Who Is Jana Duggar’s Husband Stephen Wissmann? All We Know About Him

by

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the nuances of family dynamics, I must say that Jana Duggar’s wedding to Stephen Wissmann is a beautiful testament to love, patience, and the power of perseverance. Having grown up in large families myself, I can relate to the unique challenges and joys that come with being part of such a close-knit group.

On August 15, 2024, star of reality TV show “19 Kids and Counting”, Jana Duggar, got married to Stephen Wissmann in a modest yet graceful wedding held in Prairie Groves, Arkansas. At the age of 34, Jana is the eldest child of the well-known Duggar family.

Reflecting on a cherished dream, I find myself almost disbelieving as it begins to materialize before my eyes. Just like every little girl imagines, this has been something I’ve longed for, and for years, I thought it would remain just that – a dream. But now, as reality gently seeps in, I can’t help but marvel at the beauty of it all. It’s surreal, almost unbelievable, yet it’s happening; it’s my dream coming true.

On June 15th, I was blessed to take the traditional vows with my partner at The Grand at Willow Springs, in the presence of 500 joyful souls. My dear sister Jessa Duggar Seewald served as the maid of honor, while my sister-in-law Abbie Duggar, along with Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johannah Duggar, Jinger Duggar Vuolo, and Jordyn Duggar graced the occasion as my bridesmaids.

During the same interview with People magazine, Jana revealed that she felt Stephen was her “one” due to his exceptional character. She elaborated, “I believe it’s been accumulated over time – his character, his persistence, and his unwavering love towards me. Even with our large, chaotic family, there are not many people who can endure that. I think, ‘Wow, there aren’t too many people who would stick around for all of this.’ It’s clear to me now: he truly, in my opinion, cares deeply for me.”

The pair experienced many highs and lows throughout their romance. Jana disclosed that they initially dated and separated a while ago prior to their wedding, only to find lasting love again when they rekindled their relationship in the beginning of 2024.

Who is Jana Duggar’s husband?

Like Jana, Stephen also grew up in a large family with 13 siblings in Milford, Neb.

Stephen Wissmann belongs to a special kind of band – it’s his very own family band! His parents Loren and Gloria, who tied the knot in 1980, founded The Wissmanns, their Christian/Gospel family ensemble. Comprising all 13 of their children, this talented family has been gracing audiences since 1999. You can find them at church services, festivals, and Christian schools today.

According to his profile on the Wissmann family website, Stephen is a private pilot who dabbles in furniture-making from time to time. He’s also skilled at playing the guitar, mandolin, and leads both the lead and bass vocals in his family band. Additionally, he plays a significant role within the Wissmann family business as the Assistant Manager.

Just as Jana, Stephen is deeply involved in his church community and they both view their faith as a significant influence on their relationship. In addition to this, Stephen serves as a minister at the East Fairview Mennonite Church in Milford, Nebraska, where he holds the roles of pastor and Bible study leader.

Jana and Stephen first encountered each other through their families well before romantic feelings developed. Yet, they didn’t start a relationship initially. Their romantic connection grew stronger when Jana’s brother Jeremiah Duggar tied the knot with Stephen’s sister Hannah Wissman in 2022, which eventually led to love between them.

Additionally, it was disclosed that Jana intends to relocate to Nebraska following her wedding, joining Stephen there as they embark on their new journey as a married couple.

Jana and her family gained public attention through the TLC reality series titled “19 Kids and Counting.” This program offered a glimpse into the everyday lives of Jim Bob, Michelle Duggar, and their 19 children, all sharing names starting with ‘J’. The show first aired in 2008 but was discontinued in 2015 following several scandals.
