James Duggar sent a loving shout-out to his dad, Jim Bob Duggar, while celebrating Father’s Day — and seemingly took a swipe at sister Jill Duggar in the process.
“Happy Father’s Day to the man who has always been my biggest supporter,” the 21-year-old captioned an Instagram carousel on Sunday, June 18, sharing throwback photos from his childhood. “Pops, Thank you for your endless sacrifices, your belief in me, you always pointing me to Christ, and the countless memories we’ve made together.”
James continued: “I am grateful to call you my dad, and I’m proud to be your child. Regardless of what anyone may say, your [sic] the best dad I in [sic] the world!”
The first photo in the post showed Jim Bob, now 57, cradling his infant son in his arms while the duo wore matching red shirts. James also included a selfie with his dad and a second baby pic. “Today, and every day, I celebrate you and the incredible father you are,” he wrote. “Love you a Ton! . ❤️ #FathersDay #bestdadever.”
James is the 13th child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, who share a total of 19 children.
