As Duggar fans know all too well, Jana Duggar walks to the beat of her own drum. And now, according to RadarOnline.com, the Counting On star’s found a possible suitor who also breaks the mold, but papa Duggar may not be too happy with his “liberal” non-rule following ways.
For weeks now, Jana has been linked to a guy by the name of Caleb Williams, after the two were photographed at a Duggar family dinner together. “He’s been close friends with the family for many years,” a source close to Caleb told Radar. He even recently posted a photo holding Jana’s disgraced brother Josh’s four-week-old son, Mason.
While Caleb may be a Duggar family friend, the source said he doesn’t follow the same courtship rules, which could a big problem for Jana’s family.
When Radar asked if Caleb adheres to the Duggar’s strict rules of “dating,” such as moderate hand-holding, and timed side hugs, the insider admitted, “Not really.” The source also claimed that he attends a different denominational church than the Duggars, as he is a Baptist (a branch of the Christian church).

“Every religion has its own sects and groups,” the source explained. “They have similar belief systems, but he’s a bit different in his thinking. He’s maybe somewhat more liberal.” Dating a man with different courtship beliefs may not be a deal breaker for 27-year-old Jana, as another source previously told Radar that she is “forming her own path” when it comes to marriage.
The reality star was also linked to Caleb’s brother Jacob, however, he vehemently denied the dating rumors. “I just wanna say that this is total bunk,” he wrote in a Facebook post. “WE ARE NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP. We’ve been friends for 21 years and all of a sudden! BAM!
Could Caleb be the man she’s been waiting for? Sound off in the comments!
