Jinger Duggar may have found herself a boyfriend.

The 21-year-old former 19 Kids and Counting star has been seen with Bringing Up Bates reality show star, William "Lawson" Bates, sparking rumors that she is courting him.  

ET has learned that when her cousin, Amy (Duggar) King, came back from her honeymoon in Cancun, she immediately questioned Jinger about the alleged romance, asking, "Girlfriend, What’s this about you being in love?" 

Jinger simply laughed it off and said, "Rumors are rumors!"

The courting rumors between the sixth Duggar child, and Lawson may not be fully confirmed, but they have certainly been spending a lot of time together and even stood side-by-side in a family photo taken at Amy's wedding to Dillon King.

Lawson, 23, even tweeted a picture of him and his friend where Jinger could be seen playfully photobombing them in the background.

The two also reportedly had a date in Arkansas shortly after an event where the Duggars dressed as pirates for free Krispy Kreme donuts. Lawson later tweeted a photo of himself with the caption, "Back to reality… #NoMorePirate."

If the rumors are true, Lawson would be Jinger's first boyfriend.

This would be some happy news for the Duggars as they deal with the cancellation of the their TLC show, 19 Kids and Counting, and allegations of cheating and child molestation against the family’s oldest son, Josh Duggar. Watch the video below to see how the family has been handling all of the accusations.
