For the first time since coming out of rehab, controversial reality TV star Josh Duggar was spotted with his wife Anna as they went on a furniture shopping trip in Arkansas last weekend. As noted by various sources, this indicates that their marriage is still stable despite everything that happened.

Josh came out of a faith-based rehab earlier this year after being involved in a series of scandals such as porn addiction and allegations of molestation.

The controversies eventually led to the cancellation of "19 Kids and Counting," a reality show Josh starred along with the rest of the Duggar clan. But, aside from the show, the issues also had an effect on his family.

After the allegations had come out, rumors started to emerge that Josh's wife Anna was considering leaving him. Some sources even suggested that her family was encouraging her to get a divorce to distance herself from the Duggars.

But, despite all the rumors, Anna maintained that she still loves her husband and will always stay by his side to support him. This was clearly shown when the two were spotted last Saturday at Sam's Furniture in Springdale, Arkansas, ET Online reported.

According to sources, the two were with Anna's sister Priscilla Waller and her husband David. Although it appeared that they weren't shopping for themselves, Josh and Anna looked very comfortable with one another.

The sources who saw the couple, however, did not say anything about Anna's rumored baby bump, which has also been the center of speculations for weeks now. These rumors started after a photo of Anna was posted on the Duggars' official website. In the picture, Anna was wearing a very loose top, which some people believe was meant to cover up her pregnancy, according to Ecumenical NewsAnna has not yet offered a statement to clarify the matter, yet if rumors are true, fans will probably know about it through the "19 Kids and Counting" spinoff "Jill and Jessa: Counting On" since Anna makes regular appearances on the show.
