What a year it has been for the Duggar family and it would appear that their last name won't stop from making the news. After the scandal they faced earlier this year with one of their own Josh Duggar, which also caused the cancelling of their reality TV show, they are making new headline for their other family member, John David.

In a news report published by The Inquisitr, rumor has it that David in courting Tabitha Paine. He is among the eldest of the Duggar family who until today is single. The family wanted to clear this whole rumor on their blog since Tabitha has been seen on photos with the family a few times.

The blog of the Duggars confirmed that the two are not dating. But they are not denying that Tabitha is almost always hanging out with them, but it would make sense since she actually residing with them as the family's tutor. Her job involves her to live-in with the whole family and this is why people see her face a lot on their activities.

Tabitha also made a statement about this issue since she was often asked about her dating David. She spoke up saying clearly pointing out how some people could be wrong with their assumptions. She even said strongly that she is in "no such relationship" and she may as well be "single for the rest of her life."

She met the Duggars from her brother Chad, who happens to be the husband of Erin Bates. Both parties are closed to each other ever since, which once again explains how she got the job and the kind of living situation deal that she is on. Paine said some really firm statement about not being involved outside with the Duggars, which is why this would be a good story to watch.
