Mama June Admits Her Marriage
In the Instagram video, 42-year-old Mama June admitted that she was frightened of anything having to do with Marriage. However, 34-year-old Stroud managed to make her overcome her fear since he “wifey’d” her up. As per the reports on Page Six on Tuesday, the marriage of the couple is a confirmed thing. The media outlet also managed to get their hands on a series of pictures that displayed the couple’s PDA in full burst. It is assumed that the pictures took place during their Panama City honeymoon.
In March, the engagement rumors between Stroud and Mama June flew around after the couple was seen shopping for rings in an Auburn Mall outlet of Kay Jewelers in Alabama. Stroud is Mama June’s first husband. She was legally never married to Mike Thompson (aka Sugar bear). However, she shares Alana Thompson (Honey Boo Boo), her daughter, with Mike. Regardless of legality, the two had regarded themselves as a married couple for years.
