Star of 19 Kids and Counting, Josiah Duggar, broke up with his 17-year-old girlfriend Marjorie Jackson ending their courting after several months.
According to a statement on Facebook from 18-year-old Josiah’s parents, “Both Josiah and Marjorie have enjoyed getting to know each other and to build their friendship over the past months. We are so grateful that they each are seeking the Lord’s will for their future. A few weeks ago Marjorie and Josiah agreed to end their courtship, keeping in step with what they believe the Lord’s will is. Both are thankful for the time getting to know each other, and their families continue to enjoy each other’s company and close friendship. As parents we are very pleased to see two young people searching out their futures with God’s will as their first priority!”
Duggar often posted pictures to his Instagram account with his girlfriend, including the two at Silver Dollar City Attractions in Branson, MO with their families.
The couple posted a video in April confirming their new relationship on TLC’s website. They began their courting on the same day Josiah’s sister Jill Duggar welcomed her first child, Israel David with her husband Derick Dillard.
