Jana Duggar Admits There Were 'a Few Surprises' on Her First Trip with Her New In-Laws
On Wednesday, March 19, Duggar, 35, posted a YouTube vlog of a camping trip she took last fall with her husband, Stephen Wissmann, and his family. The former 19 Kids and Counting star and Wissmann, 31, tied the knot last August 15 in a "classic, elegant" ceremony.
The Counting On alum gave her followers a tour of the trailer her husband purchased for the getaway.
'It's actually kind of cute,' a surprised Duggar said after doing a walkthrough of the trailer's bedroom, kitchen and restroom.
Duggar then explained they were traveling to Old Threshers, an annual event held over Labor Day in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, that draws thousands of tourists. The Wissmann family performed music at the event, the couple's first outing as husband and wife.
Duggar gave a behind-the-scenes look at the event set-up before walking around the town.
She proudly filmed her husband and his brothers engaging in some light-hearted banter in between their musical performances, while also showing children playing and enjoying the music.

Between the musical performances, Duggar highlighted shopping with local vendors where they taste-tested sodas, pickles and snow cones. A fun element of the fair included old tractors shooting up sparks that she described as 'old-fashioned form of fireworks.'
At the end of the family's very eventful day, Duggar and Wissmann sat around a quiet, unlit campfire with many empty camping chairs waiting for the rest of the family to arrive.
"Sweet family time around the campfire,' Duggar said in the video while panning over to her husband.
Wissmann said the family needed firewood for the campfire so they did their part and 'got the firewood.'
'We provided it,' Duggar said, panning to the firewood sitting in bags before continuing. 'And everyone showed up.'

Wissmann had grabbed a bag of Pretzel Crisps to munch on while they continued waiting for the rest of the family.
'They're all going to come,' Duggar said, appearing unconvinced. 'Great old family time.'
Moments later, the rest of the family arrived and proceeded to light the campfire. Duggar panned around the circle, showing the progress of the camping chairs filling in, giving a soft 'yay' to the sight.
The following day, Wissmann gave a sweet introduction of his wife, Duggar to a good-sized crowd.
'This is her first year here,' Wissmann said in the microphone to the crowd while smiling proudly at his new wife. 'We got married two and a half weeks ago.'
The couple received a hilarious gift from Duggar's brother Jeremiah and his wife Hannah Duggar. Duggar sat on Wissmann's lap as they opened it together to find metal whisks for an electric mixer. Duggar was handed a power drill to plug the whisks into.

'Perfect, that is cool,' Duggar said smiling and laughing as Wissmann helped her assemble the tool.
'So you can use the tools they're used to,' Wissmann said before Duggar completed his sentence, 'And I will feel at home.'
Last August, Duggar told PEOPLE during an exclusive interview in August that she had her "dream come true" wedding while marrying Wissmann.
The eldest Duggar daughter, got engaged June 15 and exchanged vows during a traditional ceremony in front of 500 guests in Prairie Grove, Ark.
"I think it is one of those things that all girls envision someday," Jana told PEOPLE of her wedding two days before the celebration. "For me, it felt like, 'Okay, it's never coming.' But now it's starting to sink in. Reality is starting to set in. And I'm like, 'Wow, this truly is something that I've dreamed of.' And just to see it coming about is incredible and kind of hard to believe. It's a dream come true."

Michael Franti splits with management after abuse allegations, but tour continues
Michael Franti has reportedly split with his longtime management company following sexual abuse allegations made against him by younger singers and colleagues he worked with. The Bay Area-born musician had been represented by Activist Artist Management for nearly a decade, according to multiple sources who spoke to Billboard. The Chronicle reached out to the West Hollywood-based management company on Tuesday, Aug. 19, for comment. Franti has denied the accusations but admitted to a romantic relationship outside his marriage with Spanish American singer Victoria Canal, which he said was consensual. 'I'm aware of the recent posts this artist made about our relationship, and while I support her need to express herself publicly, the relationship was completely consensual, based on mutual feelings and attraction,' Franti, 59, wrote in a statement on Sunday, Aug. 17. 'I vehemently dispute any version of the story that says otherwise.' Canal, who turned 27 this month, alleged in an Instagram post last week that as a 19-year-old she was groomed and abused by a 'very powerful' older musician. She wrote that the man, whom she did not name, initially appeared 'loving, charismatic, and principled' but in private was controlling, abusive and photographed her without consent. 'This is something I've never spoken about publicly, and have been holding for eight years now — it has plagued my body, spirit, and mind,' she wrote. 'These behaviors progressed over a year, slowly keeping me more isolated in a highly unfamiliar and contained environment,' Canal alleged, adding that was still a virgin at the time. In recounting her story, she said she was not allowed to have separate accommodations and that whenever she wanted to sleep in a bed or have a shower, 'he made sure it was his.' The fallout was immediate. Several artists, including Dispatch, Maggie Rose and Liz Vice, dropped out of Franti's Soulshine at Sea cruise, prompting the event's promoter Sixthman to cancel the sold-out November voyage. While she said she was not planning to make any other statements because 'the person who groomed me doesn't deserve so much real estate on my page,' Canal followed up on Sunday, Aug. 17, by posting screenshots of others who recounted similar experiences with the same man. 'I feel a responsibility (and have been asked by some who approached me) to share on these victims' behalf,' Canal wrote. 'Let this be a shedding of light on my own discovery — that I am not the only victim of this person.' Among the alleged victims who chose to share her identity was Carla Swanson, who co-founded SoulShine yoga resort hotel in Bali with Franti in 2011. Swanson — who said 'this same person forced me to sign an NDA. Twice.' — claims that she 'did pick up on a sexual vibe from him' and noted that after Canal shared her story, 'now it all makes sense.' Swanson shared screenshots of texts alleging he also groomed her when she was 19, and claimed that he sexually harassed one of her friends during a recording session. She described her abuser as a 'master manipulator and user,' comparing him to President Donald Trump. The following day in an Instagram Story, Canal added that she's 'used to gaslighting from this person.' 'I'm the one that has to live with effects of what really happened in my body, and I am the one responsible for my own healing,' Canal wrote. 'I have no agenda for sharing my story — I simply want to let go.' 'My wife found out about it and to save my marriage, we ended the relationship,' Franti wrote. 'I broke my wedding vows, I broke my wife's trust, I broke her heart, and for that I am deeply sorry for the pain my actions have caused her… My wife and I have done an incredible amount of work for me to repair the damage that I did. I have and continue to apologize to Sara and my family for the pain that I have caused you.' He added, 'I am also apologizing to the artist for the pain you are going through. My mistake was breaking the vows of our marriage, and involving someone else in the breaking of those vows. For that I will have to atone for the rest of my life. A public conversation about a private issue is never easy for anyone involved and I am sorry you are hurting.' Despite parting ways with Activist and the cruise cancellation, Franti's Welcome to the Family Tour is continuing. The trek includes a scheduled stop at Saratoga's Mountain Winery on Tuesday, Aug. 26.

