The Duggar and Bates families
Fans of the Duggars might know that the family is close with the Bates family. The Bates family appeared on UPtv’s Bringing Up Bates, which showcased the family’s life. The Bates family has 19 kids like the Duggar family does. The most recent season of Bringing Up Bates aired in 2019.
Fans of TLC’s Counting On may also be familiar with the rumors surrounding Lawson Bates and Jana Duggar. Though the rumors have been denied, fans have been hopeful that Lawson and Jana will begin courting. At this point, this relationship has yet to be confirmed. Fans still comment on Jana’s posts regularly and ask about the potential courtship.
When Joy-Anna Forsyth tragically lost her baby girl at 20 weeks gestation, her friend Carlin Bates was there to support her. She even did Joy-Anna’s hair and makeup in preparation for some intimate pictures after the loss.
Those who have watched 19 Kids & Counting and Counting On might recognize the Bates family. They have been family friends for years. Based on the recent reunion in Florida, it seems like they are still very close.
