Josh Efird’s Baby Mama Breanna Godwin Proclaims Her Love for the ‘Mama June’ Star; Fans Declare Breanna Is “An Upgrade” From Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon

“He’s all yours, girl.”

Josh Efird’s current girlfriend and latest baby mama, Breanna Godwin, is taking her love for the father of five to TikTok, much to the approval of many Mama June: Family Crisis fans. 

As The Ashley previously told you, Josh and wife Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon called it quits in August 2024 after six years of marriage and four children together. Though the couple’s divorce wasn’t finalized until the following month, both were quick to move on, with Pumpkin beginning a relationship with Josh’s cousin Darrin Kitchens (whom she is still with) and Josh dating a woman named Keely, who at the time, was pregnant with Darrin’s child (allegedly). 

While Josh and Keely eventually split, Josh soon moved on with Breanna, who gave birth to Josh’s fifth child, daughter Sadie Mae, in May.

Breanna recently took to TikTok to declare her love for her baby daddy while lip-syncing to “Adore You” by Miley Cyrus and telling followers that, “If the world was against him, I’d be against the world!” 

“That includes you, Pumpkin!”

Josh’s new boo received multiple comments on her TikTok from people wishing her and Josh “the best” in their relationship, along with quite a few comments calling her an “upgrade” from Josh’s ex-wife, Pumpkin. 

“Ma’am… he 1000% upgraded! Respectfully,” one person wrote. “Wish the best for the two of you!” 

“Now this is an upgrade,” added another. “You are pretty and u don’t give off bad vibes. I’m happy for Josh, he’s such a good man.” 

While Josh isn’t featured in the latest TikTok that Breanna posted– or seemingly any of the TikTok videos she has posted– Breanna has hinted at their relationship on the social media platform more than once, with one fan even thanking her for “making Josh happy, unlike Pumpkin.” 

“I pray and hope she can heal Josh[’s] broken heart,” another wrote on a TikTok that Breanna posted earlier this month, to which Breanna responded, “I can’t heal it. That’s something only he can do, but I’ve always been supporting him every step of the way. As much as I can.” 

Despite many fans seemingly approving of Josh’s new relationship, it appears that the same cannot be said for Pumpkin.

“Look, I ain’t got around to sendin’ y’all a congrats bouquet of corn nuts yet, but it’s on my list of things to do…”

While promoting the new season of ‘Mama June: Family Crisis’ last month, Pumpkin gave an update on her coparenting relationship with Josh, telling Entertainment Tonight that, “it has been a bit of a challenge” since Josh became a father of five.

“We coparent cordially, I’ll say that,” she said. “It depends on the day.” 

Pumpkin also confirmed to the outlet that she is currently living in her and Josh’s home, while Josh is living with Breanna.

  1. Josh and punkin was young kids. I don’t blame them at all . It takes two to tangle. Remember punkin and her mother took him in when could have been homeless. He never put his family on camera because they were just as dysfunctional as her family. Josh mother and father were divorced as well. People always drags the women and support the men. But in support of punkin, she’s beautiful, and a loving mother. She deserves someone to make her happy as well. Hold your head up girl and no matter what you gave your best and that’s all that matters.


    1. I hope the show gets canceled, Punkin is just like June after all. I was shocked to hear what she has become.


    1. Pumpkin lives in her and Josh’s home with Cuzinhusband. They don’t live in the filming house they used to live in the house Anna got married at. Rumors was she got excited out of her wharehouse.


  2. i’ve only seen the first episode of the new season but as someone who was in josh’s position in a 9 year relationship, i genuinely wanna know why is there so much hate towards pumpkin about their breakup?


    1. Watch all the past episodes. Her family josh down as low as he could go. Im sure was a tired, TIRED man. Couldn’t focus on fixing and healing himself because he was busy cleaning up June’s messes.


      1. oh no i DEFINITELY knew june was a huge reason why their marriage didn’t work out and he had every reason to be frustrated but i just don’t get besides that why are people acting like it’s pumpkin’s entire fault or like she cheated like he hasn’t been in two different relationships and already has a new kid in the 10 months they’ve been apart


        1. I agree that Pumpkin handled things in a civil manner (as did Josh) but I think people are upset with how she went about initiating the divorce. I get that they were going through a rough times and he wasn’t communicating well, but she kind of made up her mind and sprung it on him and told everybody but him first. I can understand why he wasn’t communicating well with her since he tried for years with his concerns about June and Pumpkin always ended up going against him. He just wanted to live in peace and have the Drama June out of their lives completely and Pumpkin kept giving her more chances. I’m sure it also hurt him that she gave June a hundred chances after everything she’d done and how many times she’d cut her off, but then decided with finality to divorce him rather quickly. As far as him moving on quickly, I do find it weird and worrisome, but I think he’s just used to being a family-centered man and probably didn’t know how to function outside of a serious relationship.

          So, I think they did handle it and much better than a lot of reality stars do, but I can also understand why people feel Pumpkin did Josh wrong after he stood by her through so much and also helped raise Alana without complaint. I think Pumpkin had a hard time treating Josh like the man of the house (or even really just taking his opinions into serious consideration) because of the way she was brought up.


          1. First off, I apologize for my initial comment. I just came out of surgery and was in the recovery room. I re read it and it makes no sense lol. But yes, pumpkin NEVER gave joah time nor a chance to work on and fix himself. He needed to be built back up as a man and needed just as much attention and healing as pumpkin, June, Alana, etc. From Anna’s death.


        2. He not dating Pumpkins cousin whom they hooked up with at Darrin & Josh grandmothers funeral. Josh moved in with Keely to help her out. Keely was pregnant by Darrin the Cuzinhusband. This girl just had his baby. Pumpkin also had a girlfriend during the marriage. I’m sure it hurts worse if your own relatives take your wife!


  3. How much is child support for FOUR kids PLUS the cost of an additional newborn? I have a great job and make a decent amount of money, but even still there’s no way in high hell I could afford FIVE children. Hopefully this new girl is a good one and not a pass-around which seems to be the norm for coupling among this group. Josh needs to go get a snip…immediately. Pumpkin needs to have a REAL come to Jesus and straighten her stuff out for the sake of her children and the rest of HER own life!


      1. Makes sense. Still, the sheer cost of 5 kids is insane. I’m guessing the biggest blessing is in the show STILL being on, so there’s that. But Josh is now back to being a regular guy working a regular job. Pumpkin better hope she isn’t sued out the rear-end for that fiasco of a business she ran with Alana (mostly just used her name!). I’ve heard she’s going to try reviving that business again? What kind of insane person would buy from her after seeing how she abused all the money the first time! Same people who bought tickets to the FYRE Festival…AGAIN! 😀


    1. Neither of them is paying for child support. They agreed that they wanted to do 50/50 custody and said that that each would pay what is needed during their week with the kids.


    1. @clara ~ as another poster said one of the other times you posted this: get a life. move on. 🙄🙄
      (also ~ if there’s a certain topic you’re interested in, you could just, y’know, type it into the search bar. seems pretty obvious, no?)


      1. What exactly is she even talking about? I’ve seen her say this more than once and been confused every time.


  4. Yes, most definitely an upgrade!!! Josh is a good man and father and I hope he finds happiness and love. He deserves it.


    1. Agreed. I hope he finds someone he loves just as much (if it’s not the current one) and ends up much happier.
