Jana Duggar courtship news: New photo hints at potential lovelife

The Duggar family will be back on television following the cancellation of "19 Kids and Counting," with a new show focusing primarily on Jill and Jessa Duggar. The other siblings will still make an appearance, and according to a report from The Hollywood Gossip, a new photo is suggesting that Jana Duggar will be getting into a new relationship soon.

Rumors of Jana's love life began to spark when the first trailer for "Jill and Jessa: Counting On" was released. There is one quick sequence in which Jana is shown stating "I totally did not see this coming." Many fans have speculated that this might be an indication of her suddenly getting into a romantic relationship or even getting engaged.

While Jana's statement could have meant anything, a new photo shared on the family's official Facebook page reveals a mystery man that many speculate could be there to court either Jana or Jinger Duggar. The background also shows a wall hanging a few decors that could indicate this specific event may have been Valentine's Day-centered.

The report points out that the family has a tradition where the girls do not hang around single men often unless the person is being considered as a future boyfriend or husband. Since the man is hanging around with the Duggar girls, it is speculated that he may be courting one of the girls, particularly Jana due to her lack of a substantial love life. 

However, fans have pointed out the man in the background is Logan Smith, a family friend who has shown no interest in courting the Duggar girls. Despite this, many speculate that Smith may be finally making a move and that this could involve courting Jana, given their long history as family friends.

"Jill and Jessa: Counting On" will officially premiere this March 15, although it is unclear if the events shown in the image will be revealed in the first episode.
