Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon, known from Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, has embarked on a new romantic journey following her recent divorce from Josh Efird. Pumpkin filed for divorce on August 1, and she has since shared glimpses of her blossoming relationship with Darrin Kitchens.
On September 22, Pumpkin took to Facebook to share sweet moments from a Koe Wetzel concert, where she and Darrin were spotted sharing some subtle PDA. In a heartfelt photo, Darrin leans down to kiss the top of Pumpkin’s head, while she beams with joy. For their date night, Pumpkin sported a denim jacket, black shirt, and pants, complemented by striking red boots. Darrin matched the country vibe in a white ball cap, a red-and-blue short-sleeved button-down, dark jeans, and brown boots. Pumpkin captioned the post with heart emojis, writing, “Koe Wetzel with my fav plus one,” while Darrin expressed his excitement, stating, “Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else on a Saturday night.”
Fans are embracing Pumpkin’s new romance, with many commenting on the couple’s adorable chemistry. One follower praised them, saying, “Beautiful couple. Love y’all,” while another noted, “IM SO DANG HAPPY FOR YOU!!! That smile is so genuine Lauryn!!!”
The couple appears to share a passion for live music, having first debuted their relationship at a concert just weeks after Pumpkin’s divorce. In an August 10 post, Pumpkin cuddled up to Darrin at a Zach Bryan concert, wearing a sheer black top and ripped jeans, and captioned it, “How lucky are we” with a heart emoji. Darrin echoed the sentiment on his own page, sharing the same photo and writing, “The greatest risk in life is not taking one at all. So thankful for you!!!”
Darrin, an Equipment Operator at Vulcan Materials Company, hails from Macon, Georgia, which is close to where Pumpkin and her family are based. As she embraces this new chapter in her life, fans are excited to see what the future holds for Pumpkin and Darrin.
