But the families have been estranged since Derick accused Jim Bob of withholding money from his children over their years on TLC shows 19 Kids and Counting, and later Counting On.
Jill and Derick wed in 2014
JIll, 29, is the fourth child and the second daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle.
They first appeared on the family's TLC series before they quit in 2017.
The Duggars are devout independent Christian Baptists, who pride themselves on their conservative outlook. They follow strict guidelines in their day-to-day life, including no alcohol and no bare skin on show, and men and women are not allowed to be alone together unless married.
Kissing, hand-holding and other physical signs of affection are not allowed until a couple's wedding day, and all couples must have chaperones present on their dates.
Jim Bob and Michelle have 19 children
However, Jill and Derick have stopped following many of the family's strict beliefs, allowing their sons to attend public school, wearing more revealing clothing, drinking alcohol, and speaking out about birth control.
The pair tied the knot in 2014 and share sons Israel, five, and Samuel, three.
