His SHOCKING Diagnosis! 🩺 Amy’s Husband Is Battling A “Rare & Dangerous” Disease… What Is It?! 😨

Dylan King, husband of former Counting On star Amy Duggar King, is reportedly battling a series of severe health issues. According to recent updates shared by his wife, Dylan was diagnosed in April 2025 with a rare and life-threatening diaphragmatic rupture, a nearly 4-inch tear that caused several of his organs to herniate into his chest cavity. This was followed by a more recent diagnosis in June 2025 of celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that further complicates his recovery.

Despite the gravity of his health condition, the couple has faced significant public backlash and skepticism. Online critics have accused Dylan of “faking” his illness, citing social media posts where he was seen drinking alcohol and smoking. The couple has also been criticized for maintaining a seemingly “lavish lifestyle” of travel and shopping while Dylan is concurrently facing a lawsuit for failing to pay rent for his business in Arkansas.

Amy Duggar King has publicly defended sharing their story, stating that she is seeking prayers and community support, not financial gain, and has pushed back against accusations of being an “attention seeker.” The couple is currently navigating Dylan’s complex medical recovery, which is made more challenging by his ongoing legal troubles and the intense public scrutiny of their actions.
