Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Shannon shares photos with new boyfriend Darrin Kitchens... after filing for divorce from Josh Efird

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience observing and analyzing the lives of public figures, I find it intriguing to see Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon moving forward so swiftly after her divorce from Josh Efird. It seems that she has found solace in the company of Darrin Kitchens, as evidenced by their recent outing at a country music concert.


After finalizing her divorce from her spouse of six years, Josh Efird, Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon is swiftly moving on with her life and pursuing new endeavors.

24-year-old former star of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo posted two pictures with her new partner, Darrin Kitchens, from a country music event on her Facebook account.

She titled the pictures, “We’ll have something to discuss now,” as she posted them with, “Koe Wetzel with my favorite companion ❤️.

Kitchens posted adorable photos, captioning them, ‘I wouldn’t rather be anywhere else on a Saturday night.’

On August 10, the pair first appeared at a Zach Bryan concert, as evidenced by photographs, exactly a week following the filing for divorce by the child of Mama June Shannon. (This sentence aims to maintain the original structure while using simpler and more conversational language.)

It seems that Darrin has been married and divorced from a woman named Shannon Kitchens on more than one occasion, with the latest known event taking place in 2020, as he resides in Macon, Georgia.

On August 2, Pumpkin officially filed for a divorce, stating in the paperwork that the union had become ‘beyond repair.’

Furthermore, before the filing, the ex-partners had previously agreed on matters such as divorce terms, child custody arrangements, visitation rights, child support, asset distribution, spousal support, and debt division.

Pumpkin and Josh have a family of four – Ella, aged six, Bentley, who is three years old, and the twins, Sylus and Stella, both two. It’s reported that they are working well together as cooperative parents.

According to documents acquired by People, the duo reached an agreement for shared custody as they consider it beneficial for their children, also having established a parenting arrangement.

Back in 2016, when she was just 16 years old, Pumpkin became engaged to Josh, marking the start of their relationship after nine months together. Exactly a year later, they were blessed with their first child, a daughter named Ella. The year following that, they tied the knot at The Chapel at Planet Hollywood in the vibrant city of Las Vegas.

The nature of their relationship was frequently depicted on the reality TV series, Mama June: Family Crisis and Mama June: Road to Redemption, which features Pumpkin’s mother.

Josh, too, has advanced his life and is now dating a lady called Keely. However, as Mama June: From Not to Hot continues its filming process, it’s been reported that neither Pumpkin nor Josh, aged 28, intend for their partners to make an appearance on their show.

The Shannon family gained prominence after Alana, affectionately known as ‘Honey Boo Boo’, and her mother, Mama June, became popular figures on the show Toddlers & Tiaras.

After gaining fame, they were featured on the TLC reality TV show “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” which debuted in 2012 but ended in 2014 following allegations that Mama June was seen with Mark Anthony McDaniel, a man who had served 10 years in prison for aggravated child molestation (convicted in 2004) and is a registered sex offender.

This prompted Mama June to admit that Pumpkin’s father was not McDaniel as previously stated.

In reality, her biological father was Michael Anthony Ford, a former convict who had served prison time for child sexual abuse, having been exposed by the TV show “To Catch a Predator” in 2005.
