2. Jill Dillard pregnant?

Speculations about Jill Duggar-Dillard's second pregnancy have recently suffused the online world. In fact, the rumors started after Jill shared a snap of her husband Derick painting her toenails on Instagram, Design & Trend noted.

According to diehard Duggars fans, Jill posted a similar photo on Instagram before she revealed she was pregnant with their first child, Israel David Dillard. Unfortunately, if the fans have guessed Jill's second pregnancy right, her current Central American mission might pose a threat to their baby because of the mosquito-borne Zika virus.

Due to the virus, which has been linked with microcephaly in newborns, El Salvador has issued a two-year pregnancy ban.

3. No "19 Kids and Counting" reboot?

It has been widely reported that the Duggars' reality show on TLC will be having a reboot. However, the family denied the speculations through a written statement on the Duggar Family Blog, stating nothing has been confirmed yet.

Aside from the reboot, the family also cleared the issues regarding Danica Dillon and the reported payoff from the Duggars or the TLC network to dump her assault case against Josh.

"[Dillon] will bear her own costs and fees in this matter and that no one has or will pay her any money to resolve this matter," the statement read.

5. Jill Dillard and family living in S.O.S. Ministries Housing?

Jill Dillard has revealed that her family is living in S.O.S. Ministries Housing while they embark on their roles as full-time missionaries with the non-profit organization.
