Despite the two denying claims, the rumors saying that Tim Tebow and Jana Duggar are currently dating are once again set ablaze.
Since late 2014, rumors surfaced that the former NFL quarterback and reality TV star were dating, based on a report by Sports World News. However, the two stars are still denying that they are going out. Previously, Tebow said that he has never even met Jana.
Duggar is the eldest daughter of the Duggar family, the huge Christian family that appears in the reality TV show on TLC "19 Kids and Counting!" Jana's dad is Jim Bob Duggar, who is friends with Tebow's mother and openly shared his intention to match the former Bronco with his daughter. The talks about the matchup started after Jim Bob met Pam Tebow, Tim's mom, at a fundraising event in Arkansas. Jim Bob said that despite his plans, the ultimate decision remains with his children as to who they wish to marry.
The rumors quieted in the past few months after both Tebow and Duggar denied that they were dating. Tebow was even spotted partying during the Super Bowl XLIX celebration. However, when Ben Seewald, Jana's brother-in-law, mentioned Tebow in a recent interview, fans again speculated that there might be relationship truly brewing between the Heisman trophy winner and Jana.
Ben said during the interview, in a report by People magazine, "He'd be a great addition to the family."
He continued, "Having a former quarterback in the family would be a great advantage to the occasional football game between teams in the Duggar clan, Ben added.
Ben said, "I'd definitely have him on my team. We'd win every time."
Ben is married to Jim Bob's third daughter, Jessa, 22.
Another Duggar family member shared that even though Jana and Tim never met, he has been a topic of a few of their conversations, based on a report by Radar Online.
Earlier in December 2014 when rumors surfaced that Jana and Tim may be going out, Jana's cousin Amy Duggar posted on Instagram, "Looks like the tabloids are at it again!"
Amy added that she and Jana "laughed so hard" about the news, especially because Jana confirmed that she never met Tim in person. Amy concluded her post with the hashtag "#allsmilesnodrama".
Jana is currently 25 years old while Tim is 27 and is working as a SEC Analyst on ESPN.
The Duggar family is not giving up hopes that their eldest may one day be paired with the debonair.
