COUNTING On’s Jinger Duggar and her husband Jeremy Vuolo are looking to refresh a few things as they “work” on their marriage.
They’ve decided to take a “break” from their podcast and made it official by getting rid of the show’s old posts.
Earlier this year, a source exclusively told The Sun that Jinger, 27, and Jeremy, 33, were stepping away from their podcast, Hope We Hold, to focus on their “suffering” marriage after becoming “overwhelmed.”
The Counting On stars launched their Christian show last June and grew their following to have hundreds of thousands of fans downloading more than 30 episodes.
They also had more than 40k people following along on the podcast’s Instagram, but now those fans have nothing to look at on the page.
Jinger and Jeremy wiped the slate clean during the show’s break and deleted all of the photos and videos from the page, which would have clips and quotes from the episodes.
There’s also a Twitter linked up to the podcast, which announced when new episodes were released, but the tweets have not been deleted, only the Instagram posts.
The Hope We Hold website is still active, and fans can still sign up for the audio show’s email list, though a date for when Jinger and Jeremy will return to make new episodes has not yet been revealed.
Sharing what the show is all about, the website told Duggar fans: “Listen in as we explore how to find new hope, discuss life matters, and share practical and personal encouragement.
“Hosted by Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo, we hope you’ll be uplifted, challenged, inspired, and equipped each week as we engage real-life issues from a biblical perspective.”
The couple decided to put a pause on the program a few months after welcoming their second daughter, Evangeline, in November.
They also share 2-year-old Felicity.
The insider told The Sun: “Jinger and Jeremy are experiencing a bump in the road and want to take a step back from the podcast for a while to focus on their marriage.”
“They have been juggling a lot with a new baby, their lifestyle brand and releasing books, all in the middle of a pandemic, they feel a bit overwhelmed and their relationship has suffered.
“They are still very much in love and divorce is not on the cards, they just want to work through things and come out of this difficult period together and stronger as a family.”
The source added: “The podcast has been a huge success with hundreds of thousands of listeners, but they often have to get very personal and they want to deal with this time in private.”
Jeremy, 33, has been receiving a lot of criticism from followers in recent months for the way he treats his wife while recording their podcast episodes, with many begging Jinger to leave him.
Fans had been speculating for months that the couple, who married in November 2016, may be having issues.
The pair are also considering quitting Counting On because of their “horrible” contract with TLC, a source previously told The Sun exclusively.
They have been on screen for years, with Jinger initially starring on 19 Kids and Counting – which followed her parents, Michelle and Jim Bob, and their huge brood.

She then began appearing on the TLC spin-off, Counting On, with Jeremy.
Asked if the rumors about them quitting the show are true, an insider told The Sun: “Yes. It’s not definite yet, but they are having deep conversations about quitting.
“The contracts with the network are a bit crazy, they are very locked in and it stops them from making money in many other ways.”
