Miss Independent! Find out Where Jana Duggar Is Now After ‘Shiny Happy People’ Documentary

Staying out of it. Jana Duggar, the second oldest child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, has kept quiet following the release of Amazon Prime Video’s Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets documentary, in which sister Jill Dillard (née Duggar) and cousin Amy King (née Duggar) expose the abuse and control the Duggar kids experienced growing up. While other family members have shared their thoughts on the four-part series, Jana hasn’t spoken out, leading many fans to wonder what she’s been up to recently.

Is Jana Duggar Married?

Many of Jana’s 18 siblings have gone through the process of courting and getting married, as seen on the Duggar family’s now-defunct TLC shows, 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On. Despite being the second oldest child, though, Jana has remained single. There were rumors in January 2021 that she had been courting a pilot from Nebraska named Stephen Wissman, but the whispers fizzled out.

Fans shouldn’t worry about Jana’s relationship status, though. She basically said as much in a September 2020 episode of Counting On.

“Sometimes it can get a little, like, what? It’s not the only thing in the world to talk about,” she insisted while addressing fans’ interest in her love life and her singlehood. “As for now it’s nice, I get to do a lot of different things.”

Still, that doesn’t mean she isn’t hoping for love someday. Jana later said, “I mean, I wouldn’t mind it. There are those moments with, like, all the different couples are hanging out.”

Where Does Jana Duggar Live Now?

Jana is still living at the Duggar family compound owned by her parents in Tontitown, Arkansas. Jim Bob and Michelle once revealed on Counting On that their kids were allowed to move out once they reached 18 years old, but some, including Jana, have decided to stay and save money. Jana also explained to a fan in 2019 that she had no issues bunking with her younger sisters as an adult.

“Actually, I’ve had the choice to move to another room but love being in the girls’ room with my sisters!” she wrote. “The evenings are the best. We sit around talking and catching up on each others’ [days].”

However, since then, Jana has reportedly moved out of the main house and into a tiny home on the property. This way, she has her own space.
