Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Jeremiah Duggar is the eleventh of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's 19 children, and one of their second set of twins (via the Duggar Family website). His twin brother, Jedidiah, got married in 2021 to Katey Nakatsu, and they are expecting their first baby in the spring of 2022, In Touch Weekly reported. 

The proposal comes just a little over two months after Jeremiah and Wissmann came out publicly as a couple. At the time, Duggar wrote in part, "We are excited to start sharing our story with all of you and to see what God has in store for our future." 

As followers of the Duggar's know, the family belongs to a very conservative Christian program that rejects dating in favor of "courtship." The procedure involves supervised outings, the approval of the woman's father, and a goal of marriage (via Today). Jeremiah's married brothers and sisters have followed similar paths, and most have gotten engaged not long after the beginning of the courtship.

No wedding date has been announced, but the Duggar children tend to wed not long after an engagement is announced. No doubt the family is pleased to be able to focus on some happy news after a difficult year that saw oldest son Josh convicted of downloading and possessing child sexual abuse material (via NBC News), and daughter Jana fined for child endangerment related to a babysitting incident, per Us Weekly
