Jana Duggar is single — andJessa (Duggar) Seewaldis ready to help a sister out!
“I love this pic of @janamduggar and our little niece! ❤️❤️,” Jessa captioned the sweet photo. “It’s been so lovely having @jingervuolo and Felicity in town for a little visit! Such sweet sister time. Come again soon— 💞.”
Jana’s decision to join the social media platform spurred speculation from one fan, who suspected that a courtship announcement “must be coming soon” as “all the Duggars get on social media when they are ready to announce a courtship.”
“Haha! That’s been merely coincidence for some,” wrote Jessa, 26. “Definitely not a prerequisite. She’s not in a relationship.”

Still, Jessa is more than willing to vet any quality suitors on Jana’s behalf.
“But if anyone is interested, please send all applications to me,” she wrote with a winking face and tongue out emoji.” She added with a crying laughing emoji: “I will check them out thoroughly.”
“So tech savvy,” Bates, 26, wrote with a phone and zany face emojis.

In addition to appearing on his family’s show, Bates is a singer-songwriter and “released his first full country album in fall 2016; which featured some of Nashville’s top artists and musicians,” according to hiswebsite. “He wrote and co-wrote eight of the twelve songs on the album.”
For now, it appears that Jana and Bates are just friends, and she’s content waiting for the right one to come along.
“I don’t know what the next five years will look like. In some ways you’ve got hopes and dreams. ‘Maybe I’ll meet the one and get married and have kids and stuff,’ ” she said onJill and Jessa: Counting Onin 2016.
She admitted she’s had suitors in the past, but they weren’t quite the right fit.
“There have been different guys come along and ask, but they haven’t been the right one. It’s just one of those things,” Jana said. “I’m not just out to get married to the first one who comes along.”
She added: “It’s this weird in between stage. I’m not a younger one, but then I’m not an older married one with kids,” who added, “So [I’m] just being busy with where God has me right now and being content in this place and learning as much as I can.”
