If you’re a fan of the Duggar clan, then you’re likely aware of the scrutiny surrounding the love life of eldest daughter Jana.
The so-called “Cinderella Duggar” is still single at 27 and a surprising number of people are of the opinion that she needs to be married off ASAP.
As a result, reports about Jana’s involvement in various courtships circulate pretty much non-stop on social media.
The rumor mill was working overtime this past week, with Jana allegedly entering not one but two romantic relationships.
First, fans were convinced that Jana was courting Caleb Williams, a longtime family friend with whom she was recently photographed.
Caleb posted a status update clarifying that he and Jana are just friends, but that didn’t stop the internet sleuths from digging deeper into the mystery of Jana’s love life.
Shortly after the Williams rumor was debunked, it was widely reported that Jana was courting Jacob Wilson.
Wilson also took to social media to refute the claims that he and Jana are more than just friends.
And once again, fans are far too invested in Jana’s dating life are crestfallen.
As always, the main question is why Jana is choosing to remain single
(As though she somehow owes an explanation to people who watch her family’s reality show.)
Not surprisingly, it seems the answer is that she simply hasn’t found the right man, and she has other things going on in her life these days.
“She’s picky,” one insider tells Radar Online.
“She’s hardly ever home. She lives at home, but she has a job. She’s not stressed about getting married.”
We assume the job the source is referring to is Jana’s duties at her family’s used car lot.
So while she may not be at home very often, she’s still spending most of her time on her family’s property, and we’re sure Jim Bob wouldn’t have it any other way.
Still, it’s interesting that she spends so much of her time at work, and not doing chores around the compound.
On TV, we’re given the impression that Jana has devoted her life to serving as a second mother to her younger siblings.
If the report that she actually devotes most of her time to flipping cars is accurate, then we’re left wondering why she would be inaccurately portrayed on a series that’s executive produced by her father.
Sadly, the most likely explanation is that Jim Bob doesn’t want to give viewers the impression that his eldest daughter is not only single, but – gasp! – a career woman.
