ultimately decided not to, as it was “old news” by then. Moreover, she didn’t want to do it since she and Shepard were friends, and she didn’t know how he would take it.
The comedian then shared the joke, saying,” ‘Die My Love. ‘If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.’ ‘Sorry, Baby.’ These are not just captions to Dax Shepard’s Instagram post for Mother’s Day, or for Christmas, or captions for his anniversary post. These are movies nominated tonight,” which made the host laugh.
Dax Shepard Wasn’t Aware Of The Backlash

Glaser said she didn’t reach out to Shepard after the controversy, since she wasn’t sure he was even aware of the issue. Shepard then said that he wasn’t aware of all the online backlash that was happening, saying, “I had no clue.”
He said Bell was aware of the situation because of her publicist, but they didn’t inform him. For more than a week, he was oblivious that there was an uproar over Bell’s anniversary post. He only learned about it when someone “comforted” him, and he had no idea what the person was talking about.
Glaser shared that what bothered her about the situation was how people online were so invested in the post when there were bigger issues in the world. “This is what you’re talking about right now, of all things? You f-cking losers. You’re wasting your time getting angry about this. Go read some files,” she said.
Kristen Bell Didn’t Address The Controversy

Following the criticism, Bell restricted the comments on her post when the backlash intensified. She also skipped a scheduled appearance on the “TODAY” show shortly after, with sources claiming that it was because of the intense scrutiny. However, she later appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” where she promoted her show, but she didn’t address the controversy.
Domestic violence advocates urged the actress to issue an apology, as reported by The Blast, as her post was insensitive to victims, even if veiled in humor. A public relations expert also said Bell’s silence was “brutally ugly” and advised the actress to apologize and take accountability. Despite several calls for action, Bell didn’t directly respond to the criticism.
Dax Shepard And Kristen Bell Have Been Called Out For Other Statements

Shepard and Bell are known for their honesty when it comes to sharing about their personal lives, but the anniversary post wasn’t the first time they’ve been caught in the public’s crosshairs.
Amid the backlash, a video of Shepard from 2012 resurfaced, where he joked about “hitting” his wife after she commented on a car he fixed.
In 2021, the couple went viral for saying that they don’t bathe their children until they could “smell the stink,” saying they were conserving water. Bell also said they allowed their kids to drink non-alcoholic beer.
In 2024, Bell was criticized for saying that she and Shepard let their kids roam free for several hours in a theme park while they stayed at a hotel.

Jessica Lange Returns To Haunt ‘American Horror Story’
Jessica Lange is making a surprising return to “American Horror Story” after previously saying she has no plans to come back. The acclaimed actress, who has appeared in multiple seasons of the Ryan Murphy horror anthology, will once again join the show alongside series regulars and newcomers for the 13th season.
‘American Horror Story’ Teases Jessica Lange’s Return
On April 6, “American Horror Story” showrunner Ryan Murphy shared a first look at the show’s 13th season, which had just begun filming. The three photos on the Instagram carousel showed a woman with her back turned, staring out a window. “American Horror Story, Season 13. Day One. The return of Jessica Lange!” the caption read.
Little is known about the upcoming season 13, but many are speculating based on the characters returning that it will be a continuation of season 3’s “Coven,” while others assume it’s a sequel to season 1’s “Murder House.” Murphy seemingly confirmed one of the guesses was correct when he replied, “Done” to a fan comment requesting a “Coven extension,” more specifically asking to have Marie Laveau back, the character Angela Bassett portrayed in “Coven.”
Fans Are Ecstatic About Jessica Lange’s Comeback

