The Bates are basically the better version of the Duggars. They still have a big, loving family, and TV show, Bringing Up Bates, but they're also more fun and have a way better fashion sense (plus better haircuts!) Our newest obsession is Josie Bates, one of the middle children in the 19-kid clan — who just recently got engaged. She's absolutely beautiful, smart, has an amazing Instagram, and a hunky fiancé! Scroll down for everything you need to know about Josie. How old is Josie Bates? Josie is currently 18 years old, having been born on Aug. 4, 1999. She is smack dab in the middle of her 18 siblings, who range in age from five to 29. We've basically seen Josie blossom into a gorgeous young woman in front of our eyes. She was only 12 during the first season of United Bates of America, so we've watched her grow from an awkward pre-teen to a betrothed adult.

We’re used to seeing broken hearts on The Bachelorette — but it looks like someone hurt way more than their heart during the show’s fourteenth season! In a preview for this season of The Bachelorette — which we can only assume is the most dramatic season ever — we see a contestant being taken away on stretcher as ambulances flash by. Since we saw the initial sneak peak on Night 1, fans have been trying to figure out who gets hurt and goes to the hospital on the reality show — and some Internet detectives may have actually cracked the case wide open! Warning: There are spoilers about an upcoming episode of The Bachelorette below the video. While we won’t reveal anything major — like who nabs the final rose — it does reveal a plot point about the hospital visit (which we’re assuming you want to know if you clicked here in the first place.

Are the Duggars and Bates still friends? Despite having a lot in common — they both are Christian families with a lot of children and they both also star on their own reality TV shows — the Duggars and Bates also have their differences. One glaring difference is that the Duggar family has way more controversies under their belt than the Bates family does, and it's understandable why the wholesome Bringing Up Bates stars might want to distance themselves from the Counting On stars. Despite evidence that the Bates' might not be as interested in carrying on a friendship, Anna Duggar and Lawson Bates proved that they're still close on May 30. Lawson took to Twitter to share two adorable photos holding Anna and Josh's baby son Mason, and Anna quickly responded saying, "Great to have you in town! Mason enjoyed getting to hang out with you :)." The exchange proved that despite...
