Also, I’m an old lady and slept through the premiere the other night. I’m told I missed some hilarity, Priscilla Keller’s gay husband, and some moments where I’ll watch to punch Michelle in the face. I’m so excited! What was the best part?

Amy Duggar, the lovable and outgoing cousin from “19 Kids and Counting,” spoke to me on August 25 for an exclusive interview with Examiner.com. She revealed new details about her famous Duggar family, her ongoing relationship with her boyfriend, and the upcoming premiere of “19 Kids and Counting.” As always, our chat was entertaining and enlightening as Amy gave me a peek into her private life, which is “going great!”
The premiere of “19 Kids and Counting” is only one day away and Amy Duggar said that fans are sure to love the new season. “It’s going to be a fun season. There were lots of valleys last season, but there will be more laughs, lots of fun and some surprises this season,” Amy explained. Although she couldn’t reveal any details, Amy hopes to be with the Duggar family when the show premieres on Tuesday. “I think everyone will enjoy this season for sure,” she added.
Since the end of last season, Amy Duggar has been blazing trails to Oklahoma to spend time with her boyfriend, Reed Taylor, a 23-year-old, college-educated construction manager. The two are together as much as possible and their relationship is turning serious. “We’re in full bloom. He’s great. It’s really fun dating your best friend,” Amy gushed during our interview. She joked that she travels to Oklahoma so often that she can make the drive in her sleep.
Amy also revealed that she and Reed have actually looked at wedding rings. It looks like the lovebirds are close to getting engaged, but Amy has no clue how Reed will propose. “He’s very romantic,” Amy stated and added that her family might know more about Reed’s proposal than they’re letting on. Amy also stated that Reed would probably be introduced on-air during the upcoming season of “19 Kids and Counting” because he is such a big part of her life.
In the meantime, Amy Duggar continues to work as a nanny for several families in her hometown. “I can’t have an 8-5 office job. I like the change of scenery,” she stated. When not working, she spends her time with Reed and her 19 Duggar cousins. When they all get together, “we always have something to do,” she said of the super-sized Duggar family.
Music is one of Amy Duggar’s true passions and she still has aspirations for landing a record deal in Nashville. She confirmed that several Nashville producers have reached out to her, but added that it is a lengthy process. “I’m trying to figure it all out. There are a lot of sharks in Nashville,” she said. She also explained that she is very patient when it comes to her music and ended our conversation by confidently stating, “God’s timing is everything.”
The new season of “19 Kids and Counting” premieres at 8/7c on Tuesday, August 28 on TLC.
