It could be courting time for Counting On kid Jason Duggar!
He turned 18 on Saturday, April 21, and his family celebrated with a birthday party for him.
Now, fans wonder if Jason will be the next Duggar to find a spouse at a young age.
Jason's folks Jim Bob and Michelle shared a photo on Instagram with Jason behind a huge birthday cake with an "18" candle on it.
His parents wrote as a caption, "Jason! The big 18! We love you so much! You have a very bright future ahead because of your commitment to Christ and your kind way of caring for and serving others.
We love the great example you are for your younger brothers and sisters. We are thankful for so many wonderful memories and the exciting days to come! It was a lot of fun to celebrate you with family and friends at your early birthday party."
Also in the photo, fans could glimpse family members mingling in the background, including mom Michelle and Jason's sisters Jessa, Joy-Anna, and his grandmother, Mary.
As RadarOnline.com readers know, the ultra religious Duggars marry young and Jason's sister Joy-Anna, 20, was hit with a shotgun wedding scandal over her marriage to Austin Forsyth.
Now Jason is legal and ready to do the side hug —or more?
As one fan opined on Instagram, "I wonder when he'll be announcing his courtship and subsequent engagement."
Another Duggar watcher noted, "Next week they will announce he's courting, three months later the wedding. Two months after the baby announcement."
Viewers of the Duggar family shows 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On have watched Jason grow up on TV.
As RadarOnline.com reported in 2011, Jason had a traumatic 12-foot fall into an orchestra pit and had to be rushed to the hospital, which was shown on a 19 Kids episode. But he wound up fine and is now ready for a lucky young lady!
