Jana is a fan favorite among the TLC show fans; among fundamental Christian circles it is rare for a woman to remain single into her 30s, and she still lives with her parents Jim Bob and Michelle. She is their eldest daughter.

However, in early March newly discovered pictures show Jana spending Christmas with Stephen and his family, and one in particular showing her sitting close next to Stephen.

The Wissmann family were also spotted with the Duggars at Magnolia Market in Texas, joining Jana and her siblings for Justin Duggar’s wedding.

Stephen’s parents Loren and Gloria Wissmann have 13 children. On their blog page, they share that Stephen has his pilot’s licence, and loves to work with his hands.

Jed is getting married on 3 April; pictures of the 22-year-old appearing to propose to Katey Nakatsu first appeared on fan page Without A Crystal Ball in mid-March, with fans speculating that the pair began courting in early 2020 before a Christmas engagement.