Lange’s return is a welcome surprise, as she hasn’t appeared in “American Horror Story” since a guest appearance on season 8’s “Apocalypse” in 2018, despite being one of the series’ most beloved actresses.
“We’re finally getting that OG vibe back,” one wrote. “THE reason to watch,” another fan added. “Yes!!! I stopped watching when she stopped coming out in the show,” another wrote.
Others couldn’t believe the news and expressed their excitement over Lange’s return, with one writing, “THE QUEEN IS FINALLY BACK!” and another commenting, “About f-cking time!” One user thanked the showrunner for making it happen, saying, “THANK YOU RYAN.”
The Actress’s History In The Horror Anthology
“American Horror Story” is an anthology series, with each season focusing on a different story with largely the same cast playing different roles.
In season 1, “Murder House,” she portrayed the role of Constance Langdon, a wealthy and eccentric woman with a dark family history. She returned in season 2, “Asylum,” wherein she played Sister Jude Martin, a strict nun who ran an insane asylum.
Lange was the Supreme Witch in season 3, “Coven,” a powerful witch who struggled with mortality and had questionable morals. In season 4, “Freak Show,” the actress returned to play Elsa Mars, the owner of a struggling circus who was in charge of a group of performers with physical quirks.
Lange departed after season 4, returning for a brief cameo appearance as Constance Langdon for season 8 titled “Apocalypse.”
Why Did Jessica Lange Leave ‘American Horror Story’?
In 2015, Lange confirmed that she was done with “American Horror Story.” The actress said she loved portraying different characters in four seasons, but “there’s always an end to everything.”
Lange revealed to Deadline that she initially only signed up for one season, but she enjoyed it so much that she agreed to do three more. “The fact of the matter is, what kept me coming back were the characters. I mean, they wrote such characters for me – so diverse and wild,” the actress said. Ultimately, she left to pursue other projects, and she felt she had done her best on the show after four seasons.
In 2025, Lange was asked whether she was returning, to which she replied, “Oh, Christ no. I haven’t done it for more than 10 years, 12 years. So, no. I’m not doing it.
Inside ‘American Horror Story’ Season 13
Production is officially underway for “American Horror Story” season 13, but details about the storyline or theme have been kept under wraps. A teaser announcing the cast for the new season ended with the words, “Surprise, b-tch. I bet you thought you’d seen the last of me,” a quote from the “Coven” character Madison Montgomery.
Returning cast members include Lange, Sarah Paulson, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, Leslie Grossman, and Evan Peters. Joining them is newcomer Ariana Grande, who had previously worked with Murphy on “Scream Queens.”
“American Horror Story” season 13 is expected to premiere in time for Halloween 2026.

Rege-Jean Page Jokingly Shade’s Bridgerton’s Mistress Twist
Just because Regé-Jean Page isn’t on Bridgerton anymore doesn’t mean he isn’t up to date with the show’s biggest story lives — and more divisive twists.
“I check in every now and then [on Bridgerton] because I have a lot of friends there and people I love, and they do wonderful work,” Page, 38, told DuJour on Monday, April 6.
He quipped: “I’m not fully up to date, but I know enough not to be running around asking anyone to be my mistress any time soon.”
The mistress mention was in reference to season 4 of the hit Netflix series where Benedict (Luke Thompson) received backlash for initially making a commitment to love interest Sophie (Yerin Ha) by asking her to be with him in secret.
Page, for his part, hasn’t been on Bridgerton since it premiered in 2020. Bridgerton, which is based on the book series written by Julia Quinn, follows the members of the wealthy Bridgerton family as they search for love in 19th century London. Season 1 focused on Daphne’s (Phoebe Dynevor) unexpected connection with Simon.
After the show premiered, viewers fell in love with Page and his character, which made his departure that much more shocking. Netflix announced in April 2021 that Page would not be reprising his role as the Duke of Hastings despite plans for Daphne to appear in future seasons.

Page stood by his decision even though fans have publicly voiced their disappointment about not getting to see more of Simon’s story. While season 2 still featured several appearances from Daphne, Dynevor, 30, later confirmed her own exit from the series, which didn’t appear to be her choice.
More recently, Page attended Essence’s Black Women in Hollywood event last month where red carpet host Leah Henry asked him about how “a lot of people” on the internet have expressed interest in having his character Simon back on Bridgerton.
“Is there a chance you would ever return?” she asked, to which Page replied, “You know, it’s funny you say that, because I’m not on the internet.”
Henry doubled down by pointing out that fans “need” Page back. “I’m gonna have to take your word for it,” he replied.
After Henry tried one last time to ask if viewers will “see” him again, Page thanked the reporter for the interview and swiftly moved onto the next journalist on the red carpet. The awkward red carpet moment came after Bridgerton showrunner Jess Brownell addressed concerns that Simon could return — with a different actor in the role.
“We are not interested in recasting the characters,” Brownell told Variety in February. “I think it would feel like a disservice to everything Regé and Phoebe [Dynevor] set up in season 1, and all the beautiful work they put into those characters.”
Brownell didn’t rule out an onscreen return for them.
“We would love to potentially have them back at some point, but I think, logistically, we want to make sure we bring them back when we have something really meaty for them,” she continued. “And to have them come back to say a line at a funeral [in season 4] and just prove that they were there, it wouldn’t feel right for many reasons.”
She concluded: “So I think in my mind, the camera doesn’t capture everything. They’re hypothetically there [this season] — it’s television. But we would love to find a time to bring everyone back at some point in the future.”
Bridgerton is currently streaming on Netflix.

