Are Jana and Jill friends again?
In August, Jana Duggar married Stephen Wissmann with zero public notice. Sister Jill Duggar did attend the wedding despite her documented estrangement from some of her family.
But attending a wedding doesn’t always mean that everything’s good. Especially when the guest list is around 500.
How do things stand between Jana and Jill Duggar these days?
Where do things stand between Jana Duggar and Jill Duggar?
On August 15, Jana Duggar married Stephen Wissmann.
Longtime Duggar-watchers (not all of whom are “fans”) had all but written off Jana, wondering if anyone compatible with the family’s fundamentalist cult would marry someone as “old” as the 34-year-old eldest daughter.
But Jana clearly broke multiple Duggar rules. She and Stephen had an engagement. And they seemed incredibly familiar with each other before their nuptials. Even her wedding gown deviated from the cult.
This is relevant because Jana has been the obedient, overly-put-upon eldest daughter for so long. She seemed totally under Jim Bob’s thumb, not even marrying — many assumed — because Jim Bob and Michelle demanded that she continue to provide childcare.
Now? Now fans are starting to wonder if Jana’s taste of rule-breaking is bringing her closer to Jill.
After all, Jill has been the “black sheep” of the sisters for years. Maybe Jana seeing what freedom feels like (relatively speaking) is helping her to understand why Jill broke away from Jim Bob’s control.
Which siblings avoid Jill Duggar? Has Jana changed her tune?
In her memoir, Jill doesn’t really specify who among her toxic family avoids her altogether.
Recently, Reddit denizens discussed the idea of whether the newly “liberated” Jana might feel more open to chatting with Jill.
Maybe she didn’t understand Jill before — but does now.
