Reality stars Alana «Honey Boo Boo» Thompson and Lauryn «Pumpkin» Shannon, famous for starring on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, revealed they were not aware their mom was getting married. When the world met their mother, June «Mama June» Shannon, she was in a relationship with Alana's father, Mike «Sugar Bear» Thompson.

In 2019, she left Geno, and in 2022, she went public with her relationship with Justin Stroud. Mama June and Justin dated for just a few months before getting married.
