Jill Duggar and husband Derick Dillard attend her brother Justin’s wedding despite ongoing feud with famous family
JILL Duggar and her husband, Derick Dillard, attended her brother Justin’s wedding despite an ongoing family feud.
Though things have been tense since the Counting On star claimed she was “abused” as she distances herself from her parents, she went to support her sibling at yesterday’s nuptials.

The 29-year-old took a mirror selfie with her husband – who rocked a man bun – as they both stayed safe with face masks.
Jill looked pretty in a mauve colored lace dress as Derick sported a black suit with a striped tie.
The TLC star congratulated her brother and his new bride, Claire, in the caption.
She then added: “Derick & I got to make a quick date trip to the wedding!
“The boys had fun playing with Mima while our new puppy played with some new friends.”

Yesterday, Justin, 18, and Claire Spivey, 19, confirmed they are now married by posting a photo from their wedding in Texas on Instagram.
Despite recent family drama, plenty of members responded to the good news as Joy-Anna Duggar wrote in the comments section: “It was such a gorgeous wedding! Love you both very much and am SO happy for you guys!”
Anna Duggar – who fans suspect is pregnant – also wrote: “Such a lovely wedding! Thrilled for you both!
Justin’s parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, also wrote, “Justin and Claire said ‘I do!”
The news comes shortly after The Sun reported that the couple were set to wed this week.

An insider revealed that the loved-up teens, who initially listed the date as being in April on their online registry, would say ‘I do’ in an “indoor/outdoor ceremony” in Azle – just west of Fort Worth, TX.
The source added that “nobody will be forced to wear a mask” at the wedding and guests will be free to mingle at the romantic venue despite the global pandemic.
Jill and her husband have distanced themselves from the show and the fundamentalist family in recent years.
Derick, 31, has been supportive of his wife as she has chosen to set strict boundaries from her family.
After a fan took to Instagram to claim that Jill, 29, had been “mentally and emotionally abused,” the father of two appeared to show his agreement by liking the post.

“Gee. I have no idea,” the fan wrote in an alleged post that was captured by the account Without A Crystal Ball.
“Maybe because she is a sexual assault survivor and she’s finally found her voice,” they claimed.”
Because she was mentally and emotionally abused her whole life and brainwashed using god.
“That’s my thoughts…good for Jill. Air that s**t out girl…you deserve to be heard!” they shared.
Derick seemed to agree with the disgruntled fan, as he gave the comment a “like” on the platform.
