“She’s Marrying Into the Same Family… Again?” Pumpkin Efird’s Engagement to Josh’s Cousin Shocks Fans.
Mama June star Pumpkin Efird and Darrin Kitchens are getting serious, so she answered if they are becoming one through marriage. She began dating her ex-husband Josh’s cousin while she was still legally married to him. June wasn’t in favor of her daughter being in such a relationship before divorce. Though she is more fond of Darrin than Josh, she still couldn’t support her.
Pumpkin revealed to June at the lunch date that Josh and Darrin aren’t biological brothers because Josh’s father is Darrin’s stepdad. Despite the clarification, June pointed out the long list of complexities that had been brought to the table. Shannon felt quite awkward about her girl picking someone from her ex’s family.
Mama June: Is Pumpkin Eyeing Marriage With Josh’s Brother?
Recently, June, Jessica, and Pumpkin showed up in an Access Hollywood interview to discuss the show’s new season storylines. Talking to the host, Pumpkin revealed how her new relationship with Darrin is going. She said that since her children stay with her and her partner on the weekend, they remain quite busy and worn out.
Darrin has a permanent, full-time job that gets him out in the morning and back in the afternoon. After that, the couple works in their house’s backyard and even plans date nights when the kids aren’t around. So far, she is loving his company, but doesn’t want to rush things at this point. She has further acknowledged her previous marriage mistakes.
Hence, Pumpkin’s past experience won’t let her get hitched with Josh’s cousin anytime soon. But the wedding should be somewhere in line. When June was asked to shed light on her daughter and Darrin’s love, she recognized his true potential. They took him on family vacations and found him very adjusting and of good nature.
Pumpkin explained she doesn’t feel guilty about picking herself up wherever needed. She is in a happy place with Josh while seeing Darrin. Their co-parenting may initially have been stressful, but it’s going pretty well these days. Despite having bittersweet memories of her marriage with Josh, she didn’t want to change things.
