The news just came out that Joy-Anna Duggar is Engaged. She has been courting several months even though the fans just found out this week on the new episode of "Counting On." Austin Forsyth has been a friend of the Duggar family for fifteen years, but Joy-Anna shared that she got a lot closer to him since he started driving and could come around more.
Joy-Anna is holding hands now
It turns out that now that Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth are engaged they are holding hands. This is a big thing for the Duggars, and most of them don't do it until engaged.
They usually don't kiss until they are actually married and of course, save everything else for after the wedding.
Joy-Anna Duggar also shared a couple of details about their engagement. She revealed saying, "We were going to go horseback riding, and I decided to bring Johannah and Jennifer along because I knew that they would enjoy that, and they got to be the chaperones of this date and [it was so] awesome. This day was really, really special and then he asked me to marry him, and I said ‘Yes!’” She hasn't revealed yet if she knew it was coming, but sometimes they have an idea of course.
Of course, everyone knows that TLC probably had the cameras rolling for their engagement. Joy-Anna probably just thought they were along for her date.
The new season of "Counting On" is scheduled to air this summer on TLC. So far, they haven't given an exact date of when it will start airing, though.
Joy-Anna Duggar said that it was really romantic when he proposed, so this is one everyone wants to see. Now that they are engaged, they are holding hands. It sounds like this is the only thing that has changed for them so far.
They have been giving side hugs already, so the rest will probably wait until they are actually married. Joy and Austin haven't shared how soon they plan to tie the knot, but none of the Duggars have very long engagements, so it will probably happen pretty soon.
