Looks like another '19 Kids and Counting' star is hearing wedding bells. Jessa Duggar recently took to Instagram to reveal that his brother Josiah is already courting.

The 18-year-old reality star may be the next in line in the pious siblings to tie the knot, as he is already in the process of courting his ladylove.

On Monday, Jessa Seewald, 22, shared a meaningful post on Instagram with a photo showing her brother Josiah and his girlfriend Marjorie.

"Another Duggar is courting! Congrats to my bro Si and his girlfriend Marjorie!" Jessa wrote, alongside the photo.

In the snap, Josiah and Marjorie could be seen flashing smiles. Marjorie is holding a bouquet of flowers, which is obviously from the man courting her.

Jill Duggar, 23, also shared Jessa's post and commented, "So excited for my brother @siduggar and Marjorie Jackson on their courtship!"

Sources told People that Josiah began courting Marjorie on April 6 - the day his sister Jill and Derick Dillard had their first child, a son named Israel David Dillard.

"It's been going very well ... I met Marjorie a few years ago, when I was taking Spanish lessons at her house," Josiah said. "...and I was very impressed with the way she was with her siblings and her love for the Lord."

He then added, "She really caught my eye ... That is really where I noticed her."

Marjorie Jackson, 17, is the eldest in a family of five girls. Sources say the beautiful teenage is a pianist, a published author and an actress.

"For me it was an immediate thing," Marjorie gushed on meeting her boyfriend. "I have always admired him and his family."

As for the courting process, parents Michelle Duggar and Jim Bob told Us Weekly in 2014 that their kids are allowed to go on chaperoned dates and that the only physical contact they approve is the "side hug."

"Courtship is really getting to know each other for the purpose of possibly getting engaged and getting married," Jim Bob explained.
