The stars from two popular Christian TV shows Duck Dynasty and 19 Kids and Counting have met once again, and Sadie Robertson believes that it signals the start of a beautiful friendship.

Sadie shared a photo she had taken with Jana, Jinger, and Joy-Anna Duggar inside their home on her Instagram account (@legitsadierob) and she described them as "truly the most beautiful girls inside & out."

The teenager from Duck Dynasty also said that she's "excited about our new friendship. Thank you for being so sweet to welcome me into y'all's beautiful home. So proud of how this family shares their faith with the world."

Back in 2014, E! News asked Sadie if she ever gets bothered about being compared to the girls from the Duggar family, and she answered: "It doesn't bother me at all. I've actually met the Duggars once and they're great people. So to be compared to them is actually an honour, not anything bad."

Sadie and the Duggar girls actually have a lot in common. All of them have been raised in large and loving Christian homes, and they have also expressed their intent to remain virgins until they get married. The Robertson and Duggar clans have also come under fire for their anti-gay beliefs, with Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil being suspended temporarily from the show due to his controversial GQ interview while a petition on Change.org is asking TLC to cancel 19 Kids and Counting in order to "end LGBTQ fear mongering."

When the family encouraged happily married couples to post their kissing pictures on their Facebook account, a fan named John Becker decided to post a picture of him kissing his same-sex spouse. Later, he discovered that his photo was cut from the Facebook page.

Despite all the backlash the Duggar family has received, Sadie believes that they are "wonderful" people. "I actually wish I could hang out with them more because we actually do have a lot of the same values so it's cool to be compared to them," she said.
