Jinger Duggar and her husband Jeremy Vuolo have no hard feelings over TLC's decision to cancel their reality show, "Counting On."

While Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar recently broke their silence on the cancellation of their show after 11 seasons, most of the Duggars have remained mum. But Jinger and Vuolo have issued a statement about the fate of the "19 Kids and Counting" spinoff series through their respective Instagram accounts, saying they "agree" with the network's decision.

"We are grateful for TLC giving us the opportunity to be on their network over the years and their kindness towards the Vuolo family. It's been a remarkable journey that has opened doors to traveling and experiencing the world in a way that we wouldn't have imagined possible," the couple wrote Tuesday.

The statement continued, "We wholeheartedly agree with TLC's decision not to renew 'Counting On' and are excited for the next chapter in our lives. We'd like to thank our fans, friends and the amazing film crew who have shown us love and support. We look forward to continuing our creative journey in Los Angeles and seeing what the future holds."

In a statement issued to People Tuesday, the network said, "TLC will not be producing additional seasons of Counting On. TLC feels it is important to give the Duggar family the opportunity to address their situation privately."

The network alluded to recent public scandals involving Jinger's oldest brother Josh Duggar, who awaits trial in his child pornography case. He has pleaded not guilty to receiving and possessing child pornography.

Amy King, a cousin of the Duggars who appeared on their shows, also shared several photos from over the years on her Instagram. She thanked TLC "for the ride" and wrote, "I stand with the network in this decision!"

In Jim Bob and Michelle's statements, the couple looked back at the moment the production company first contacted them almost two decades ago and how much their family has grown since then. They did not acknowledge their eldest son Josh's April arrest on child pornography charges but hinted that it won't be the last time their fans will hear from them.

"We look forward to all the new adventures and endeavors that may come our way, and with so many grown children and wonderful grandchildren, we know our love will only continue to multiply!" the couple wrote.

Meanwhile, Jinger and Jeremy are not the only members of the Duggar family who backed the cancellation of the show. In May, Jill Duggar's husband, Derick Dillard, seemingly hinted that he supports this by liking several tweets calling for TLC to end the Duggar family's air time following Josh's arrest.

"The Duggars need to be removed from @tlc now. RIGHT NOW! This is beyond disgusting," read one of the tweets he liked.

Jill and her husband were also part of "Counting On" but left after six seasons. The couple explained that they decided to leave ahead of Season 7 because they felt that the show was not aligned with their goals for their family.

"We left the show because basically, our family goals that we had for ourselves didn't align with what we found out. We didn’t have as much control over our lives as it related to the show and stuff, as we felt like we needed," Jill said in a Q&A session on YouTube.
