In fact, insiders claimed that Jana and Stephen had already set a wedding date.
Some even went so far as to claim that Jana and Stephen were secretly married!
Needless to say, that turned out not to be the case.
And shortly thereafter, it was widely reported that the couple had broken up.
Insiders offered conflicting explanations for Jana and Stephen’s split, but everyone seemed to agree that the two had gone their separate ways.
Now, however, it looks as though these fundamentalist lovebirds may have decided to give their relationship a second chance.
Are Jana and Stephen Secretly Engaged?
The rumor mill kicked into high gear when Jana posted an Instagram photo in which she appeared to be sporting an engagement ring.
Rumors about Jana getting married used to crop up every few months or so.
And obviously, most of them turned out to be bogus.
But on that occasion, fans have spotted what they believe to be photographic evidence of an engagement. And they were right!
Not only were these people correct in their belief that Jana was engaged, they figured out that Stephen was the mystery man who would soon be walking her down the aisle.
Who Is Stephen Wissman?
Stephen, as you may recall, is a commercial pilot and longtime friend of the Duggars’.
Not surprisingly, he met the family through church.
And while he and Jana broke up over a year ago, Stephen reportedly remained close with Jim Bob and company.
In fact, Stephen’s sister Hannah Wissman is now married to Jeremiah Duggar, one of Jana’s many younger brothers.
So we know that the Wissman family has earned Jim Bob’s seal of approval, which is no easy feat.
So when a new round of engagement rumors cropped up, Stephen quickly emerged as the most likely candidate.
But we’d been burned by Jana wedding rumors enough times in the past.
So at first, we were reluctant to jump on the bandwagon. But now, we know that Jana has found her happily ever after.
We couldn’t be happier for her. And some positive Duggar news is a refreshing change of pace following years of family scandals!
Hey, Jana might even score herself another reality show from all of this! Anyway! Congrats to the happy couple!
