The distances of both voyager probes from earth are actually decreasing at the moment due to Earth's position in its orbit around the sun. NASA link with their distances
On average Earth's location is close to the middle of the sun, so it's still accurate to say it's getting further away from earth
They're still moving away, it's just that at the moment the earth is moving towards them.
