The Duggar family is growing bigger - even without the pregnancy.

"19 Kids and Counting" reality star 21-year old Jessa Duggar just got engaged to her beau of 11 months, 19-year old Ben Seewald, last Thursday.

Duggar released a statement, announcing the good news. "We are so blessed to be engaged! God has written an amazing story through our courtship, and another chapter has just begun! We are thrilled to see what the future holds--especially the wedding bells!" she stated.

Duggar has changed her family name to Seewald on Twitter and Instagram.

After celebrating their 11th monthsary last Saturday, Jessa took to Instagram to publicly declare her love for Seewald. She shared that the past 11 months have been "amazing" and that the next 11 will only be better.

Before Seewald proposed, it seemed that he was going to more likely to be getting a "yes", especially since Jessa again took to Instagram to post a photo of the two of them, captioning it with "I admire this man with all my heart! @ben_seewald, you're absolutely the best!" 

Like her older sister, Jill, Jessa and her fiance decided to not even hold hands during their courtship. As conservative Christians, the two have also decided to save their first kiss for their wedding day.

When Jill got married to Derrick Dillard last June 21, Ben was asked when he would be popping the question to Jessa, to which he replied, "People always ask us when we are getting married. We don't feel pressure to get married. If there's any pressure, it's a good kind of pressure."

Jessa is the third daughter of Jim and Michelle Duggar. While Ben, is the eldest of seven.

The couple wants a big family and are also open to adopting.

"19 and Counting" returns to TLC on September 2.
