Mama June star Pumpkin Efird’s oldest daughter, Ella, appeared unrecognizable as fans glimpsed her on social media. She is now 7 years old and has had a significant growth spurt. Fans spotted her with her mom heading out to practice soccer. However, it was tough for fans to believe she was the same baby Ella they met earlier.
Pumpkin was just 17 years old when she and her ex-husband Josh found out they were expecting their first child. She was too young to understand whether she was ready to embrace motherhood. While she showed her excitement, there was a point when she just wished the baby to get out of her womb immediately. Finally, she gave birth to her daughter in December 2017, and Pumpkin and Josh married soon after.
Mama June: Pumpkin & Josh Have Joint Legal Custody Of Their Kids!
Josh and Pumpkin Efird divorced six years after their marriage. The former Mama June couple tied the knot in 2018 and welcomed four children together. The first is daughter Ella, and the rest is son Bentley with twins Sylus and Stella. Hence, the parents have agreed to share their kids’ joint physical and legal custody.
According to official court documents, Pumpkin and Josh included a parenting plan within the divorce settlement agreement. Each of them appealed for the right to ask for child support. Later, Pumpkin opened up about her family in a US Weekly interview. She said that babies changed things for her and Josh as they became a team. However, she admitted both of them were facing marriage problems.
Mama June: Pumpkin Posts Daughter Ella’s Picture As Fans Compare Her With Alana!
Pumpkin Efird took to her Instagram recently to upload a cute photo of Ella. The mom-daughter duo was out for Ella to play soccer. However, Mama June fans were stunned to find Ella looking almost like Pumpkin’s younger sister Alana aka Honey Boo Boo. Some fans turned to Reddit to discuss how much growth she had.
According to Redditors, both Ella and her aunt Alana have sweet, chubby cheeks. While they favored such features, they complained that Pumpkin did not show Ella as much as they last saw her on Family Crisis. Even the show’s new season is all set to release in the Summer of 2025.
Ella’s growth seemed unbelievable for a few fans. But it is known to them she underwent a big growth spurt in recent times, just like Honey Boo Boo. The thread’s original poster wrote, “Wow, I can’t believe how big Ella has gotten. She is growing up!” Back in WEtv days, Alana shifted to Josh and Pumpkin’s house when Ella was still an infant.
This happened because of June, who used to take drugs often and took less care of her daughter Alana. Her substance addiction got so bad for her that Alana landed at Pumpkin’s place and embraced her sister’s kids with open arms. That’s how Ella and Alana became closer to one another, as the former had a continuous presence of the latter.
