Mama June Reveals Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon’s Estranged Husband’s Girlfriend Is Pregnant
Just when you thought the Efird family drama couldn’t get any juicier, Mama June herself steps in to set the record straight!
Alana Thompson and Mama June Shannon have had their differences, but Honey Boo Boo might be much closer with her three sisters than her mother.
Lauryn, affectionately known as Pumpkin, tied the knot with Josh back in April 2018. The couple welcomed four kids during their marriage—Ella, Bentley, and twins Stella and Sylus. Their family life wasn’t without its challenges, but they seemed to keep it together—until now.
Pumpkin, who also has custody of her younger sister Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson, made headlines when she officially filed for divorce from Josh, news that was revealed earlier this month. And while the split is reportedly amicable, it’s clear that there’s plenty of drama brewing just below the surface.
Both Josh And Lauryn Are Dating New People
Pumpkin’s decision to divorce Josh came as a shock to many fans who had watched their relationship unfold on reality TV. But what really got the gossip flying was the rumor that Pumpkin might have been cozying up to a new man—none other than Darrin Kitchens, who just might be Josh’s cousin.
Darrin hasn’t been shy about showing off Pumpkin on his Snapchat either, and from the looks of it, she’s all smiles.
But before you jump to conclusions about Pumpkin stepping out on Josh, let’s not forget that Josh has his own drama going on. He’s been linked to a new girlfriend, Keely, who’s reportedly pregnant. The burning question on everyone’s mind? Is Josh the father of Keely’s baby?
Mama June Claims The Baby Isn’t Josh’s
Now, with all eyes on Josh and his allegedly expecting girlfriend, it was only a matter of time before Mama June weighed in to spill some much-needed truth tea. Is this about to be Josh’s fifth child, or did he start dating Keely when she was already expecting? TikToker Elle Bee has been all over the drama, and in a follow-up video, she shared Mama June’s two cents: Yes, Josh and Keely are indeed an item and have been for a few months now.
But, hold up—according to June, the baby isn’t Josh’s (you can almost hear the collective sigh of relief.)
Keely might look ready to pop, but exactly how far along she is remains a mystery. One of her friends jumped into the gossip thread, swearing up and down that Josh isn’t the daddy.
Viewers witnessed how Mama June’s addiction drove a wedge between her and her daughters.And speaking of Keely, the girl’s got some serious ink, much like Pumpkin, which has fans speculating that Pumpkin and Josh might just have a specific “type.” They’re both dating people who bear more than a passing resemblance to each other, which makes you wonder if they’re really over their relationship or just hitting repeat with different partners.
In the end, whether or not Josh is the father of Keely’s baby, it’s clear that the Shannon-Efird family knows how to keep us talking. With Mama June in the mix, you can bet this won’t be the last we hear of their ever-evolving drama.
