Jana currently lives in Tontitown, Arkansas, and, according to her Instagram, works as a home remodeler. Last year, sheopened upabout her relationship status and what she’s looking for in a partner during an episode ofCounting On.
“I used to be a little more strict,” she revealed at the time. “I felt like, I just want to find someone that would either move to Arkansas, or is already from here, but I think as time has gone on, I’ve found I do love to travel more than I thought I did. So now, it’s more like, okay, if I really love the guy, I’ll follow him to the ends of the earth. I’ll want to go wherever he is. So far I just haven’t found that one.”
While eight of her 18 siblings are married, Jana said that she was perfectly content being single. She also revealed that she often gets questions about why she hasn’t found the one.
“Most of my siblings have gotten married really young,” she said. “Some people are like, ‘Are you picky?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t think so.’ "
Jana said she’s relaxed her must-haves — and is open to relocating for the right guy. “When he comes, he doesn’t have to stay in Arkansas,” she admitted. “It’s just that I’ve got to love you so much that I will go with you.”
