While the couple announced their pregnancy in August 2025, they officially tied the knot a year earlier, in August 2024, as reported by The Blast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The eldest of the Duggar clan exchanged vows with Stephen in Prairie Grove, Arkansas. Jana looked radiant in an ivory satin gown as she walked down the aisle with her father, Jim Bob Duggar, while the hymn \u201cHoly, Holy, Holy\u201d played in the background.<\/p>\n

The newlyweds opted for a simple yet elegant theme, allowing the beauty of the venue to take center stage. Both Jana and Stephen, who come from a large family of 13 siblings, made it a priority to honor their loved ones throughout the celebration.<\/p>\n

After exchanging traditional vows and lighting a unity candle, the couple celebrated with 500 guests at the reception. <\/p>\n

Jana\u2019s frequent presence on social media was notably absent in 2022, following reports of a child endangerment incident. She later re-emerged in 2024, reassuring fans that she was doing well.<\/p>\n

Her social media return came two years after rumors surfaced alleging she had been arrested. At the time, Jana addressed the viral speculation on her Instagram Story with a detailed statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m only sharing this because the media has been having a field day with it all. I prefer a more private life, but I know my last name means that everything we do is open to public criticism and interest, especially during this time,\u201d the 34-year-old wrote.<\/p>\n

She went on to explain that authorities determined the incident was simply a case of a \u201cchild slipping out of the house when you turn your back for a moment,\u201d per The Blast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The TLC alum was reportedly issued a $430 fine connected to the citation, which she was not required to pay until her court hearing on January 10, 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n
