No side hugs here: Amy shared a photo of her and Dillon kissing at a rodeo in Arkansas last week

Alongside an Instagram photo of her parents Deanna Duggar and Terry Jordan, she wrote: 'Just because we are Christians doesn't make us perfect, it just makes us forgiven. Just because I share the Duggar name doesn't mean my life is perfect!'

In May, she also took to social media to address her cousin Josh's molestation scandal.

'Never stop praying,' she said.

The post came a week after an explosive 2006 police report was publicly released detailing how Josh, now 27, molested five minors as a teenager in a scandal that has rocked the Duggars' lives.

As a result of Josh's acknowledgement that he inappropriately touched five underage girls including his sisters Jill and Jessa when he was 14 to 15 years old, TLC pulled the reality series 19 Kids and Counting from its schedule.
