The photos were taken to announce the arrival of Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon’s twin babies; however, Honey Boo Boo’s ring stole the show.

The former “Toddlers & Tiara’s” star is dating Dralin Carswell who is 20-years-old. Their age difference has been a hot topic of discussion since the couple went Instagram official last year.

Carswell was recently featured on an episode of “Mama June: Road to Redemption” and seen gifting Honey Boo Boo flowers on her sweet 16th birthday.

In an interview on Tuesday, May 11, the matriarch of the family said, “I’ve met Dralin. They’ve been together for over a year. People need to realize that she’s going to be 17 in August and that [Alana’s older sister] Pumpkin and Josh were the same age as they were.”

She continued to explain that people are up in arms due to interracial aspect of the relationship.

June said, “She is getting a lot of hate because she’s in an interracial relationship, he is older. But at the end of the day, Alana’s not that 6-, 7-year-old child y’all fell in love with 11 years ago. Alana has grown up, she’s graduating high school next year, guys!”

So, since Honey Boo Boo is graduating next year, does that mean a wedding is on the horizon? What does the diamond ring mean?

According to Page Six, the couple is not engaged. In fact, the ring she’s wearing is simply “just a ring” and nothing more.
