Josh began dating a pregnant woman named Keely whereas Pumpkin was dating Darrin Kitchens. He was a friend of the family and may be related to Josh. Furthermore, Keely is allegedly close friends with Darrin’s ex-wife they are all in this interesting circle together. Despite some praise for Darrin being an upstanding man and father, his ex-wife has her own story to tell but claims Pumpkin knows all about his disturbing ways.

    1. I’m shocked too, I really thought they were good for each other. especially after all they been through.

  1. It’s really to soon, she needs some me time. Just out of a relationship and into another one with four kids. she needs to bond with herself and kids.

  2. This is terribly sad news!! Josh and Pumpkin must be amazing actors because who the hell seen this coming?!?! WOW!! SHOOK!! (Get yourselves a movie and make some millions honeys!!) And already seeing other people!! Dang!! Hope she doesn’t turn out like her not-a-mama-but-a-wannabe-thot June!!

    1. My sentiments exactly. Very sad to see them split up and already out on the town! No one tries to work things out anymore , very sad .

  3. Actually, it’s kinda sad. I’m glad she is happy, but this has to be confusing for the kid’s. Just kinda surprised. I thought that Josh and her were a good match. He put up with a lot of family issues and they seemed like they understood one another.

  4. The grass is never greener on the other side.I did almost the same things years ago and I pay for it still.I have always wished I could go back and change what I did,but you can’t.Make damn sure this is what you want!!Your life is not the only one affected by this.

  5. this is very sad you are going to turn out to be just like your mother running from man to man. if you weren’t so happy with Josh why in the hell did you have four kids by him I looked up to you but now I have to put you down that’s not right you are just like your mother and I don’t see how in the hell her husband puts up with her s*** now trailer trash

  6. It has to be incredibly confusing and so sad for their small children to have their parents divorce, but then to have their parents JUMP into new relationships before the wounds of the old one heals, it’s very selfish of them. They obviously aren’t concentrating on the mental health of their children and the wounds this divorce has caused or else they wouldn’t be adding additional drama at such a critical phase in their little lives by bringing new relationships into this mix. Those poor kids are probably so very sad and confused, and now momma and dada have introduced intimate partners into the family? This is a bad idea.

    1. I agree… Also
      Ella is old enough to understand, & to see a new man/woman kissing momma/or daddy is a recipe for disaster.
      They shldve waited. I know we’re watching stuff play out on TV but it really seems fast in real life
