Fans Are 'So Happy' for Jana Duggar in New Video Front-Hugging and Holding Hands With Stephen Wissmann
On Aug. 15, former Counting On star Jana Duggar married Stephen Wissmann. They said "I do" before ever going public with their relationship—but recently, the eldest Duggar daughter published a YouTube video featuring her beau.
And fans are "so happy" for the newlywed after seeing clips of Duggar, 34, front-hugging and holding hands with Wissmann, 31.
On Saturday, Aug. 24, Duggar posted a new video on her YouTube Channel titled "Surprising My Boyfriend at Work!" The second-oldest child of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar shared footage of herself and some of her younger siblings driving to Wissmann's work site and attempting to locate him unannounced.
As soon as Jana's then-boyfriend spotted her, the couple embraced in a long frontal hug—which would have been a scandal is she wasn't in her 30s, as Duggar kids are only permitted to side-hug while courting before marriage.
The video then cut to a clip of Wissmann driving while sweetly holding hands with Jana, another Duggar no-no (unless they were already engaged).
"Had so much fun hanging out with him!" Jana captioned the video while sharing photos and footage of their hangout. "Lots of quality time and fun memories!"
She later added, "He lights up my world."
In one particularly adorable clip video from the visit, Wissmann jokingly knelt on one knee to "propose" to Jana with a Ring Pop. (She said yes.)
At the end of her YouTube update, Jana teased that a renovation video for her and Wissmann's home together would be coming soon.
In the comments, fans expressed how thrilled they were for Jana during this new chapter of her life.
One YouTube user wrote, "I am so, so happy for you Jana. It’s funny how you can be so happy for someone you’ve never met! our wedding was absolutely stunning in every way. I wish you and Stephen all the happiness in the world."
Someone else teased, "front hugs and holding hands?!? I am so happy for you two!!"
"I love that he’s waited for you for years and years and now you are a happy couple! Congrats! He has a great smile!" another fan shared.
Meanwhile, a different YouTuber declared, "I am SO happy she found her person!"
