Naturally, fame can bring a lot of good things, but living in the public eye means that folks are constantly curious about what goes on in your life. Such is the case with Alana Thompson, who has been confronted with rumors about herself plenty of times over the years.

Among all the rumors that have circulated about Honey Boo Boo, the one that never seems to retire is related to her becoming a mother. Perhaps as a result of Thompson’s long-term relationship with Dralin Carswell and the history of young pregnancies in the family, mixed with a dose of body shaming, this TV star has been questioned about the matter time and again. Despite having shut down pregnancy rumors in the past, Thompson is facing them once more, as fans theorize that she may have a baby on the way.

Is Honey Boo Boo pregnant?

Alana Thompson does not have a baby, nor has she ever announced a pregnancy. The subject was even addressed by Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird, in an episode of Mama June: Family Crisis that aired last February. Pumpkin spoke about her concern for her youngest sister, hoping she would avoid getting pregnant too young like herself, their late sister Anna, and their mother June.

The sister also spoke about her wish for Honey Boo Boo to attend college, which is something the young star appears to be taking seriously. During a TikTok Live in April 2023, Alana Thompson claimed that she does not intend to have children before she finishes college. Of course, things don’t always go according to plan, and Thompson is allowed to change her mind on the subject. For the time being, though, there is no proof that she is pregnant, so fans should put the theories to rest. When she’s ready to become a mother, the TV personality will share the news with the public if she wishes to.
