Heartbreak has hit McIntyre, Georgia. It was confirmed by TLC that Honey Boo Boo's Mama June and Sugar Bear have decided to separate. The couple are parents to 9-year-old Alana, aka "Honey Boo Boo," and June's three other daughters.
It was just last year that "Mama June" Shannon and Mike "Sugar Bear" Thomspon expressed their love in a "commitment ceremony." How could anyone forget that camouflage wedding gown?
A statement from TLC on behalf of the couple says, "Sugar Bear and I have decided to take some time apart to figure out some things in our relationship. We are taking things day by day, but regardless of what happens, the girls will always be our number one priority. We want to thank y'all for your support." Did you read that in Mama June's voice? We did.
The couple have been together a decade so it's sad to see them separate, but news like this always sparks a little controversy. Could the couple be seeking headlines in order to keep their fame and TLC reality show alive? Nowadays, that's always a possibility.
