At least two of “Mama June” Shannon’s daughters claim they had no clue their mother married Justin Stroud in a secret ceremony in March.
Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, 16, told E! News Monday that the courthouse nuptials — which made headlines in May — caught her “by surprise” because Shannon, 42, “was always one to say she would never get married.”
“But I mean, my mom now, she’s definitely different,” the former “Toddlers & Tiaras” star added.
Her 22-year-old sister, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird — who’s had sole custody of the teen since April — told the outlet she “didn’t know” about the wedding until she “got a receipt in [her] PO Box that said [Shannon] had applied for a marriage certificate.”
“I asked her about it just recently. She denied it,” Efird said. “And then eventually she was like, ‘Oh, I got married,’ and we were very, very shocked.”
According to E! News, neither daughter revealed how they feel about Stroud, 34, but Efird did seem upset that she and Thompson were not invited to what Shannon later called a “spur of the moment” wedding.
“If she feels like we don’t need to be a part of that then it is what it is,” Efird said.
Shannon — who is also mom to Anna Shannon, 27, and Jessica Shannon, 25 — and Stroud secretly tied the knot in Georgia on March 23 after less than a year of dating, the Wilkinson County court clerk confirmed to Page Six on May 31.
The secret wedding came one week after Stroud, a tattoo artist, was released from jail following his February arrest at a Florida gas station on an outstanding warrant for drug charges.
This is Shannon’s first marriage, as the reality star was never legally married to Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson (Alana’s father), although they considered themselves married.
Stroud was also Shannon’s first boyfriend after her highly publicized split from longtime boyfriend Geno Doak.
