The past decade has been filled with ups and downs for the couple, whose marriage was rocked by scandal in 2015. Following Josh’s extended stay at a faith-based rehabilitation center, the pair entered marriage counseling following their difficult year.

Nearly two years later, in March 2017, Josh and Anna announced the happy news that they were expecting their fifth child.

“For nearly the last two years, we have quietly worked to save our marriage, focus on our children, and rebuild our lives together as a family. Doing so is never easy after a breach of trust. We’ve learned that a life of faith and rebuilding a life together is simply done one day at a time,” they wrote in a joint statement. “As we continue our journey as a family and rebuild our lives, we are delighted to share with you that we are expecting a new baby boy later this year. Beauty comes from ashes and we cannot wait to see and kiss the face of this sweet new boy!”

In September 2017, the couple welcomed son Mason Garrett.

“The entire family is ecstatic over the arrival of another beautiful blessing,” they wrote in a blog post announcing Mason’s birth. “We want to thank everyone for your prayers, kind words and well wishes.”
