Counting On alums Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have kept the lives of their younger children discreet since the cancellation of their show. TLC had to give the Duggar family privacy following Josh Duggar’s CSAM arrest in 2021.
Since then, only the Duggar adults have kept in touch with fans online. They would share updates about their younger siblings now and then. But many were surprised when an in-law seemingly hinted at a possible Duggar engagement. Keep reading to see the discussion.
‘Counting On‘: Several Duggar Kids Are Speculated To Be Courting
There have been numerous speculations that some young adults in the family are courting. One of them is James, who hasn’t been appearing on social media, despite creating a YouTube vlogging channel a few years ago. James was reportedly linked with Lydia Swanson after numerous photos of them looking so close together surfaced online. The Counting On alum has yet to confirm the rumors, though it was revealed that Lydia only turned 18 last year.

Meanwhile, Jackson was spotted hanging out with a mystery woman in 2024. She was with their church, making her completely compatible with Jim Bob’s and Michelle’s son. But others think they don’t have a romantic relationship, and they just happened to be paired for a bag-throwing competition.

Did A Secret Duggar Engagement Happen?
Some Counting On fans on social media discussed a photo that was shared by Jeremiah Duggar’s wife, Hannah. She congratulates a woman getting engaged to a mysterious man. The woman was later revealed to be Charissa Wissmann, the sister of Hannah and Stephen. While the man remains a mystery, some speculated that it could be another Duggar son. However, many doubt that it’s someone from the Duggar family, especially considering the man’s hair.
Rumored Duggar Engagement – Instagram
- “Its probably a sister of the Wissmann’s, but I don’t see a Duggar in that guy. His hair is too present.”
- “The younger Duggalos have lighter hair. IIRC Pest was the only real brunet until Joe’s recent oil slick hair so I’d say probably not because most of them have sandier hair.”
- “That’s Charissa Wissmann – sister (one of many) of Hannah and Stephen. Her fiancé’s name is Luke…so, not a Duggar. Edit: She’s nineteen, apparently. So it remains to be seen whether she’ll be a teen bride.”
- “The girl is Hannah (married to Jeremiah) and Stephen’s (married to Jana) sister but I don’t think the guy is a Duggar. Jackson is the only truly single Duggar boy. James is rumored to be engaged to Lydia Swanson. He’s the only other unmarried boy.”
- “Honestly not sure, however the guy seems to have Lego hair like boob.”
- “That man’s head appears to be of normal size and shape, I’d say no.”
Do you think a Duggar boy is about to get married?
