Stars of reality show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, June “Mama” Shannon and her partner Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson, have separated.
According to TMZ.com the pair have decided to take some time apart from one another.
June allegedly caught Mike talking to other women online. He reportedly had a PlentyofFish.com profile with the handle “Georgiafighter31054” where he wrote “love to hunt fish and ride 4wheelers and have a good time. i luve muddy Boggs and love to ride in the mudd.” He also had other profiles.
After being caught, his partner is reportedly planning on taking the kids and moving closer to relatives as soon as filming wraps.
They have released a statement: “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 #1 priority. We want to thank ya’ll for your support.”
The former couple are parents to Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson. Alana’s half-sisters (almost) all have different fathers.
June and Mike do not appear to be legally wed, hence no divorce, but they had a commitment ceremony on television. She did wear a ring at one point, however, but she’s since taken it off.
