“Mama June Shocking”: Pumpkin Tells Josh About Doing “It” With Darrin – What the hell is going on!?
In the latest emotional twist from Mama June: Family Crisis, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon is preparing for a difficult conversation—one that could change everything between her and husband Josh Efird. While rumors have swirled for weeks about a possible breakup, fans are now learning the shocking details behind Pumpkin’s new romance… and who it involves.
A New Man – With a Familiar Name
Pumpkin has reportedly moved on from her marriage and is casually seeing someone new: Darrin. But this isn’t just any new love interest—Darrin is Josh’s cousin. Though Pumpkin clarified that he’s “not blood” and they aren’t immediate relatives, the connection is close enough to make things very awkward.
During a recent heart-to-heart with a friend, Pumpkin admitted she knew how complicated it would be to tell Josh. “It’s going to be awkward,” she confessed. Despite the casual nature of her relationship with Darrin, she understands how the situation could come off as disrespectful.
Delaying the Truth – But For a Reason
Lauryn isn’t in a rush to break the news. According to her, there are more pressing matters than her dating life—especially as she prepares to finalize her divorce. She made it clear that while she’s emotionally done with the marriage, there are still difficult conversations ahead.
“It’s not just about who I’m dating,” she said. “There’s a lot that needs to be worked through first.”
Fans React
News of the romance has already sparked intense reaction online. “She’s dating his cousin? That’s messy,” one fan posted. Others are more sympathetic, noting that Pumpkin deserves happiness—even if the situation is complicated.
Either way, fans are bracing themselves for the inevitable showdown when Josh finally learns the truth.
