How Old Was Michelle Duggar When She Married Jim Bob?

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Michelle Duggar was a young teen when she first got married to Jim Bob Duggar. According to The Sun, Michelle was just 17 when she and Jim Bob tied the knot, which was three days after his 19th birthday back on July 21, 1984. And while the mother-of-19 is all about keeping up with her husband's rules, Michelle did have a secret past before she married Jim Bob. Apparently, the two future reality television stars got to first base before their wedding day, which is now a huge no-no in Jim Bob's book. But the temptation for Michelle was too strong for Jim Bob to resist back in the day. "We did not save our first kiss for our wedding day and we really regret that we didn't," Michelle admitted, per Us Weekly. "We really should have."

That, and Michelle apparently didn't have the same kind of modest dress code that her daughters are expected to wear these days. Her childhood neighbors "used to complain because she'd mow the lawn in a bikini and wear short skirts," the neighbor told Star. "They were always trying to get her to cover up her legs. And so were her parents." While there's no doubt that Michelle has dealt with a lot of changes in her life, a lot of people can't help but wonder how she feels today about Jim Bob, her family, and all of the drama in her life.
