Bringing Up Bates’ Lawson quickly saw the invitation and wanted to make sure he understood it correctly.
He left a flirty response, writing: “Post objective / instruction unclear: pls explain further 😂💭.”
Jana recently shared that she feels “a little more pressure” to find a husband because all of her adult sisters — Joy-Anna, 22, Jinger, 26, Jessa, 27, and Jill, 29 — are married, and she’s the only single one left.
Though a “number of guys” have previously courted Jana, she never shared their identities because they never worked out.
