‘Bringing Up Bates’ Duggar Girls Go To Special Bates Event, Courting Announcement Soon?
Bringing Up Bates stars Gil and Kelly Jo Bates have been living their best lives despite the cancellation of their show. Many fans have watched the married couple raise their 19 children, similar to their long-time family friends, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. Both families follow the same standards, but many were surprised that there was never a courtship between them. However, some fans think it may soon change following a special guesting of several Duggars at the Bates’ family event. Keep reading to see what happened.
Bringing Up Bates: Why A Bates-Duggar Courtship Never Happened?
The Bates and Duggar families have been very close friends. They both had their own shows and are considered some of TLC’s most popular reality TV families. Several adults still spend time with each other today. However, many Bringing Up Bates and Counting On fans were curious about why a courtship never happened between both families.
There were speculations that Gil never wanted his kids to be tied with any members of the Duggar family due to their scandals revolving around Josh. Others also believe that Gil wanted his daughters to marry someone who has a real job, which is something that many Duggar boys didn’t have at the time.
Duggar Girls Go To Special Bates Event, Courting Announcement Soon?
Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media discussed the sightings of several Duggar family members at the Bates family’s “I Love You Day.” Jennifer, Johannah, and Jordyn can be seen in the photo. It’s unclear if they’re with other family members, especially considering their distance from their home. But some fans began to speculate if the trio’s appearance also means that one of them is preparing to court someone from the Bates family.
Many commenters think Warden is the next to enter courtship. He previously had a relationship with a woman named Taylor Maples, but they called it quits after months of dating. Johannah just turned 18, and some think there’s a possibility that there’s already something going on between her and Warden.
- “Wow, I thought Hannie was Joy at first. I never realized how much they look alike.”
- “Duggar x Bates would be WILD if it actually happened. I guess it’s not out of the question… a lot of those forgotten ones are similar ages.”
- “Warden wants him someone that’ll be wearing jeans and drinking jack n cokes on the low.”
- “They could have travelled with Nathan and Esther perhaps, since they live in Arkansas?”
Bringing Up Bates: Warden Bates Won Biggest Heart Award This Year
Despite all the setbacks, Kelly Jo Bates revealed that this year’s “I Love You Day” was memorable. Jackson and Emerson announced that they’re expecting their first child. Some members of the family wore costumes from the 1950s. But what caught the attention of many Bringing Up Bates fans was Warden winning this year’s “Biggest Heart Award.”
Warden Bates has made quite a reputation due to this rebellious personality. He’s had numerous fake tattoos and is often seen liking photos of random women with revealing clothes.
