Jana Duggar

Earlier this year, despite her family's best efforts to conceal the news, word got out that Jana Duggar was being courted by Stephen Wissmann.

It was a development that fans of the family had been waiting for ever since Jana reached adulthood.

Anyone who's even passingly familiar with the Duggar clan knows that the family follows a very strict set of rules designed to ensure that all sexual encounters take place within the confines of marriage and for the purposes of procreation.

Of course, these days, the Duggar approach to human sexuality has been exposed as deeply flawed and psychologically damaging.

When the word got out that Jana Duggar was being courted by Stephen Wissmann, fans were overjoyed.

After all, they had been waiting the better part of a decade for the eldest Duggar daughter to meet and marry Mr. Right, and now, it looked as though their patience had been rewarded.

She isn't pregnant.

She isn't courting. (Or is she?!?)

For years, fans have been rooting for Jana Duggar to find the right man and start a family of her own.

Now, it appears that she's done exactly that.

According to a bombshell new cover story from one of the most highly-circulated magazines in the country, Josh Duggar is reacting to his April arrest very differently from other members of his family.

The accused pedophile is allegedly pretty relaxed about the whole thing.

When rumors that Jana Duggar was being courted by Stephen Wissmann first began to circulate, fans assumed that the couple would make an announcement when they got engaged.

When reports of Jana and Stephen's engagement started swirling, fans assumed that the couple would make an announcement after their eventual wedding.

Duggar fans have been rooting for Jana to get married and leave the next for more than half her life now.

And both parties probably thought it would be a very big deal when it finally happened.

Last week, Duggar fans were stunned when Jana Duggar went blonde and sported a figure-flattering black dress.

It wasn't just an apparent violation of Jim Bob's infamous rules for how women-folk are required to dress.

For several months now, we've been hearing rumors that Jana Duggar is engaged to Stephen Wissmann, a Nebraska-based businessman and pilot who shares her extremely orthodox religious views.

Fans are thrilled for Jana, of course, as speculation about her love life and her prospects for marriage have been a constant part of her adult life.

Jana Duggar is looking good. Great, even! Maybe ... too good?

For Jim Bob's extreme rules, anyway. She has colored her hair and is wearing a form-fitting black dress.

Even without concrete information, fans know that Jana Duggar and Stephen Wissmann's engagement was a long time coming.

Their families have had close ties for years, and Jana has been spending a conspicuous amount of time with them.

As Josh Duggar's trial date draws closer, we're getting new information with regard to what sort of strategy his lawyers are planning to adopt in their Hail Mary effort to keep their client out of prison.

But who's helping all the other people who are hoping to avoid being destroyed by the fallout from Josh's latest scandal?

For months now, we've been hearing reports that Jana Duggar is being courted by Stephen Wissmann.

Stephen is a Nebraska-based businessman and professional pilot, and of course, he's also a fundamentalist Christian whose faith takes center stage in his life.

There hasn't been a lot of good news for the Duggar family in recent weeks.

In fact, it seems that Josh Duggar's arrest on child pornography charges will force the entire family out of the spotlight and bring about financial ruin for Jim Bob and most of his children.

Things seem to be getting serious between Jana Duggar and rumored fiance Stephen Wissmann.

How serious? Well, fans found Jana and Stephen's wedding registry.Whether it was real or just Duggar disinformation remains unclear.

For months, it has been apparent to fans that Jana Duggar is hiding her courtship with Stephen Wissmann.

No one is sure of the reason, with speculation ranging from Jim Bob's orders to her disgusting brother's arrest.

Folks, it's finally happening.

Even though she hasn't made any sort of announcement yet, it's become clear that Jana Duggar is being courted by Stephen Wissmann, a Nebraska-based pilot and businessman.

The Duggars are in crisis mode these days, as Josh Duggar's arrest on child pornography charges has threatened the family fortune and the media empire that Jim Bob has worked so hard to create.

TLC has canceled Counting On, and the younger Duggars have been left scrambling for new forms of employment.

The Duggars have been in damage control mode ever since Josh Duggar was arrested on child pornography charges back in April.

In the months since, the scandal has led just everyone in the family to make drastic lifestyle changes.

For the better part of the past decade, diehard Duggar fans have been rooting for Jana Duggar to find the right man, settle down, and start a family of her own.

Now, she's well on her way toward doing exactly that, but sadly, she it looks as though she feels compelled to keep her first serious relationship a secret.

The road to wedded bliss has been a long and arduous one for Jana Duggar.

For years, Jana was known as "the Cinderella Duggar" due to her willingness to stay at home and help with the chores as her siblings left the nest to start families of their own.
