Jinger Duggar may be courting another reality TV star from a huge family.

The 21-year-old has been linked to Lawson Bates after recent pictures of the two together - at her cousin Amy's wedding and later at his home in Tennessee - surfaced.

Jinger also drove the entire Duggar family up to the Bates's home last month for the wedding of Lawson's sister Michaella to Brandon Keilen.

Jinger and Lawson (circled) were also photographed together at Amy Duggar's wedding earlier this month

Clue? Lawson shared this photo of himself on the same day the entire Duggar family dressed up like pirates

News of Jinger and Lawson courting would be a bright spot for the Duggar family, who are still dealing with the fallout from Jinger's brother Josh's multiple affairs and pornography addiction, which were revealed in the wake of the recent Ashley Madison hack.

Jinger, an aspiring photographer, has always been one of the most independent and free spirited of the Duggar children, while Lawson, 23, hopes to become a country singer.

The Bates family are members of the same church as the Duggars and also have 19 children.

Lawson and his family are featured on their own reality show Bringing Up Bates, which is similar to 19 Kids and Counting.

That show was cancelled by TLC executives after it was revealed Josh had molested five minors as a teenager, including four of his siblings.

Only two of those siblings have been named - Jill and Jessa.

Jinger and Lawson may have also had a date in Arkansas recently. Shortly after the family posted photos of themselves dressed up in pirate costumes on September 19 to go get free Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Lawson wrote on Twitter; 'Back to reality ... #NoMorePirate.'

In early September, Lawson also attended a football game in Arkansas with the Duggar boys, including Josh's son Michael soon after he was sent away to rehab.

The game was on the same day that Lawson's brother had his police graduation as well, meaning that he choose instead to spend the day with the Duggar family during what was a very difficult time for them and Jinger.

Of the 19 Duggar children, three are married - Josh, Jill and Jessa - but none have been courting of recent.

Josiah, 18, had been seeing Marjorie Jackson, 17, earlier this year, but the pair split following Josh's scandal.

Josh's marriage to Anna is still solid, according to multiple sources close to the family, and the pair plan on staying together after he finishes his faith-based rehab program in Illinois.
