In a twist worthy of reality TV headlines, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird, best known from Mama June: From Not to Hot, has found herself at the center of a shocking family scandal — and it’s causing serious waves.

According to multiple sources close to the couple, Pumpkin’s ex-husband, Josh Efird, abruptly moved out of their shared home after discovering that she has started dating none other than his own cousin. The revelation reportedly left Josh blindsided and heartbroken, prompting him to leave behind a scathing handwritten note filled with anger and betrayal.

Insiders claim Josh had no idea the relationship was forming behind the scenes. “He was devastated. It wasn’t just the breakup — it was who she chose next that cut the deepest,” a source said. The pair, who share children together, had been navigating a rocky patch for months, but this revelation was the final straw.
The drama has sparked a whirlwind of reaction online, with fans of the Efird family taking sides. Some are defending Pumpkin’s right to move on, while others are calling the new romance a “family betrayal.”
Neither Pumpkin nor Josh has made an official public statement, but the tension is clearly boiling over behind closed doors. With emotions high and family ties hanging in the balance, fans are watching closely to see what comes next.
