Even though just about everyone in the Duggar family was still a child when we first met them on 19 Kids & Counting, a lot of time has passed since that show premiered in 2008. The Duggars are officially growing up! Plenty of the older children have already courted, gotten married, and started having kids of their own — and we've gotten to watch it all unfold on Counting On and Instagram. But now, fans are beginning to wonder who will be the Duggar kid to enter a courtship next, and there are a few adult kids waiting in the wings at this point.
(Who will it be?!)
Of course, Jana Duggar is likely the most eligible of all of the Duggar bachelors and bachelorettes at this point. We've been wondering when she'll start courting, and if we had to place our bets for real, we'd assume that she'll be the next one to enter a courtship. But Jana seems to be OK with the single life, so she might not necessarily be itching to get married … and that leaves three of her brothers — who are also still single adults, waiting to meet the love of their lives.
Read on for the most eligible Duggar siblings. All of these kids just keep getting older, and there have been more Duggar weddings in the last few years than we can even keep straight. But as far as we can tell, there's about to be another influx of courtships and weddings in the near future, and these are siblings who will be next in line.
We hope Jim Bob and Michelle and their wallets are ready for this!
Eligible Bachelorette: Jana Duggar
Jana is the oldest Duggar daughter. Her twin, John David, was affectionately known as a "bachelor 'til the rapture," until he married Abbie Duggar in 2018, and now, Jana Duggar still waiting for her match. She still lives at home with her family and shares a room with her sisters — which she's said before is her choice — and unlike other 31-year-olds, Jana actually seems happy to be doing it.
Why She's Single
On Counting On, Jana has said that men have approached her family about a possible courtship, but none of them were quite the right fit, and we have to admire the fact that she doesn't want to settle. There has been speculation that Jana may be in a relationship with her BFF, Laura, but Jana has always denied those rumors. There's a good chance she's just waiting for the right person to come along!
Why She's a Catch
Whoever ends up with Jana will be a lucky person! Both on the show and on her personal Instagram account, Jana Duggar has shared her talents with the world — including DIY projects, gardening, home renovations. Whatever it is, Jana can do it — and on top of that, she seems to be the sweetest person.
Plus, she's gorgeous — no one can deny that!
Eligible Bachelor: Jeremiah Duggar
The second set of Duggar twins is also single, y'all! Even though he was tiny when we were first introduced to him on 19 Kids & Counting, Jeremiah is now in his twenties. These days, Jeremiah Duggar still lives at home with his family, working with dad Jim Bob. He's definitely one of the more low-key members of the family.
Why He's Single
Jeremiah hasn't come out and shared why he's single, but it's likely that he's still waiting for the right person to come into his life. Given that most of his siblings do get married in their early 20s, it's likely only a matter of time before we find out that Jeremiah is courting … as long as his family is able to introduce him to someone he could see spending the rest of his life with.
Why He's a Catch
Looking through Duggar fan Instagram accounts, it's easy to see that Jeremiah Duggar is a favorite. Plenty of fans out there love to post about how cute he is, including in the Duggars' own Instagram comments. He also seems to love his family and treat them well, which is an awesome sign, and this guy always has a smile on his face.
Eligible Bachelor: Jason Duggar
Coming in right after his older twin brothers, Jason is the next single Duggar dude. Even though he's not in a relationship, he's definitely been keeping himself busy these days, having launched his own business, and his own Instagram account. Jason always seemed to be super close with his brothers and parents, too, so he's definitely a family guy.
Why He's Single
Jason hasn't talked much about what he's looking for in a future courtship, but right now, much like Jed, it seems like he's focusing on other things. He recently created his own business, Build Master Construction, since he's recently gotten into house flipping and home renovations, which is a skill that seems to run in their family!
Why He's a Catch
It's pretty awesome that Jason has all the skills necessary to renovate and flip houses. (That in itself is a really interesting trait.) Aside from that, he also loves to help people, and last year, he visited the Bahamas to use those contracting skills to help repair storm damage. According to his Instagram bio, he's also a musician.
Is there anything this guy can't do?
Eligible Bachelor: James Duggar
Rounding out the list is the youngest bachelor in the Duggar family! James Duggar is 19 years old, and as far as we know, still single and isn't courting. It's hard to believe that this guy is a full-fledged adult after watching him grow up on 19 Kids & Counting and Counting On, but before we know it, we'll be seeing him walk down the aisle and start his own family, too.
Why He's Single
Though James hasn't shared much about his hopes and dreams for a future partner, there's one big reason why he's still single that we can think of: his age! Most of the members of the Duggar family tend to get married early, but 19 is still young, so we wouldn't be surprised if he was holding off to get a little older first — and to find the right person to court, of course.
Why He's a Catch
In their birthday post for James, Jim Bob and Michelle sang his praises, making him sound like a pretty awesome guy. They mentioned that he's a fun uncle to all of his nieces and nephews, he's great around the house — especially when it comes to fixing stuff, and he recently earned his CDL — which means he can officially operate heavy machinery. Sounds like he accomplishes just about anything he puts his mind to.
