We are so thankful for the love of Christ that has brought our lives together and teaches us what real love looks like," they said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. "There is no greater joy than marrying your best friend.

"There is nothing comparable to finding the one you are meant to spend your life with. We know we have found that in each other," the pair said in a statement to TLC.
"We cannot wait to be married and are looking forward to a life together of faith in Christ, love for one another, and happiness!" they added.
Justin announced in September that he began courting Spivey after the two met in spring 2019. "Claire and I are excited to share that we are in a courtship," he said in a video shared by TLC. "God brought Claire in my life and I wasn't really expecting it, but he brought her along right when I needed her."
Spivey said in the video that the couple's families have known each other for nearly two decades. "I'm really looking forward to the memories to come spent with him," she said. "I'm excited to see what the Lord holds for us in the near future."
