The Duggars Update: Reality TV Family on the Fence with Jinger-Jeremy Engagement
The famous Duggar family members of "19 Kids and Counting" are feeling unsettled, to some extent, with Jinger Duggar's engagement to Jeremy Vuolo.
Jinger, who is the focus of the new season of "Counting On," accepted Vuolo's proposal five weeks after courtship. Even by the Duggar ideals, the couple's relationship is escalating way too fast, says The Hollywood Gossip.
One of the 22-year-old reality starlet's sisters, Jessa, is extremely vocal about her reservations on the relationship. For those watching Mrs. Seewald candidly expressed her apprehensions in the latest episode of "Counting On."
Jessa admitted that Jeremy is a good friend of her husband, Ben. But as she was doing her spiel on camera, the 23-year old Duggar revealed that "Now Jeremy's getting to know my sister. It's kinda crazy. It feels kinda too fast sometimes for me."
The Duggar head, Jim Bob, also openly talked about his concerns about his daughter's engagement to the former soccer player. This is why when he and Jinger visited Jeremy on his Texas hometown, the protective father held nothing back, She Knows reported.
One of Daddy Jim's main concerns is whether Jeremy could support Jinger's lavish lifestyle. This Duggar daughter is known for her shopping habits. Jim Bob also made his opinion known regarding the 29-year-old pastor's unwillingness to move to Arkansas and then went on to continue that the young couple is moving too quickly.
Mr. Duggar later said in an interview, "I just don't think they're at the place to swap spit yet."
It is not clear whether, Jim Bob is in fact worried about the timing of the relationship or he has qualms about Jeremy. It should be noted that both Jill and Jessa had also gone through brief relationships and engagements before settling down and in both instances, their father supported them all the way. This time, the 51-year-old real estate agent could not be a hundred percent supportive to Jinger.
However, whether the Duggars approve or not, Jinger is set on marrying Vuolo and has even made a trip back to Texas with a few of her sisters in search of a wedding venue.
