PUMPKIN’S husband, Josh Efird has showed his protective side as he charged into Honey Boo Boo’s bedroom after thinking she was having an intimate moment with her boyfriend.
Honey Boo Boo – real name Alana Thompson – has been under the care of her older sister and brother-in-law since last month.
In a preview clip for Friday’s episode of the family’s reality series, Mama June: Road to Redemption, Josh, 25, acted like a concerned parent when the teen was having alone time with her beau.
The scene shows Alana, 16, sitting on her bed while her 21-year-old boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, sat at the other end.
The pair were leaned in close to one another, reading from a notebook, when Josh abruptly broke them up.
The father-of-four barged into the room, startling the couple as they quickly pulled apart.

“Sorry, man, you guys just studying?” he asked Alana and Dralin, who appeared shocked by the intrusion.
“Yeah,” Dralin innocently responded.
Alana looked away, seemingly embarrassed by her brother-in-law’s actions.
“Welp, I mean… somebody gave me some misleading information,” Josh regretfully replied.
The clip then flashes to a meme of Pumpkin and Josh’s oldest child, Ella, four, speculating to her father that the lovebirds may be kissing.
This isn’t the first time Josh has played the over-protective parent role with his wife’s little sister.
In a past show clip, Josh went on a hunt for Alana after she went missing while on a date with her older boyfriend.
The moment occurred when the TV star was enjoying dinner at a restaurant arcade with Dralin.
Their evening was interrupted when Josh called the restaurant, questioning the teenager’s whereabouts.
The young father told management: “If there’s an Alana Thompson there at the premises could you page her and tell her to call her father/brother-in-law, please?”
Alana and Dralin were then shocked to hear her name called out over the loudspeaker at the restaurant as an employee asked: “Is there an Alana Thompson here?
“Can you call home, please?”
The TLC star’s boyfriend remarked: “They’re talking about you!” to which she replied: “Oh my god,” before taking out her phone.
Alana then called her sister’s husband, saying: “I mean, I’m not finna check my phone every five seconds Josh, we’re on a date.
“Okay, well, we’re having fun! I’m gonna be home by ten. Whatever,” she closed while rolling her eyes.
Alana and Dralin finished their date before heading home to appease Josh, who was waiting with a red baseball bat by the door.
The father of four watched through the windows as the child star got her first kiss from her much-older boyfriend.
He wretched while seeing the display of affection before Dralin left for the night.
But later, Josh admitted he was happy for Alana, who has had a rough childhood dealing with her mother, June “Mama June” Shannon’s addiction.
“Look I was going to say something to Alana, but I’m not. For the first time in a long time, Alana seems very happy, so I don’t think that I’m going to ruin that.
“I’m going to leave it alone and let Alana be happy,” he decided.
In a confessional, the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo alum discussed her first kiss, saying: “Oh my god, Dralin just kissed me for the first time.
“Ugh, I could get used to that. I mean, it wasn’t very long, but it was like wooooo. It’s like one of them little movies where they just play the music and your hair just…” she explained while flipping the sides of her brunette locks back.
The Sun previously reported that Alana has been dating the college student since early 2021.
Mama June’s daughter Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird recently responded to rumors that her younger sister is engaged to her boyfriend and revealed the truth behind the diamond ring her sister has been sporting.
Pumpkin, 22, exclusively told The Sun: “Me and my husband love Dralin. He’s very respectful and treats Alana with the utmost respect. He is around us and our kids a bunch also, and we love him for Alana.”
Despite the diamond ring the reality star has been wearing on her wedding finger, Pumpkin clarified that it is not actually an engagement ring but that it is actually a promise ring from Dralin.
The new mother of twins added that he gave the jewelry to Alana, “probably last year. I’m not exactly sure the exact date.”
The couple appears to be going strong as they recently took a trip to Hollywood, California, to meet fans.
