Mama June Shannon Secretly Weds Boyfriend Justin Stroud!
Mama June Shannon has secretly tied the knot with boyfriend, Justin Stroud, according to a new report by The Sun.
The Mama June Road to Redemption star reportedly married the auto mechanic on May 23 after dating for seven months. June and Justin made it official at a Georgia courthouse, two months after the pair was spotted ring shopping in Alabama.
The Here Comes Honey Boo Boo alum first dished about her new beau in October 2021, when she posted a video featuring Justin’s new tattoo. June, 42, didn’t identify Justin, 34, but thanked the artist for inking her “new boo.”
June explained that Justin offered stability after several rollercoaster years of drug addiction and family strife.
“It’s been amazing like you know, he’s helped put the pieces back together,” she recently told The Sun.
June gushed over her future husband and praised his attentiveness.
June said—“He would send these sweet messages saying, ‘Hey, how are you doing? Hope you are having an amazing day.’ Noticing the little stuff, that’s what made me fall for Justin.”
“Justin is an amazing person and he understands everything I’ve been going through. I’ve been able to share stuff with him that I’ve never been able to share with other people- not even my kids and so it’s really nice to have that partnership,” the reality TV grandmother added.
The reality star’s relationship with former boyfriend, Geno Doak, was featured during Season 1 of Mama June: From Not to Hot, which premiered in February 2017. The couple appeared altar bound before becoming entrenched in substance abuse.
June and Geno were busted for felony drug possession the following year. They checked into rehab together, but eventually split, in August 2021.
June admitted that she had blown about $1.5 million on drugs in the years leading to her arrest.
“I know the world will be shocked because you didn’t know it,” she told Us Weekly in March 2021. “I was out doing press. I was out living my life. I was out doing, you know, I was doing a season and stuff like that.”
“If you want to know where Geno is, he’s got an Instagram,” June told fans during an IG Livestream, in 2021. “If you want to know where he’s at, that’s his business. That’s not part of my life, hasn’t been.”
June was photographed on a hike with her future hubby in Los Angeles, back in January. June was snapped hand-in-hand with her new boyfriend, as the pair strolled together through the woods before sitting down on a bench. June was photographed hugging her new man, during the outing.
June welcomed two new grandchildren to her family earlier this month, as her daughter Lauryn Efird, gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, via C-section, on May 19. “Pumpkin” shares two other children, Ella, 4, and Bentley, 10 months, with husband, Josh Efird.
