When a new Duggar courtship was teased on Counting On, plenty of fans’ money/hopes/dreams were on Jana Duggar. Instead, it was revealed to be one of the older Duggar sons, Justin Duggar, who is old enough to get engaged in the next year or so. Fans eventually found out that Justin was dating, or courting, a girl by the name of Claire Spivey who was introduced first on TLCme and teased to be a part of the Sept. 22, 2020 episode, titled “A Quarantine Courtship.”
Now, he and Claire are engaged!
Just like the time Josh Duggar courted his now-wife, Anna Duggar, fans and those who snark on the show alike are curious about this Duggar outsider who will soon be a major part of the family. It’s normal for the adult Duggar children to announce a courtship or new baby on the way more than once each year, but every time there’s a new relationship, fans are equally as curious about future Duggar spouses.
Who is Justin Duggar’s fiancée, Claire Spivey?
Although Claire doesn’t come from a family with reality TV experience, her family was close to the Duggars long before she and Justin became a thing. In fact, she revealed in a TLCme video that her family knew the Duggars for 20 years before she and Justin started courting. So it should come as no big shock that Claire’s family shares similar religious beliefs and values and that she comes from a family with six kids.

It’s certainly a lot by normal standards, even if it still pales in comparison to the Duggar brood. Before their courtship, Claire didn’t have an Instagram, but shortly after the announcement came, she started one, which is already being followed by a handful of Justin’s older sisters. And in Claire’s first post, she shared pictures of her and Justin together with a lengthy caption as a testament to their love.

“He is the most tenderhearted person, and every moment spent with him is treasured. I’m so thankful for the man of God that he is,” Claire wrote. “Whether we are in person, or long distance, he cherishes and loves me unconditionally. His example to me and all he meets, is unlike any other. I am the most blessed woman on earth to be in a relationship [with] you. I’ll love you forever.”
