Jim Bob Duggar has a wife and 19 children — many of whom still live under his roof — but it seems he's finding a lot of spare time to spend with someone else these days. Apparently, Jim Bob's been hanging out with a single mom and her boys in their community, and it's raising more than a few questions about what's really going on.

Jim Bob has been spending time with one woman in particular.
According to Duggar critic Katie Joy of Without a Crystal Ball, Jim Bob has been acting as a "mentor" toward the woman and her boys, visiting her at her home quite frequently since her family joined his church, the Institute in Basic Life Principles, or IBLP.
"According to a source, Mr Duggar frequently offers up his money and resources to newbies and goes out of his way to love bomb them with gifts," she wrote. "This in turn builds loyalty and they become fiercely devoted to JB."
The woman has been sharing photos of Jim Bob with her kids on Facebook.
In one post, she wrote, "I couldn’t ask for a better Godly man for my young men to look up to."
In other recent Facebook posts, the woman has shown Jim Bob and his nephew, Tyler, inside their home, hanging out on the couch, and in other photos, we can see other Duggar boys with her sons.
Jim Bob has been accused of getting 'too close' to single women in his church before.
As Katie Joy reported, Jim Bob seems to have an affinity for single moms and loves having the chance to step into a fatherly role for their children.
"One source has said that JB’s interest in single women has caused big issues within their churches in the past. He’s allegedly been confronted about being 'too close' and having the appearance of an 'inappropriate' relationship with the women," she wrote in her post.

People have a lot of theories about what's going on here.
In the comments, multiple people shared their thoughts on what Jim Bob is really doing with this woman — and her sons.
"Maybe he is trying to groom or prepare them to marry one of his younger daughters," one person wrote.
Another commenter shared, "It looks like Jim Bob would like to trade Michelle for a sleeker younger model. He just doesn't have the courage to do it."
Everything will come out eventually.
After how much attention is now on the family after Amazon Prime's docuseries, Shiny Happy People, and the fact that Jill has a tell-all book coming out in just a matter of months … we have a feeling the rest of the skeletons in the Duggars' closets won't be there for much longer. Watch out, Jim Bob.
