Derick Dillard has helped Jill Duggar through a lot
Both Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard have been through a lot since tying the knot in June 2014.
A little less than a year after they were married, Josh Duggar’s 2015 back-to-back scandals broke. This included the revelation he touched several of his sisters (including Jill) a decade prior. Then, it was confirmed he was involved in the Ashley Madison scandal, where user accounts were leaked.
There was a lot of intensity thrown at the young married couple, with the pressure of filming the reality TV show. Jill was pushed to star in the spin-off with Jessa Duggar as they discussed what happened with Josh and how it affected them.
A lot has changed for Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard since they started their relationship. Marriage, welcoming two little boys, moving to a new house, and traveling has kept the last eight years busy and full.
