Is former Counting On star Jana Duggar actually relieved she’s still single? Does she feel like she got lucky by not marrying as young as her siblings? A recently resurfaced clip seems to suggest she might be happy she’s still single.

If you’re a Duggar fan, you’ve probably heard that Jana is still single at 32 years old. Though 32 isn’t “old” by normal standards, many of the Duggar children have gotten married in their early twenties. Justin Duggar got hitched at just 18 years old.

For years, rumors have circulated. Some fans thought Jana might be interested in women, and due to her family’s religious beliefs, she was forced to stay single. Other fans thought she was dating anyone from NFL player Tim Tebow to Bringing Up Bates star Lawson Bates.

At 32, Jana Duggar is living at home with her parents and a few of her younger siblings. She doesn’t speak about her love life very often, but an old clip might hint at how she really feels about being single.

An old clip of Jana Duggar talking about her dating life resurfaces.

On Reddit, Duggar snarkers have reposted an old clip from an episode of TLC’s Counting On. In the scene, Jana Duggar is asked by her hairstylist about her single life. The hairstylist wonders whether she’s tired of being asked about her relationship status.

At the end of the clip, the eldest Duggar daughter says, “And I have been able to accomplish a lot of other things that maybe I wouldn’t have had I been married.”

One Duggar critic thinks that it sounds like Jana “she sees marriage as somewhat stifling.”

Someone else wonders if Jana has gotten a closer look at her siblings’ marriages and decided that’s not what she wants. The Duggar snarker says, “She obviously sees what we don’t; sisters and sisters in law probably confused, tired, frustrated, and not at all madly in love like they try to portray.”

Others speculate that Jana Duggar may not want children of her own after helping care for so many of her siblings, nieces, and nephews for most of her life. They think she might want to stay single until she’s out of her childbearing years. After all, she’s been responsible for other children since she was young.

Another critic adds, “Look at all the traveling she gets to do, she gets to spend her days gardening and doing projects for her sisters & friends homes. If she’d have married at 22 she’s probably have 5 or 6 kids by now.”

So, do you think this clip makes it seem like Jana Duggar is actually thankful that she gets to be single for a while? Or do you think she is unhappy but just tries to keep things positive? Share your thoughts in the comments section below. For more Duggar news, come back to TV Shows Ace.
