Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson Is Not Engaged, Ignore The Rumors

Guys, it’s just a ring! Nothing attached to it. Anybody can wear a ring on any finger of their choice, be it the thumb, the index finger, anywhere, but, when you put on a ring on “that” finger… It’s certain that it’ll definitely send engagement signals out. Whether it be a plastic ring or a diamond ring, it’ll surely give the vibes of “Awwwnn she’s engaged, ohhh, he’s engaged, congratulations”.

In Alana Boo Boo’s case, it’s a well-known fact that the Toddlers and Tiaras alum is dating Dralin Carswell, 20, so, the minute fans caught sight of the diamond ring on Alana’s ring finger, it sparked reactions as to whether she secretly got engaged to Carswell. Rumors that Alana had accepted a proposal from Carswell started circling after Alana’s sister Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon shared photos of her family — including Alana wearing the ring in question — posing with Shannon’s newborn twins.

A rep for Alana Boo Boo has reassured her fans that the 16-year-old is not engaged, that the ring is “just a ring” and nothing more.

Honey Boo Boo’ – Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Doesn’t Have Friends

Alana’s relationship with Carswell has been subject to criticism from fans who question their four-year age gap — while Alana is still legally a minor. Alana’s mom, June “Mama June” Shannon spoke about the relationship in a conversation with TooFab. “People need to realize that she’s going to be 17 in August and that Pumpkin and Josh were the same age as they were.”

She continued, “She is getting a lot of hate because she’s in an interracial relationship, he is older. But at the end of the day, Alana’s not that 6-, 7-year-old child y’all fell in love with 11 years ago. Alana has grown up, she’s graduating high school next year, guys!”

In August last year, Alana told Teen Vogue magazine that Carswell might be her “only friend” because she doesn’t trust people her age. “To be honest, I do not have many friends. At all,” she said. “Because I feel like folks are so much like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m friends with Honey Boo Boo.” She added, “I don’t trust nobody really, so I don’t have friends.”