Anna Duggar Faces Pressure To Leave Josh
Anna Duggar’s life has been under intense scrutiny ever since her husband, Josh Duggar, was convicted in a case that shocked fans of the once-famous reality TV family.
While the scandal upended her seemingly stable life, Anna has remained by his side, even as those closest to her continue to question that decision.
Behind the scenes, family members have reportedly been urging her to move on, while she focuses on raising her seven children and quietly rebuilding her life.
Anna Duggar Urged By Family To Leave Josh Duggar After Conviction
Anna Duggar has reportedly been facing increasing pressure from her family to walk away from Josh Duggar following his conviction.
According to a source, several relatives have openly encouraged her to reconsider her loyalty.
“Anna has several family members who have strongly encouraged her to leave Josh. It’s been very difficult to have those conversations because Anna has been so supportive of Josh, but the family felt that they had to let her know their thoughts” the insider exclusively told Us Weekly.
Despite their concerns, her loved ones are trying to maintain a careful balance.
They reportedly want to keep their relationship with her intact while still being honest about their views.
The situation has not been easy, especially given how deeply the scandal has affected her life.
The source described the aftermath as something she will be dealing with for years, adding that “The only positive thing right now is that he is out of the picture [while in jail].”
Anna Focuses On The Children While Josh Serves Prison Sentence
As Josh Duggar serves a sentence of more than 12 years, Anna Duggar has shifted her attention toward her children.
The couple shares seven kids, Mackynzie, Michael, Marcus, Meredith, Mason, Maryella, and Madyson, who remain at the center of her daily life.
Sources previously emphasized that her role as a mother has not changed, noting that her children are her top priority. She continues to care for them full-time while standing by Josh despite his incarceration.
Josh was arrested in April 2021 for receiving and possessing child pornography and was later found guilty that December.
In May 2022, he was sentenced to 151 months in prison and is expected to remain behind bars until December 2032.
Although he has maintained his innocence, the conviction brought an abrupt end to the family’s former lifestyle.
The couple, who married in 2008, had built what appeared to be a stable life before everything unraveled in 2021, just months before the birth of their seventh child.
Anna Duggar Builds Independence Away From Josh Duggar And His Family
In the years since the conviction, Anna has reportedly begun carving out a more independent life.
Once living on the Duggar family compound, she is no longer residing there and has started creating her own space.
The insider explained that she “has worked very, very hard to get to where she is right now,” highlighting her efforts to move forward.
She has also been described as “becoming independent and gaining strength” as she distances herself from the broader Duggar family.
Part of that shift includes maintaining a lower public profile. Unlike many of her in-laws, Anna does not run a personal social media account, which has helped her avoid constant scrutiny.
However, she occasionally shares updates through her business page, Golden Grove Pups.
In one recent post, she introduced three puppies, writing, “Meet Whitaker, Beaumont, and Harrington — three of our handsome little golden guys,” offering a rare glimpse into her day-to-day life.
Anna Breaks Silence Indirectly Amid Josh Duggar’s Ongoing Legal Fallout

While Anna has largely stayed quiet publicly, glimpses into her mindset have surfaced through private communications.
Emails she sent to her brother-in-law, Joseph Duggar, following his own legal troubles, revealed how she has been navigating the broader family situation.
In one message obtained by PEOPLE, she expressed support, writing, “You’ve got our prayers. We love you — however we can help, please let us know.”
At the same time, she cautioned him about speaking freely, advising, “Just remember, don’t talk about anything legal unless you are with an attorney.”
Joseph was arrested in March 2026 in Arkansas, following an investigation by Florida regarding child molestation incidents that allegedly took place in 2020 during a family vacation in Florida.
He was later extradited to Florida, where he pleaded not guilty to charges and was released on a $600,000 bond.
Amy Duggar Slams Cousin Josh Duggar, Says He Can’t Be Fixed

Meanwhile, Amy Duggar has spoken candidly about her cousin Josh Duggar, insisting he could not be “rehabilitated from such sick stuff” following his conviction.
As The Blast reported, Amy made it clear that she believed his behavior pointed to deeper issues, warning that he would “always have those sick urges” and expressing fear about his eventual release.
She also criticized members of the Duggar family for remaining silent over the years, arguing that ignoring the situation only allowed the behavior to continue.
In her view, the pattern of abuse within the family reflected a broader toxic environment, and she firmly stated she would never allow Josh near her child.
