Mama June's Pumpkin Efird with boyfriend Darrin Kitchens

Mama June fans have heard whispers about Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird’s current relationship status. Apparently, the WE tv star has moved on from her marriage to Josh Efird and is now engaged to be married. Keep reading to see what has been revealed.

Pumpkin Moved On Quick After Filing For Divorce

Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird shocked Mama June fans in August after the news broke about her divorce from her husband of six years, Josh Efird. On the show, the couple always seemed very supportive of each other, especially in the latest season of Family Crisis as Josh supported Lauryn through her sister’s death.

However, their relationship falling apart served as a reminder that we don’t always know what’s going on behind closed doors. Evidently, there was some infidelity and both partners moved on pretty fast.

Pumpkin jumped into a relationship with a man named Darrin Kitchens, who she has shared on social media several times. Now, fans believe that Pumpkin may have gotten engaged and will be married less than three months after she filed for divorce.

Mama June Fans Reveal Rumor About Soon-To-Be Wedding?

One fan took to Reddit to discuss the rumors about Pumpkin and Darrin. They shared a screenshot of a TikTok account that allegedly confirmed Pumpkin’s engagement.

“It came from the same Tik Tok account that released messages from Josh claiming Pumpkin is the reason for the end of the marriage. The owner(s) of the account claim to be in the family’s inner circle, and the info was allegedly ‘confirmed’ by June,” the Reddit user wrote.

They also shared that Darrin Kitchens has been filming with the family for the upcoming season of Mama June. “So we’ll meet the cuzbin in all his redneck glory next season!” they finished.

Of course, people were eager to weigh in on the possibility of Pumpkin remarrying so soon and the prospect of meeting Darrin on the next season.

  • “ah yes, continuing the cycle of bringing her children around multiple men,” one cynic wrote. “At least this man was already in the family,” another quipped back.
  • “Of course it’s true. They need a storyline to fill up their terrible show,” one fan commented.
  • The OP chimed in, “I’ll let you all form your own conclusion. I’m still not sure I believe this rumor. Although it would not be surprising considering everything we’ve seen so far…”
  • One person even suggested, “Can we take bets on how long this will last?”

None of this has been confirmed by Pumpkin yet and it’s not clear if the rumor comes from a reputable source.

However, Pumpkin did recently confirm that they have been filming for Mama June. While no release date has been set, fans are excited to see another season play out on television.

  1. Josh is great and he’s very supportive of his kids. The man needs a medal or sainthood for putting up with all of pumpkins crap.
    Josh, you’ll be missed and this show had gone down hill and is nothing but crap. Can’t believe she gave up Josh for a kissing cousin.

  2. so sad especially when Josh helped with getting Alana out of a scary situation (mama&gene) I’m hoping pumpkin hasn’t introduced her new man to her young children this soon!
    Josh be smart stay being the outstanding father and teach your little ones how to be a contributing member to society!

  3. Adulty is horrible and is extremely distuctive! Look at what it did to June and her girls. It doesn’t come without consequences and unfortunately Pumpkins little babies will have to suffer her choices. The dominos fall….

    I will not be watching the show anymore as I don’t accept the fact that this new man came through the door of adulty.

    And another reason as well, is the cussing got so out of hand. I can’t enjoy a show when such profanity spews out of mouths ( usually Pumpkins) Yes some were bleeped out but we still know what’s being said.

  4. Josh, Stay strong. Be the loving Father, Mentor, and Man you are. Unfortunately, you worried about Pumpkin’s depression, became the straw. Apparently she still needs help, because she’s following her trailer trash mother’s path jumping from man to man.. This won’t last. Seek counseling yourself. Stay healthy for yourself and those cutie babies, and they’ll know who’s their Daddy!

    1. I agree with everyone’s comments regarding Josh. He is a Saint. I don’t know of any man who would have put up with all the drama he has had to deal with. This makes me very sad. They just seemed to be the right fit. Perhaps just a temporary separation until Pumpkin got her head back on straight, because I feel she’s going to regret this decision to divorce him. You’re a good man, Josh. Don’t let this pull you down. Be a good dad and one day you’ll meet the right someone.

  5. I watched the show because of Josh and Pumpkin. I really thought they had a strong marriage despite the animosity that surrounded them with Mama June and her mishaps. Now that I know Pumpkin is just as fucked up as her mom, I will not be watching the show anymore. I feel sorry for Josh. Take your kids and run. Find normalcy and happiness with someone who can appreciate the man you are.

    1. Unfortunately, l kinda did same, but l got outta that too…But, l feel this situation has to do more with her sisters death, that when she decided to stop laying around feeling down about her sisters passing she did not grieve correctly. We don’t know what went on between her and Josh, but l feel she will regret her rushed decisions.

  6. She should definitely wait, give it a few years until she can clearly assess the relationship. It’s not cool to invite someone such as marriage into this. Took me years to come out of divorce and I made some regretted decisions.

  7. I want to say poor Josh like the other comments because he seems like a great guy and he had to put up with A WHOLE HELL OF ALOT OF BULL_ _ _ T, but, alas we don’t know what his true colors are off screen. As for his now ex‐wife, Pumpkin , I do believe we saw her true colors. if she is in a rush to get married then she is pregnant. just saying. Getting married, that fast after a divorce.
