Jana Duggar’s “glimpse” inside life with Stephen Wissmann was a pre-wedding video moment: in footage reported by E! in August 2024, Jana surprised Stephen at work, then shared everyday activities and a playful Ring Pop proposal. The video was posted after the couple married on August 15, 2024, but the reported scenes were filmed beforehand. Since then, they have welcomed their first child, son Archie Gerald Wissmann, born December 30, 2025.
What Jana’s video showed
E! reported that Jana visited Stephen at his work site to surprise him. The clip also included a stop at Lowe’s, DIY projects, and a playful proposal with a Ring Pop. These were personal moments in a relationship video, not product endorsements. E!’s account is secondary reporting; its article page was not accessible for direct review.

They reconnected and married in 2024
The pair reconnected in early 2024 and became engaged in June. They married in Arkansas on August 15, 2024, according to Us Weekly. Jana said she had moved more slowly toward the relationship, but Stephen’s character and continued care helped her trust that he genuinely cared about her.
“I had been a slower mover on it, but just over time, his character, his coming back, still loving me no matter what. I know we have a big crazy family and still kind of putting up with a lot of things. I’m like, my goodness, there are not too many people that do that. He must really, genuinely care about me.”
