They faced a backlash online for "smirking" as they were met by waiting photographers outside of the building in Arkansas.

Fans re-shared  of the couple to  and branded them "disgusting" and "creepy."

A source has since told The Sun exclusively that Anna is "extremely confident" her husband will not be jailed - and hopes he will be able to be present at the birth of their seventh child in coming weeks.

"Anna is convinced Josh will be a free man soon and be able to raise their kids, she should be worried she's going to be alone with seven children, but she isn't," they said.

"She also doesn't seem to care what anyone says, or if people think she's crazy, Anna is standing by Josh.

"The family are so religious they are told it's a sin to lie, so Anna believes everything Josh says.

"The longer it drags on the more convinced she is this will all blow over."

Josh is currently on home confinement until his trial in November and is living with third party custodians LaCount and Maria Reber, who are longtime friends of the Duggar family.

"Anna has been spending all of her time at the home, often with the kids," the source went on.

"I really don't think they signed up to have two adults and six children living in the house, I heard tensions have been high for quite some time."

The Sun has reached out to the Duggar's family rep and the Rebers for comment, but did not hear back.

WEEKS FROM GIVING BIRTH

The insider claimed Anna is just weeks from giving birth and hopes Josh will be present as he was with their other children.

"She is desperate to have him by her side for the birth, but we don't know if he'll be allowed in the hospital yet," the source said.

"Everyone outside of the family thinks Anna should be focusing less on Josh and more on getting settled with her children away from the drama and preparing for her new arrival, but the reality is the opposite."

BLOCKBUSTER TRIAL

The source added that most of the Duggar siblings still believe Josh although they are starting to "have doubts," while dad Jim Bob has been "working hard behind the scenes to get him off."

"He's setting up meetings, paying lawyers and consultants, doing whatever he can to make sure his son doesn't go to jail," they said.
