Amy Duggar King is asking fans for their support amid a trying time for her husband, Dillon King.
As she celebrated Dillon’s birthday in a post shared to Instagram on Thursday, April 3, the Counting Onalum revealed that Dillon was seeking medical attention due to a few health concerns.
“Happy Birthday to my favorite person on the planet!” she wrote alongside a series of photos, including one of Dillon lying in a gurney. “Y’all I adore this man! Dax has the best dad on the planet and he’s so loved by so many family and friends!”
“Normally we’d be celebrating in a huge way but currently we are facing some possible life threatening medical concerns,” she continued. “Today I’d like to ask for some prayers on his behalf. I know God has him, but we welcome the prayers!! I can’t think of a better gift for him!”
Amy concluded her post by addressing her spouse, “Dillon we can get through anything together.”
Amy and Dillon got married in September 2015 and welcomed their son, Daxton, 4, in October 2019.

Since 2019, the couple has been distant from some Duggar family members as Amy has spoken out against her cousin Josh Duggar, who is serving a 12-year prison sentence after being sentenced in May 2022 for receiving and possessing child pornography.
“I have not spoken to him, and I will not. I will not,” Amy told us of Josh in 2024. “When you just cross those evil lines like that, there is no coming back. I just think there’s no coming back.”

In June 2023, Amy opened up about her family’s presence in her life today and confessed that the Duggars’ controversial stances and actions have made her hesitant to allow many of them around Daxton.
“I don’t know if he’s ever really going to get to know them, which I hate to say,” she told Entertainment Tonight Canada at the time. “The thing is with trust is obviously it can be broken in an instant. Right? But it takes a long time to heal… And so for me, I feel like that trust is completely broken.”
“If you’re going to cover up abuse, then, you know, if you’re not going to protect your kids or your children back in the day, I’m going to protect mine,” Amy said.
She added, “If you are struggling in any type of area, you kind of have to hide it and it festers up and it turns into, you know, something evil and monstrous. And so for me, I have to protect my little boy from that.”
