Shocking Scandal! Did Jason Duggar Break Major Duggar Rules on a Wild Honeymoon? It’ll SHOCK U

Jason Duggar’s Honeymoon in Italy & Breaking the Rules with Mamma Mia

Fans of the Duggar family were recently buzzing with rumors and speculation regarding the post-nuptial plans of Jason Duggar and his new bride, Maddy Grace, whom he married in early October. While some fans speculated about a honeymoon in Greece—possibly confusing them with Joe and Kendra Duggar, who did honeymoon there—the couple actually chose the Italian Peninsula for their getaway.

The biggest stir, however, did not involve geography but a surprisingly secular piece of media. The Duggar family is known for strict fundamentalist rules that include isolating themselves from almost all mainstream media, which they have publicly denounced as being influenced by the devil.

Jason Duggar recently caused a stir on social media by revealing he was watching the musical film $Mamma Mia$. This viewing choice is highly significant because the film’s themes are fundamentally at odds with the Duggars’ core religious beliefs:

• The Plot: The story hinges on a daughter trying to discover the identity of her biological father among three possible candidates, a narrative revolving around non-marital conception—an “unthinkable” scenario in the Duggar world.
• The Ideology: The Duggar brand of fundamentalism emphasizes the husband and father as the “ruler” who essentially “owns” his wife and children. Watching a film that celebrates themes of ambiguity, independence, and European pop culture is seen as a major break from family doctrine.

Jason, at 24, may have only gained the freedom to make this viewing choice after getting married, marking a potential quiet step toward independence from his parents’ strict rules.

Jinger Duggar Vuolo Opens Up on Family Size and Freedom

Meanwhile, Jason’s older sister, Jinger Duggar Vuolo, continues to put considerable distance—both physical and ideological—between herself and the family’s Arkansas homestead.

• Moving West: Jinger (30) and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, have been living in Los Angeles since 2019, a massive shift from her sheltered upbringing and initial married life in Laredo, Texas. She describes her life in LA as having an “awesome community” and good friends.
• Rejecting the “As Many As Possible” Doctrine: Jinger recently spoke on her podcast about growing up believing she would have a massive family, consistent with her parents’ stance against birth control. She acknowledged that while children are a blessing, she realized it doesn’t mean she has to have “as many as we can.” With two daughters (Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 3) and another baby on the way, she is leaning toward a smaller family of three or four.
• The Truman Show Moment: Jinger revealed how sheltered her childhood was when she watched the movie $The Truman Show$ on her honeymoon in 2016. She was shocked by the story of a man whose life was a reality show, telling her husband, “Wow, that feels like my life in many ways,” acknowledging the unsettling feeling of growing up constantly monitored on television.

Both Jason and Jinger’s recent actions suggest a quiet, yet significant, evolution away from the severe restrictions of the Duggar family’s former lifestyle.
