We are sure that 19 Kids and Counting stars, The Duggars, can't wait for 2015 to come to an end, and start over in the New Year. The devoutly Christian family has had their fair share of controversy in 2015, not only with Josh Duggar's molestation scandal coming to light, but also the cancellation of their TLC TV series, and the news that Josh had cheated on his wife with a porn star. Yet, now the family has another mishap for 2015. It seems that there is a divorce happening in Amy Duggar King's family, who happens to be a cousin to the famous Duggar siblings. In fact Duggar King's parents filed for divorce and told their daughter through text message on Christmas day.

It is being reported by Us Weekly that King's father, Terry Jordan has officially filed from divorce from his wife earlier this month. Jordan filed papers with the Washington County court in Arkansas shortly before Christmas on December 21.

The fact that the Duggars have constantly been in the news over the last year hasn't been lost on Duggar King either, as she spoke out to Entertainment Tonight regarding the divorce, jokingly saying, "It has been quite a year to be a Duggar."

"The family has gone through a lot of heartache this year," the 29-year-old star continued. "We will get through it. Right now, I just have to take lessons from all I've gone through this year and focus on my marriage."

The former reality star turned aspiring country singer wed Dillon King this past September in an beautiful ceremony with family members Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and some of their kids attending.

However, while the news might not have come as a huge shock like other things in the family's past, she does say that she was blindsided by how her dad chose to reveal the news to her.

"They have had an on/off relationship for a long time. It's sad they can't be a team," the starlet revealed, according to Radar Online. "The divorce papers came, and my dad told me through a text on Christmas. I don't think he mean to, he just didn't know what to do. I was devastated. It hit me so hard."
