Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird has filed for divorce from her husband of six years, Josh Efird. The couple shares four children: Ella, Bentley, Stella, and Sylus. According to TMZ, Pumpkin filed the divorce papers earlier this week. They have agreed that their marriage is “irretrievably broken.”
Emotional Struggles and Family Crisis
The latest season of Mama June: Family Crisis was emotional for Pumpkin. She struggled mentally after the death of her sister, Anna Cardwell. Pumpkin’s mental health deteriorated, affecting her ability to care for her children. Her husband, Josh, expressed concern for her well-being during this difficult time.
Financial and Custody Arrangements
Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird appears to be the main breadwinner of the family. She runs her own business and is active on social media. The divorce agreement includes joint custody of their children. They have a parenting plan to ensure both parents spend time with the kids. Medical expenses and extracurricular activities will be split equally.
Pumpkin will remain in their home, as Josh’s name is being removed from the lease. The couple will not receive alimony. Josh has 60 days to move out. The divorce documents state that both parties have waived their right to child support due to the joint custodial relationship.

Background of the Relationship
Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird and Josh Efird married in 2018. Pumpkin, who did not want to be a teen mother, became one nonetheless. They also took in her younger sister, Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson, during Mama June’s substance abuse struggles. Despite many challenges, they managed to keep their marriage intact until now.
With the divorce, it’s unclear how this will impact the future of Mama June: Family Crisis. Fans are left wondering if this storyline will continue in another season. Both Pumpkin and Josh will focus on co-parenting their children and moving forward separately.