Grace Van Patten and Jackson White's Relationship Timeline
We still don't have an official release date for Tell Me Lies season 3 (sorry!), but I can tell you this: the show's stars, Grace Van Patten and Jackson White, are still thriving IRL. Based on Carola Lovering's novel of the same name, the Hulu series follows the twisty, toxic love story between Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco—which is, thankfully, nothing like the very sweet, very real love that has blossomed between Grace and Jackson. Since hard-launching their relationship on Instagram soon after the premiere of season one, the two actors have kept their romance pretty private, in fact, that you may not have even realized they were dating. However! During a recent interview with Elle, Grace confirmed that she and her 'real-life boyfriend' Jackson are still going strong. Let's take a moment to review their cute showmance from the beginning, shall we? Tell Me Lies premieres on Hulu, and it isn't long before dating rumors start circulating about the two leads. Tbh, Grace and Jackson don't do much to dispel the rumors. During an episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Jackson teases the possibility of an off-screen romance, confessing that he has 'a huge crush' on his costar. 'All I'm saying is that I'm obsessed with her because she's fucking amazing,' he gushes. He goes on to add, 'She is the fucking coolest, most grounded, amazing person IRL that you'll ever meet.' Grace, for her part, plays it a lil more coy. When asked by Entertainment Tonight about her real-life relationship with Jackson, she says, 'Fans should just leave it up for mystery, keep it fun. Who knows?' Grace and Jackson show up at the CFDA Fashion Awards looking veeeeery coupley: And in case there is any lingering doubt about where they stand, Jackson shares photo booth pics from the event on his Instagram Story, with an emoji strategically placed over what looks like a photo of them kissing: The next day, Jackson posts a cheeky photo of himself and Grace touching tongues to his grid with the caption, 'if we kiss can we get a s2 @hulu.' Side note: Grace posted the same pic on her own IG that same day, captioning it, '…just in the lick of time.' Love a coordinated hard-launch. The two hit up the Vanity Fair Oscar Party together looking chic as hell. Jackson drops this cute selfie on IG, along with a video of Grace in a go-kart. The caption: 'Florida couple steals go cart trophy from 9 year old birthday boy.' The couple is spotted at Paris Fashion Week and gets snapped at the Hermès show. Actor Katey Sagal (who, fun fact, is Jackson's mom both on the show and in real life) appears on the Broad Ideas podcast and reveals that Grace and Jackson have been dating 'since the audition'—which is way longer than people thought! According to her: 'They have been [dating] for two years.' In-ter-est-ing! During an interview with Only Natural Diamonds, Grace provides rare insight into her relationship with Jackson, talking about how well they work together both onscreen and off. 'I love working with him not just because he's my boyfriend but because he's so talented and giving and present,' she says. Not long after, she and Jackson are spotted at the US Open looking v cute and in love. Ahead of the season 2 premiere of Tell Me Lies, Grace admits to People how 'trippy' it is to work with Jackson 'because we are together in real life, and he knows me better than anyone.' She also makes it clear that she and Jackson are *very* different IRL than their onscreen counterparts. 'We're wildly different,' she says, 'thank goodness.' During an interview with Elle, Grace talks about filming season 3 with her 'real-life boyfriend,' noting, 'With us, there's no block; it's just full taking each other in, because that's what we're used to.' Oh, and she also reveals that she and Jackson started dating before he even officially landed the role of Stephen. 'We didn't know what was going to be more complicated—if he did get the part or if he didn't—but we didn't care,' she explains. 'We just couldn't help it.' Season 3 can't get here soon enough!!
