"19 Kids and Counting" alum Joy-Anna Duggar is the last person to reveal that she is already in the courting stages with her boyfriend, Austin Forsyth.

However, Radar Online reported that the couple's courting stage is just for show. After all, Duggar and Forsyth have been having sex for about a year now. The publication also claimed that Duggar also came clean to her parents, Jim Bob, and Michelle about her pregnancy scare.

A source told the publication, "Despite the courting nonsense, Joy-Anna and Austin have actually been having sex together for over a year! Jim Bob and Michelle can preach all they want about their children's chastity, but the plain fact is that their kids are like anyone else's; when they get to their late teens, their hormones are raging. Joy-Anna is no different, and she and Austin went way past the hand-holding stage a long time ago - and it led to them getting the fright of their young lives."

Meanwhile, the insider also claimed that the pregnancy scare happened earlier last year so Duggar and Forsyth were left with no other choice but to come clean to their parents. The Duggars panicked, but were pleased that they could still keep it from the media because Duggar was not really pregnant.

"That was obviously a huge sigh of relief for everyone concerned, but it did not erase the horror for Jim Bob and Michelle that they had come closer than close to having another family scandal on their hands," the source concluded.

Meanwhile, Josh, 28, admitted in 2015 that he sexually molested five young girls when he was just a teenager. A few months later, he went into rehab. After six months, Josh left the facility and returned to his family.

At present, the former reality TV star is selling cars and limousines. A source told the same publication that Josh is able to earn more money when he sells the latter. He has also resigned from his post at the pro-marriage Family Research Council in Washington D.C. around the same time that "19 Kids and Counting" was cancelled by TLC.
