It’s been just over a month since we first learned that Jinger Duggar is courting Jeremy Vuolo.
But we all know how quickly relationships move in Duggarland, so it should come as no surprise that Jinger and Jeremy are officially engaged!
The couple shared the news this morning in a press release issued to People magazine.
“So excited to share this news that we are now engaged,” their statement reads.
“From both of us, thank you all for the countless well-wishes we’ve received during the courtship. We are so excited to take this next step in spending our lives together.
“We are so grateful for how the Lord has brought us together. It has been an incredible journey so far and we are excited about serving Christ together in the coming days.”
Rumors that Jinger and Jeremy were secretly engaged began to circulate several weeks ago, and we still don’t know if Vuolo just popped the question last night, or if the Duggar clan has been keeping the news under wraps.
Fortunately, we’ll soon find out much more about this relationship, as production insiders say Jill & Jessa: Counting On Season 2 will be be largely focused on Jinger’s courtship.
As for Jeremy himself, we already know a great deal about the former pro soccer player.
After a rebellious youth that included some scrapes with the law, Jeremy devoted himself fully to soccer and service of others.
He and Jinger hit it off during a missionary trip after being introduced by Jinger’s sister Jessa and her husband, Ben Seewald.
“We are very excited to begin this journey together,” Vuolo recently said of his bride-to-be.
And we’re excited to see how it all began.
Jill & Jessa: Counting On Season 2 premieres August 23 on TLC.
