Alana Thompson has finally responded to the persistent online rumors claiming she’s expecting, putting an end to years of speculation.
The 19-year-old, beloved by many as Honey Boo Boo, sat down with DailyMail.com for an exclusive interview on Friday. This came just ahead of the much-anticipated premiere of Mama June: Family Crisis’s seventh season.
During the interview, Alana appeared with her mother, Mama June Shannon, and was asked if there were any misconceptions about her she’d like to address.
Without hesitation, she replied, ‘The one that I’m pregnant.’
Clearly setting the record straight, Alana added, ‘I’m not pregnant at all.’
Referring to the rumor mill, she said: ‘I’ve literally been pregnant for two years. I’m either pregnant or I have a kid already – and I don’t have either of the above!’
Despite the false pregnancy speculation, Mama June, 45, revealed that the family have taken the theories in their stride.
‘We joke about it,’ she quipped. ‘We say, “don’t lie Alana! You’ve got twins!”‘

Alana stressed that the obsession with her family plans needs to stop.
‘I don’t have any kids,’ she stated, doubling down. ‘I’m not looking forward to having any kids right now. Nothing.’
In a Reddit discussion only yesterday, fans questioned whether Alana might be having a baby.
Many, however, have criticized the hearsay.
‘Alana has spoken so many times about how she struggles with body image, especially after June had the surgery, can we stop talking about her body and accusing her of being pregnant?’ one said.
‘That’s just rude and pointless. If she is, she’ll eventually reveal it, if she’s not we’re just hurting her feeling for no reason.’
Another penned: ‘I’m not believing this because everyone is always making up weird rumors about Alana being pregnant every five seconds.’
Alana is loved up with her 24-year-old boyfriend Dralin Carswell, whom she’s been in a relationship since 2021.
