Jinger Duggar Is Officially Engaged to a Super-Hot Soccer Player
After six months of courting, 19 Kids and Counting's Jinger Duggar is officially engaged to former professional soccer player Jeremy Vuolo.
"From both of us, thank you all for the countless well-wishes we've received during the courtship," the couple said in a statement to People. "We are so excited to take this next step in spending our lives together. We are so grateful for how the Lord has brought us together. It has been an incredible journey so far and we are excited about serving Christ together in the coming days."
According to People, the pair first met via Jinger's sister Jessa and her husband Ben Seewald, and began to get to know one another through multiple mission trips. Jeremy then expressed his interest in Jinger to her parents last December and popped the question in June.
"Wow, where did the time go? Sweet little Jinger is now grown up and engaged," Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar wrote on the family's blog. "We are so happy for them both. Above all, we are so grateful for their love and commitment to Christ. We are so excited about another Duggar wedding! We know that wonderful days are ahead for Jinger and Jeremy and we are looking forward to every moment! Our entire family rejoices!"
Their courting and subsequent engagement will play a huge part of the new season of Counting On, which premieres Aug. 23 at 8 p.m. ET on TLC. So if you're in the mood for love, this season is definitely going to be a must-watch.
