The Untold Truth Of Jana Duggar
Transcript
00:00Out of all of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's 19 kids, their eldest daughter, Jana, is arguably
00:06the most low-key.
00:07But there's a lot more to this Duggar daughter than meets the eye.
00:10From Tim Tebow dating rumors, to complicated relationships with her siblings, to persistent
00:14speculation as to just what team she's playing for in the love department, here's the untold
00:19truth of Jana Duggar.
00:21The thing with Tim Tebow
00:24It's unusual for an NFL star to hook up with the lesser-known TLC reality star, but rumors
00:29swirled in 2014 that Jana and former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow were an item.
00:34The gossip reached a fever pitch after Jim Bob met Tebow's mother, Pat, at a charity event
00:38in 2014.
00:39At the time, the rumors made sense because Jana and Tebow were both deeply religious and are
00:44two years apart in age.
00:46Plus, many fans were right to think that Jim Bob might have tried to make a match through
00:50Pat since he set up his daughters before.
00:52But Tebow's rep shut down the rumor mill in December 2014, saying the two had never even
00:57met.
00:58The family spinster
00:59At a January 2018 event in Australia, Jim Bob seemingly mocked Jana for being single,
01:06in front of an entire church full of people.
01:08"...Jana is now 28 years old, and uh, still single, so she's still praying about the war
01:14and the war now."
01:16Unsurprisingly, many fans were outraged by the remark.
01:20One tweeted,
01:21We're half-surprised that Jim Bob Duggar hasn't tried to force Jana into an arranged marriage
01:25by now.
01:26In the rest of America other than on The Bachelor, being single at 28 is no big deal.
01:31And another chimed in,
01:32"...Attention, Jim Bob, your daughter is smart, beautiful, and has an amazing heart.
01:36Remember that before you go making fun of her for being 28 and single."
01:39Janna vs. Jessa
01:42Some fans might be shocked to learn that Jana and her younger sister Jessa kind of hated
01:47each other as kids.
01:48Things got so bad that Michelle forced the girls to share bunk beds, a story that was
01:52recounted in the Duggar sisters' book Growing Up Duggar.
01:55But Jessa, who was assigned the bottom bunk, would spend her nights kicking Janna's bed.
02:00As for the pair's relationship as adults, Jessa said on Counting On,
02:03"...we clashed heads a little bit when we were younger, but now that we're older, I don't
02:08know, like, we work together well."
02:10Chilling on those wedding bells
02:12Unlike her younger sisters, Jana isn't laser-focused on getting married.
02:16A source told Radar Online in January 2015,
02:19"...Janna has been pursued by several guys.
02:22She has never gotten to the courting phase with anyone, but she has spoken with interested
02:25men after church.
02:27Jana's extremely picky.
02:29She wants the real deal, and won't settle for less."
02:31"...I'm not just out to get married to the first one that comes along."
02:36The other romance rumors
02:39Celebs often face gossip about their orientation, and Jana Duggar is no exception.
02:44Fans speculate that Jana could be a lesbian, because of her longtime single status, a theory
02:48the reality star has never denied or confirmed.
02:51But people can't seem to let go of the idea that Jana is supposedly dating her best friend,
02:56Laura.
02:57Laura is often pictured with Jana, and she sometimes accompanies her on trips.
03:01Laura even tagged along when Jana flew to Texas to visit her younger sister, Ginger.
03:05In August 2017, a source told The Hollywood Gossip that Jana prefers the company of other
03:10women.
03:11Of course, Jana should do Jana, but only time will tell if these rumors are true.
03:15Is she leaving reality TV?
03:18In March 2015, a source told OK!
03:20Magazine that Jana might be leaving the Duggar house for good, alleging,
03:23"...she told her parents that she was looking at Christian colleges and would be applying
03:28soon.
03:29Jana knows she needs to get on with her education if she doesn't want to be stuck at her mom
03:32and dad's house in Arkansas for the rest of her life."
03:35The source went on to reveal that Jimbov supposedly tried to talk Jana out of leaving, and he might
03:39just have gotten his way.
03:41As of May 2018, Jana has yet to pursue a college education — kids, someday.
03:48Just because Jana isn't overly enthusiastic about love and marriage, it doesn't mean she's
03:52closed off to having kids someday.
03:54In March 2016, on Counting On, Jana revealed her five-year plan, saying,
03:58"...well, maybe, you know, I'll meet the one and get married and have kids and stuff."
04:04But right now, Jana's just fine with where she is.
04:07These days, she's,
04:08"...just being busy with where God has me right now and being content in this place."
