Mama June Josh Efird’s Pregnant Girlfriend Revealed?
Josh Efird and Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird seemed to be fairly happy for the nine years they were together and the six they were married. During that time, their romance was showcased on reality television, following the birth of their first child, Ella in 2017. They then tied the knot in 2018 and eventually took in Pumpkin’s youngest sister, Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson. It shifted their dynamic as they were new parents and newlyweds. However, they did what needed to be done for the whole family’s sake. Bentley joined the family in June 2021 followed by twins, Stella and Sylus in May 2022.
They did their best but, by early 2023, Pumpkin’s sister, Anna Cardwell was diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal carcinoma. This crushed the whole family and sadly, Anna passed in December 2023 leading Pumpkin to become immensely depressed. Josh was worried for his wife as he had never seen her this down but he hoped she would get stronger by the day. Unfortunately, on August 1st, 2024, Pumpkin filed for divorce and it looks like she has moved on. Now, it also seems Josh has, as well with a young woman named Keely.
Keely is expecting though Mama June commented on something Elle Bee posted and it seems she was pregnant before she started dating Josh. A Reddit thread started to discuss Keely and there was a lot to say:
- Man these people are so codependent it’s incredible…
- I swear all this is a publicity stunt
- These people need to learn how to be single! It’s pathetic.
- Why do people always move on with other people who look just like them?

Co-Dependent & A New Baby
Many Mama June fans have repeatedly commented about how Pumpkin and Josh Efird cannot be single. They seem very co-dependent, rushing into new romances as soon as the old one ends. This is very Mama June-type behavior, someone who could never be without a man, even if he was toxic. At the same time, many could not help but wonder if Keely’s baby was Josh’s which is a valid question. Though June said it was not, there had to be more than just her word. As it turns out, one of Keely’s friends commented on the thread and shared this:
- It’s not Josh’s baby. They didn’t start seeing each other until after the separation. She is my best friend so I’m fully aware of who her sperm donor is.
Additionally, there are a lot of questions about whether or not Josh or Pumpkin cheated on each other. Even though they filed on August 1st, they have been separated for longer than that so some details are blurry. Hopefully, they are happy and this is not a stunt to get Mama June: Family Crisis renewed for another season.
