Amy Duggar wishes her husband, Dillon King, was having a happier birthday.
“Y’all I adore this man!” Duggar, 38, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, April 3. “Normally we’d be celebrating in a huge way but currently we are facing some possible life threatening medical concerns. Today I’d like to ask for some prayers on his behalf. I know God has him, but we welcome the prayers!! I can’t think of a better gift for him!”
While Duggar didn’t share her husband’s diagnosis or specifics about his health battle, the former Counting On star shared a picture of King lying in a gurney from what appeared to be a doctor’s office.
“Happy Birthday to my favorite person on the planet!” she continued. “[Our son] Dax has the best dad on the planet and he’s so loved by so many family and friends. … Dillon we can get through anything together. 💛🥹.”
After sharing her husband’s health scare online, Duggar immediately began receiving supportive comments from family and fans.
“Happy birthday, Dillon! Praying for you all. 🙏🏻,” Jinger Duggar wrote in the comments section. Jill Duggar added, “HBD Dillon! Praying for y’all!”
Starting in 2008, Amy was regularly featured on the TLC show 19 Kids and Counting, which focused on the life of her maternal uncle Jim Bob Duggar‘s large family.
She briefly appeared on the show’s spinoff Counting On before joining the cast of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars with King in 2017.
The couple, who have been married since September 2015, welcomed their son, Daxton, in October 2019, and have chosen to raise him away from reality TV cameras.
Fans of the family, however, have still been able to follow the couple’s milestones via social media, including a recent anniversary.
“We celebrated 9 years of marriage in a luxury African tent!!” Amy wrote via Instagram in October 2024. “@thecoveytents was so romantic, secluded and beautiful! From the outdoor shower, the coffee drawer to the pizza kit to the sunsets everything was amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Love you forever Taz.”
King also gushed about his wife in a heartfelt anniversary post.
“Nine years of adventures, laughter and love, and it keeps getting better. 🌊🚢,” he wrote via Instagram. “From Mahogany Bay, Costa, Maya, to Cozumel, every stop is a new memory with you. I choose you every day, and I’ll never stop. Here’s to many more years of exploring life together.”
