Alana, known as ‘Honey Boo Boo’, talks about her relationship with Mama June following allegations of theft.

Mama June‘s daughter is letting bygones be bygones because, in her words, “You only live once.”

Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson is prepared to move on from her mother spending several thousand dollars from her Coogan account without her consent.

The forgiveness from Mama June’s daughter comes as the reality TV star announces her decision to focus on a healthier path for her weight loss journey.

Discussing her bond with Mama June following the alleged money theft, Alana shared that despite the initial negative impact, their relationship has now shifted to a more positive place. She remarked, “We’re doing pretty well. I mean, everything’s good at the moment.”

She further emphasized the importance of moving on from past issues, saying, “I guess you only live once … I mean, you can’t mourn over the same thing forever.”

Alana mentioned further in the interview that her mom has started repaying some of the money she took from her Coogan account. The 19-year-old teased that a scene in the upcoming season of “Mama June: Family Crisis” shows her mother giving her a large check for her troubles.

In an interview last month, Alana revealed that Mama June had returned the $35,000 she earned from her appearance on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2018.

However, Alana expressed her frustration, stating that she has yet to receive any of the money she earned from starring in TLC’s “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” between 2012 and 2014.

She reflected on June’s past struggles with addiction, noting, “When she was bad in her addiction, I just kept thinking about the day she’d recover.”Fortunately, June has been sober for over five years now. 

Per In Touch, Alana mentioned that while their relationship is improving, she has chosen to manage her expectations, hoping for continued progress.

The truth came to the fore during season 6 of “Mama June: Family Crisis,” when Alana and her sister Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird discovered the child star had only $33,000 in an account that they believed should have contained six figures. 

Alana voiced her concerns in a March 2024 episode, emphasizing the need to locate her missing money since she had been part of the reality TV world from the age of 6.

While Mama June initially denied taking any of Alana’s money, she eventually admitted to withdrawing some funds, claiming that it was used to support Alana during her childhood.

The reality star highlighted that Alana has been managing her finances since she was 12 years old, emphasizing that Alana could take care of herself.

Last year, The Blast reported that Alana, known from “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” was navigating her relationship with her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, whom she has been dating for four years. 

While Carswell was reportedly keen to start a family and envisioned having multiple children, Alana remained uncertain about becoming a parent at this stage. 

The couple reportedly cohabits together as she pursues her neonatal nursing degree in Denver. The reality star expressed her commitment to prioritizing her education before considering having children. 

She mentioned that she would prefer to wait until after graduation to discuss starting a family. Although she is open to the idea of having one child in the future, she firmly states that she does not want to have kids while she is still in school. 

“I told him, ‘I can meet you in the middle, and we can have one.’ One and done, that’s it,” Alana declared when asked how many kids she wanted later.

While she was not ready for a child, the college student did not hold back on praising her boyfriend’s excellent traits. She described him as supportive and caring and shared how he encourages her to stay focused on her studies, especially when she struggles with grades.

Alana acknowledged that his presence in her life makes her feel supported, stating, “He’s my boyfriend and my best friend.” Her family also spoke positively about Carswell, affirming that he has become an integral part of their lives over the past four years.

Alana’s sister, Lauryn, praised him and his family, while another sister, Jessica, pointed out how they are absolutely inseparable, saying, “If you see Alana, you see Dralin.”

However, despite her family’s endorsement of Carswell as “The One,” some cloud of doubt still hovers around Alana. The reality star has reportedly remained noncommittal, expressing uncertainty about the future but hopeful nonetheless.
