Duggars may dislike this fact about the Nakatsus

According to FandomKatey’s parents are divorced. Now, her father, Kory Nakatsu, has remarried a woman named Kerry. While divorce isn’t uncommon, it’s a big deal in the Duggar family.

The Duggar family follows the teaching of the IBLP, which stands for Institute of Basic Life Principles. Divorce is frowned upon. While the Nakatsus share some of the same beliefs now, they haven’t always done so. When Katey was young, the family was Christian, but they didn’t adhere to the strict guidelines of the IBLP. Growing up, Katey went to public school for a little while. Then, in 8th grade, she was homeschooled.

In 2005, Kory split from his wife, Kim, who’s Katey’s biological mother. He got remarried in 2009.

On the Duggars Snark subreddit, critics of the family are discussing this information. They are surprised to find out that Katey’s parents are divorced. One user writes, “It probably isn’t frowned upon for the same reason they all still associate with Josh – they are redeemed in their love for Jesus.” Another states that the divorce occurred prior to Katey’s family becoming a part of the IBLP.
