“I moved in here a few years ago, and over time, I’ve just worked on this place, making it a little bit my own,” Duggar, 34, said in a recent YouTube tour of her tiny house. “This building used to be one of the city’s temporary office buildings [and] so we got a really good deal on it. They were auctioning it off.”

Jana is one of the eldest children of and, whose life was chronicled on TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting and its Counting On spinoff. As part of their strict upbringing, kids typically do not move out of the large Arkansas family home until they get married.

In recent years, Jana has taken a step back from the spotlight. Her July social media post offered a rare glimpse at her new life in her own home.

“I’m not that worried. Yes, I long to be married and one day I think that will come,” Jana exclusively told Us in July 2020. “I think … I’m just also just trying to stay busy with whatever comes along my path.”

Despite “pressure” to settle down, Jana has tried to “make the most” of her single years.

“I think if I sit there and I’m like, ‘Oh, no, I’m not married’ and just [get] all worried about it, it makes things way worse,” she said at the time, hoping to find a love like her parents. “They’re quick to forgive and to make, really try to make things right. The genuine love that they still have for one another … this young love and they still have that, you know, today. I think that’s rare to see couples that are their age and been married that long.”
