Mama June Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird New Relationship Over?
Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird seemed to be in a relationship before she even filed for divorce. The mother of four filed on August 1st from Josh Efird after nine years together and six years of marriage. Though she maintained that it was a mutual decision, it did not feel that way. It soon came out that she was dating his cousin, Darrin Kitchens. More so, she allegedly hooked up with Darrin in April right after his and Josh’s grandma passed. Infidelity on her part had been thrown around yet no one knew if that was true.
Within a very short time of filing, Pumpkin was seen on Darrin’s Snapchat. They were also posting photos together on social media and acting very happy together. He is currently expecting a baby with his ex-wife’s close friend, Keely who was spending time with Josh. Josh and Keely were living together for some time after he and Pumpkin split but that has since ended. As for Pumpkin and Darrin, they went on vacation to Vegas with her family but has that all come crashing down?
A Redditthread has been started after a follower spotted Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird’s Facebook profile. There, it says she is “Single.” The truth is, once her marriage ended, she put “Single” and never changed it with Darrin. So, what did followers have to say?
- Did they actually have that they were in a relationship on FB? I don’t remember her changing the relationship status with Darrin.
-
Her status went from married to single and has stayed that way/never changed even with Darrin in the picture.
- She never put in a relationship with Darrin on Facebook. Darrin never changed his to in a relationship eithe
Mama June Josh Efird New Relationship Over, What Happened?
While Pumpkin and Darrin were enjoying their love bubble, Josh was allegedly dating a pregnant young woman named Keely Miller. As it turned out, Darrin was the father of Keely’s baby. It later came out that she and Josh were not dating but just close friends while Mama June claimed they were living together. No one is quite clear on their status but it is all too close for comfort.
Now, it appears that things are completely done between Josh and Keely but what went wrong? Darrin Kitchens’ ex-wife, Ariel, who is also very close to Keely, released a statement as to what transpired. It was then shared on Reddit:
The OP wrote this:
- Fresh Tea from Tik Tok..Darrin’s ex-wife,who is also close friends to Keely, has come out with another statement. She says Josh and Keely are no longer in contact at all.
So, where does that leave Josh Efird, and his living situation as Mama June did make it seem like he and Keely were roommates? This is getting even more complicated by the day.
Is This A Good Thing?
After the news broke that Josh Efird and Keely Miller were no longer in touch, what did followers have to say about it? Were they happy or plain confused?
- If it’s true, I respect the fact that they are both doing what is right for their respective families. Josh seems to be the only one in this whole situation even remotely worried about the kids.
- Setting up for primary physical custody of their kids. Smart move.
- Neither he or Pumpkin should be in new relationships at this stage of divorce of a longgg relationship, and figuring out how to co-parent.
This is probably the best thing for all parties involved. Plus, Josh appears to miss what he had with Pumpkin but she has clearly moved on with Darrin and is not looking back.
Do you think Josh is smart to stay single and away from Keely for the time being? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
