Somebody set these two up, already! 

Less than one week after speculation began swirling that Tim Tebow is courting the Duggar's eldest daughter, Jana, the former NFL quarterback has denied the fabricated reports, with his rep telling E! News that the two "have never even met." 

The rumor mill first began churning after it was previously reported that Jana's father Jim Bob Duggar had hand-picked the news correspondent and devout Christian as a potential partner for his 24-year-old daughter. The report also stated that Jim Bob and wife Michelle have already had secret meetings in Arkansas with Tebow's mom Pam.

And from there, the Internet went wild, as these two are clearly a match made in heaven

Adding further fuel to the fire? The fact that Pam Tebow has definitely been in contact with the 19 Kids and Counting clan (although those alleged "secret meetings" now sound rather suspect). 

Earlier this month, Jim Bob reportedly met up with the pro-life advocate at a Loving Choices Pregnancy Centers fundraiser in Arkansas. "A great lady and a great cause!" the Duggars wrote on Facebook. "We enjoyed hearing Pam Tebow share tonight."

Cousin Amy Duggar also posted a photo with Pam around the same time and wrote, "Had the greatest little chit chat today with Mrs. Pam Tebow! She has the sweetest heart!!"

Tebow was last romantically linked to actress Camilla Belle, whom he briefly dated in 2002. Meanwhile, Jana's two sisters, Jessa and Jill, both recently tied the knot (and shared their first kiss with their respective hubbys!). Jill, 23, is currently expecting her first child with husband Dereck Dilliard
