How Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird’s Ex Josh Efird Reacted After Learning She’s Dating His Cousin

Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon’s new honey is raising eyebrows.

Months after the Mama June: Family Crisis star and her ex-husband, Josh Efird, called it quits after six years of marriage, she formed a new romance with his cousin Darrin Kitchens—and he had an emotional response to learning the news.

“I called my mom and asked her to come get the kids because I don’t want the kids to see me packing,” Josh explained in the latest preview clip from the show’s July 25 episode, per People. “I’ve never felt this sick to my stomach. But through all the anger and hurt, I look around the house and just flashes of some of the best moments of my life.”

Indeed, the 29-year-old—who shares kids Ella, 6, Bentley, 3, and 2-year-old twins Sylus and Stella with Pumpkin—started packing up his items to leave the home. Though Josh didn’t explicitly mention his relation to his ex-wife’s new partner, he revealed that he was aware that she moved on.
