Josh Duggar from the cancelled TLC show "19 Kids and Counting" was not present during the wedding of his cousin Amy Duggar to Dillon King. People could not help but notice his absence and talk about him, given the recent Ashley Madison scandal that exposed him for cheating on his wife Anna.

When Amy's good friend and music mentor James Garrett talked to Josh's dad Jim Bob, he asked the show's patriarch how Josh was doing in the Bible-based rehab facility Reformers Unanimous.

"I did inquire with Jim Bob about Josh, and he said he's getting help and they are all praying for him," Garrett told Radar Online. "It's all they can do."

Garrett also approached the other Duggar children—Jill, Jessa, and Jana—and asked them how they are dealing with their eldest brother's latest scandal.

"They said, 'We're all just going to move ahead and live, we're all fine,'" Garrett shared. "They were forthcoming about it. They have a strong faith, and were all in good spirits."

But as much as everybody was curious about Josh and how his family is coping with his misdeeds, Garrett said everybody was focused on the bride that day. "Everyone was gathered there for Amy," Garrett said, adding that non-family members were very "respectful" about the topic of Josh.

Everybody was also very concerned for Josh's wife Anna, who gave birth to their fourth child Meredith Grace just this August. She is currently under the care of Josh's parents Jim Bob and Michelle. Her brother Daniel Keller has publicly called on her to leave Josh and stay with his family instead.

According to Daniel, his sister and her four kids are welcome to live with him anytime, and he vowed to never stop trying to get them away from Josh's grasp.
