Here’s what June, Alana, Lauryn, and Jessica are up to now.
She also worked towards rebuilding the trust that she had lost from her family.
The once sassy, sparkly pageant queen began attending nursing school in 2023.
The southern belle hasn’t breezed by without her own online controversies throughout the years.
The couple began dating when Alana was just 16, while Dralin was 20.
Despite the backlash and concern, Thompson defended her relationship.
Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird was also present for the interview and doubled down on supporting the relationship.
She frequently posts"Day in My Life" videos to TikTokshowing her experiences in college.
The couple welcomed their second daughter, Kylee Cardwell, in 2015.
The Cardwells divorced in 2017, and shortly following the split, Cardwell began dating Elridge Toney.
The couple married in March 2023, motivated to do so after her diagnosis.
In January 2023, Cardwell was diagnosed with Stage 4 Adrenal Carcinoma.
After almost a year-long fight, Cardwell passed away surrounded by family in December 2023.
June Shannon shared the crushing news onInstagramthe following day.
“With the breaking heart, we are announcing that @annamarie35 is no longer with us.
She passed away in my home last night peacefully at 11:12 PM,” wrote Shannon.
Ultimately, the judge ruled that Kaitlyn be placed in Shannon’s care.
Somewhat unexpectedly, Efird filed for divorce from Joshua in August 2024, confirmed byUs Weekly.
It didn’t take long for Efird to find love again.
She has continually posted adorable photos of the couple and snaps of Kitchens playing with her four kids.
In 2020, she traveled to California and underwent a $80,000 full-body makeover.
She received veneers, dyed her hair, had liposuction, and had a tummy tuck.
She revealed toHollywood Lifethat she couldn’t be happier with the results.
“It’s been life-changing.
I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” she continued.
“I really enjoy the way that I’m turning out to be.”
Shannon has continued to embrace aspects of herself that she wanted to keep hidden.
“It feels real good that people are supporting me,” she remarked toEntertainment Tonightin 2023.
The person that inspired her to come out?
Her now-fiancee, Shyann McCant.
She posted an emotional collage video toTikTok, memorializing the moment she got on one knee.
She captioned the video, “Yall I’ve found my happy place, She said yes !
If [y’all can’t] tell by the picture I was a nervous [wreck]!!
Can’t wait to take this next step of life with you baby @Shyann McCant.”
