Mama June: Family Crisis fans felt shocked to hear that Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird and her husband Josh parted ways.

Over the past season, Mama June fans watched the family band together during Anna Cardwell’s final days. Anna ultimately succumbed to her battle with cancer, but the family seemed closer than ever before. Viewers believed the tragedy brought everyone together. But it seems that there were problems brewing behind the scenes.

As the Efirds’ divorce plays out, fans have more questions than answers. Some believe that cheating might play a role here. See what people are saying online.

Mama June Fans Question If Cheating Played A Part In The Divorce

Although Pumpkin Shannon was a bit of a wild child, fans loved that she built a family with Josh Efird. During their marriage, they welcomed four children together.

Now, fans have no shortage of questions about the breakup.

“Pumpkin cheated with tattoo artist?” a Redditor shared online. “I’m in a Mama June group and I have seen several posts about Pumpkin cheating on Josh. I saw one where they said it was a tattoo artist, does anyone know anything about why? The divorce is real because it’s public record.”

The OP attached a screenshot of the court filing. In the image, there is a visible filing between Lauryn Efird and Joshua Efird on August 1, 2024. The case type is listed as a divorce.

No one really seemed to have any sort of insight into the Efirds’ marriage. However, Redditors had a wide range of opinions.

If so what an idiot. She had a man who put up with her family. She won’t find that again,” one Reddit user wrote. 

I believe that the divorce/annulment is real, but it’s hard to say why she filed. It could be for tax purposes, one of them having legal trouble, etc. This whole family is a bunch of grifters so it would not surprise me at all if this was 100% a financial decision,” another wrote. 

Other Reddit users wrote that no one except for Pumpkin and Josh can truly know what happened. It’s certainly a difficult situation and Mama June fans hope they can put their children first.

Where Will The Show Go From Here?

Although the show can certainly survive without Josh Efird, many fans remain concerned for Pumpkin and the children. On top of that, it’s not immediately clear what the next season will entail. Fans will need to stay tuned and listen for updates from the family.

  1. Josh is so insightful and got right to the root of a problem that maybe Pumpkin couldn’t quite voice to herself yet. We did see flashes of temper, but he walked away when he needed a break. They did seem like a couple who could support each other, so what a shame.

  2. This actually breaks my heart. I mean on screen it’s a totally different demeanor but they seemed to balance each other out and I was just thinking how they understand each other and how josh puts up with June. but we don’t see the whole picture. I thought they would last way longer. hopefully they can still remain friends. they really do seem like they love each other. Hopefully they will mend if not wishing the best to them both. plus the fact that Jessica asked to use Josh sperm, where did that question go. enquiring minds want to know.
