Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird is engaged to Darrin Kitchens. The Here Comes Honey Boo Boo alum and OnlyFans creator shared the news on October 8, 2026, posting photos of a rooftop proposal and saying she was still “over the moon.” The engagement was reported by TMZ, Page Six and E! News.
A rooftop proposal in Atlanta
According to TMZ, Kitchens proposed on the evening of October 7 after arranging a private rooftop terrace at an Atlanta restaurant. Efird’s sister, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, and Alana’s boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, were there for the moment. TMZ also reported that cameras for the family’s WE tv series were filming, so the proposal may appear in an upcoming season.
In her announcement, Efird described their two years together as a “wild ride” and thanked Kitchens for supporting her and her children. She also celebrated the next chapter for their family and joked that “The Future Mrs. Kitchens” has a nice ring to it.
What the engagement means for her public life
Efird became widely known through the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo reality-TV franchise and has since built a separate creator business on OnlyFans. Her engagement is a personal-life update, separate from earlier coverage of her reported platform earnings. Those earnings figures should not be confused with this announcement, and this story does not treat them as newly reported income.
The couple’s relationship has also been discussed publicly in connection with Efird’s OnlyFans career. In a March 2026 interview with TMZ, Kitchens spoke about supporting her work. That earlier interview provides context, but it is not a new statement made for the engagement announcement.
