’19 Kids and Counting’ Cast News: Jana Duggar Reportedly Plans to Leave Show; Ben Seewald Wants Her to Marry Tim Tebow
TLC may have to change the name of their hit reality TV show to "18 Kids and Counting" because Jana Duggar plans to leave, reports Radar Online.
The Duggars' eldest daughter is breaking family tradition by leaving the nest as a single woman because she's tired of being an unpaid babysitter, does not want to get married and wants to pursue her own life dreams, according to Radar Online.
OK! Magazine confirms that 25-year-old Jana has decided not to follow in Jill and Jessa Duggar's footsteps by marrying as a way out of the family home. Jana is talking with her parents about leaving to attend college.
A source has revealed to OK! Magazine that Jana told her parents she is about to start applying to Christian colleges. Jana is a talented pianist, so any Christian school with a music program would likely be a great fit.
Jim Bob is reportedly trying to talk his daughter out of attending college. The OK! source says that this is Jana's first attempt at asserting herself with the family patriarch so there's a chance she could back down after facing off with her father. "19 Kids and Counting" fans will have to stay tuned.
Jana's lack of a love life is serious business -- if Jim Bob forbids her from going to college she will need to marry to escape more babysitting duty.
Rumors started last year that Jana could be dating Tim Tebow, 27. In a recent People Magazine interview, Ben Seewald renewed the rumors when he said that he wants Jana to marry the SEC Analyst and former NFL quarterback.
"He'd be a great addition to the family," Seewald said.
Unfortunately, Jana and Tebow have not even met.
The only man known to have dated Jana was "Bringing Up Bates" star Zach Bates, 25, who attempted to court her before meeting his wife Whitney Perkins in 2013. Radar Online reported that the pair went on a couple of secret chaperoned dates and Zach asked Jana's father for permission to officially court her.
Although Jim Bob approved, Jana wasn't interested. A source told Radar Online that Jana simply wasn't attracted to Zach.
