Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star Alana «Honey Boo Boo» Thompson and her boyfriend Dralin Carswell are still dating after being blasted over their four-year age gap. Alana, better known by her nickname «Honey Boo Boo,» had a vast transformation since TLC's Here Comes Honey Boo Boo ended in 2014. As Alana transformed into a young woman, her family became embroiled in scandal after her mother, «Mama June» Shannon, was arrested for crack cocaine possession. However, the youngest daughter of Mama June has pulled through trying times with the support of her loved ones.

Despite trying to keep a relatively low profile after her family's controversies, Alana found herself in the spotlight again when she started dating Dralin, who is four years older than she is. The couple sparked romance rumors in September 2021 when reports surfaced that the 16-year-old TV personality was dating Dralin, 20. An insider later confirmed the relationship, revealing that the pair hung out together all the time. Alana also confirmed the rumors when she posted a photo of herself and Dralin on social media. However, the youngster later deleted the snap after being dragged for dating an older guy.
