'19 Kids And Counting' Josiah Duggar Engaged to 17-Year-Old? Nope, But He's Courting Her

Jill and Jessa Duggar are not the only Duggars making headlines! Word has it that 18-year old Josiah Duggar, has finally found love!

MStarz reported that Josiah began courting 17-year old Marjorie Jackson just last week, April 6. Coincidentally, the younger Duggar pursued a new love the same day sister, Jill, gave birth to son, Israel David.

Marjorie and Josiah met when the latter learned Spanish from his new love's mom, Analucia. Josiah could not help but gush over his newfound lady-love. He told People magazine that, "It's been going very well. I met Marjorie a few years ago, when I was taking Spanish lessons at her house, and I was very impressed with the way she was with her siblings and her love for the Lord."

Marjorie only had mutual feelings for Jill and Jessa's brother, saying, "I met him at Spanish class a few years back. For me it was an immediate thing. I have always admired him and his family."

Chemistry surrounded Josiah and Marjorie while on a goodwill trip to El Salvador. While together on a trip, Josiah realized then that he really would like to court Marjorie. He said, "She really caught my eye. That is really where I noticed her."

US Magazine revealed that sisters Jill and Jessa expressed their happiness over their brother's newfound love.

Jessa Duggar posted a photo of Josiah and Marjorie in social media. She captioned the photo, "Another Duggar is courting! Congrats to my bro Si and his girlfriend Marjorie!"

Meanwhile, sister Jill also posted a photo which she captioned: "So excited for my brother @siduggar and Marjorie Jackson on their courtship! #courtship #siduggar #marjoriejackson #duggarfam #UncleSi."

Meanwhile, Josiah's parents, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, have been over the moon after their new grandson arrived.

The "19 Kids and Counting" couple posted these messages on their official blog, "Yeah!!! Our sweet new grandson, Israel David Dillard is here. We love him so much already and we love his name!"

"Our Jill is doing wonderful and Derick seems to have a permanent smile on his face now! Israel is precious and his arrival is just another reminder of how very precious life is and how every child is a gift from God. We are happy grandparents!"
