Mama June Shannon’s Daughter Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird CHEATED With Josh’s Cousin … This Led To Her Divorce!
Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird’s affair with her estranged husband Josh’s cousin played a pivotal role in the unraveling of their marriage.
Just one month after their separation, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird and her estranged husband, Josh Efird, are dating, but it’s Pumpkin’s choice of partner that’s stirring up the internet.
According to a source close to the family, while reconciliation seems unlikely, both Pumpkin and Josh are moving on with their lives by seeing other people. Pumpkin is reportedly dating a man named Darrin, who intriguingly happens to be Josh’s cousin, as noted in a Facebook comment by one of Darrin’s ex-partners, Ariel Mitchell. Allegedly, Pumpkin was having an affair with Darrin long before she filed for divorce.
Josh, on the other hand, has started a relationship with a woman named, Keely.
Despite the complexities of their personal lives, both Pumpkin and Josh have maintained a friendly and cordial relationship, particularly for the sake of their four children. The decision to end their marriage came in July, with Pumpkin filing for divorce on August 1. The delay in filing was to allow the couple time to reach an agreement on the care of their children and the handling of their marital assets.
The unfolding drama is set to be captured on the upcoming season of Mama June: Family Crisis, as filming is currently underway. This ensures that fans of the show will have a front-row seat to the developments in Pumpkin and Josh’s lives.
Court documents from Wilkinson County, Georgia, reveal that the couple has agreed to share joint custody of their children — Ella, Bentley, and twins Sylus and Stella. They believe this arrangement best serves the interests of their children. The documents also detail that the marriage has been described as “irretrievably broken,” leading to their amicable decision to co-parent.
In addition to custody agreements, the divorce settlement outlines the division of their assets. The couple will each retain their vehicles and any financial accounts under their individual names while jointly managing their children’s savings accounts. They have also agreed to share the costs of their children’s medical care, schooling, and extracurricular activities.
Significantly, the settlement includes a clause for Lauryn to retain their leased home, with Josh agreeing to remove his belongings within 60 days of the divorce filing. Furthermore, both Lauryn and Josh have waived any rights to spousal support, reflecting a mutual desire to resolve their separation as smoothly as possible.
This development has come as a shock to many fans who viewed Pumpkin and Josh as a strong unit on their reality show. The news has prompted a flurry of reactions on social media, with one user expressing dismay, stating, “PUMPKIN AND JOSH GETTING DIVORCED??? Oh we’re in the end times for real.” Another fan pondered the fate of Josh’s tattoo dedicated to Pumpkin, highlighting the deep personal connections that had been showcased on television.
In a previous interview with In Touch, Pumpkin had opened up about the challenges in their marriage, attributing some of their issues to the stress caused by her mother June’s battle with addiction.
Amidst all these personal upheavals, Darrin Kitchen, who works as an Equipment Operator at Vulcan Materials Company in Macon, Georgia, has emerged as a significant figure in Pumpkin’s life. Known to both Pumpkin and Josh as a mutual friend, Darrin has been increasingly present in Pumpkin’s social media activities, particularly involving her children, though neither has confirmed the nature of their relationship.
Darrin’s own complex family dynamics, including his involvement with his children, have also captured public interest, adding another layer to the ongoing narrative surrounding Pumpkin’s new life chapter.
