Desperate Josh Efird is seemingly sending out a hopeful message to his estranged wife, Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird.

Desperate Josh Efird Sends Hopeful Message To Estranged Wife, Pumpkin

When Josh Efird and Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird split, fans were surprised. They seemed happy and had four beautiful children together. More so, they really helped balance one another out after nine years together and six years of marriage. The duo had been together through very hard times. These included Mama June’s addiction and taking in Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson to raise as one of their own. Then, in early 2023, Anna Cardwell was diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal carcinoma and that ripped the family apart. Josh was incredibly worried about Pumpkin and her mental health.

Since Josh and Pumpkin split, it has gotten strange. He was allegedly dating a pregnant woman named Keely whereas Pumpkin started seeing Darrin Kitchens. Darrin happens to be Josh’s cousin and they may have been together before she split from Josh. More so, the affair could have caused the divorce. It then was revealed that Keely was having Darrin’s baby and she and Josh were just close friends. Now, Pumpkin and Darrin are traveling and flaunting their romance here, there, and everywhere but it appears Josh is not over it completely. He just reposted a heartbreaking TikTok.

This was the first part of the reposted video and it was just devastating to watch. Fans have been asking about Josh Efird and how Mama June can allow Pumpkin to flaunt her new man. They have even been calling Pumpkin ‘June 2.0.’ The video ended with this sad message.

Though Josh does not make any of his own videos, he does repost a lot and the last two have been heartbreaking. He really cares about his wife and his family and now, from his posts, it feels like that has been ripped from him.

Is Josh Okay?

Pumpkin has spoken out briefly, saying this was a mutual decision. However, Josh Efird has not said anything yet regarding the split. Mama June also speaks out whenever she has the chance to clarify situations when it may not be her place:

Did this rub followers the wrong way?

• I will not be watching anymore. It seems fake to me after the news that Pumpkin and Josh are divorcing. I cannot imagine either with anyone else!!!!!!
• I don’t think Keely is a good option for Josh if she doesn’t even know who the baby father is. Find someone mature. Josh is too good for that mess. Seems to be anyway.
• Pumpkin is just like her mother needs a man to keep her company or be with

Followers also felt June should use punctuation because this may have given some clarity but also gave them a headache. In the end, hopefully, Josh will find someone who makes him truly happy. This is very messy and not in a fun way.
