Rumors about a budding romance between "19 Kids and Counting" star Jinger Duggar and "Growing Up Bates" star Lawson Bates, has been making rounds online, but is allegedly causing a rift between Jinger and sister Jana.
It was recently reported that the 21-year-old Duggar is dating the hunky reality star and they were together for an Arkansas Razorbacks-Tennessee Volunteers game in Knoxville on Oct. 3, which Jinger spent with her sister Joy-Anna and brother John-David. They also got the chance to visit their brother Joseph who is attending school at Crown College near the area, Radar Online reported.
Reports reveal that Bates posted a photo of him and Jinger sitting together but was deleted afterwards. He also posted a photo where in Jinger was photobombing while he is taking a picture with an Asian friend.
Back in September, during Amy Duggar's wedding, the two were seen in a photo beside each other which increased speculations that they are indeed secretly dating. Fans were asking about the relationship of the two and were commenting that they look good together as a couple.
The issue of the two being romantically linked with each other wasn't confirmed nor denied by both the Duggars and the Bates.
But prior to the rumors about Jinger dating Bates, it was her sister Jana who first had a connection with the hunky Bates. Jana was said to be courting Lawson since her involvement with Lawson's older brother Zach didn't work out, She Knows reported.
Because Lawson's eyes are only on Jinger now, it could be causing a drama between the sisters, especially that 25-year-old Jana is said to be very eager to marry and leave her huge family.
Aside from their large families, the lady Duggar and the Bates gentleman have plenty in common — from their conservative, religious backgrounds to their experience on reality TV, Wet Paint wrote.
