Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird Says ‘You’re Mine Now’ To New Boyfriend?
As a tween on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird came out as bisexual. Then, at fifteen, she started dating Josh Efird and within two years, they were expecting a daughter. This was not how she thought her life would go but the two were going to make the most out of it. They then tied the knot in 2018 and have been seemingly happy ever since. More so, they added three more babies to the mix and helped to raise Pumpkin’s sister, Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson. Now, the marriage is over and cheating rumors are circulating on Pumpkin’s behalf.
Since Pumpkin is moving on with her life, and the split is amicable, it seems she is living her best life. She just posted a message on her social media where she is staking her claim on her alleged new man. The business owner had two sweet emojis and a quote that said:
- me??? possessive??? yes you’re absolutely right. you’re mine. now lemme hear you say it.
It has also been alleged that her new man is Darrin Kitchens as he was the one who loved this posting. So, if that is true, then they are not doing a very good job of hiding their romance. After this was discovered, a Reddit thread was started to chat about the potential new relationship:
- She definitely has a type.
- In the past, she identified as bi. I wonder if she’ll start to date women.
- If it’s her new man, I hope she waits to introduce her kids and not emotionally fuck them up, worse than they already are
Keeping It In The Family
After learning of Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird’s man’s last name, fans were suspicious. Josh Efird has relatives with the last name “Kitchens” so they immediately questioned if that was his cousin. Yet, there was more than just what Pumpkin posted on social media. Followers found Darrin Kitchens’ Snapchat and saw a photo of Pumpkin on there along with hearts surrounding her. She was beaming and looked genuinely happy.
After seeing this, one follower said:
- Well that didn’t take long… ( found his fb through a comment she made on his post) It really makes me wonder if Josh is the one who did her wrong. I hope she doesn’t turn into her mother.
Others felt that Pumpkin was turning into Mama June and could not be without a man. Time will tell if this is a serious situation or if she is just having fun.
