Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird Soars in Love With New Man

Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird is soaring on the wings of love with her new beau and isn’t shy about flaunting their romance. Just recently, on August 1st, Lauryn filed for divorce from her husband of six years, Josh Efird. Despite the fresh split, she’s already diving back into the dating pool eagerly. Here’s the lowdown on what she and her new man are up to.

The news of Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird filing for divorce came as a shock. There hadn’t been any glaring signs of trouble in her marriage. However, Josh Efird had voiced some concerns over Lauryn’s mental health following the passing of her sister, Anna Cardwell. Nevertheless, the couple didn’t openly display any significant issues, proving that appearances can indeed be deceptive. Lauryn mentioned that they had been separated for a few months and asserted that the split was mutual. Speculations then arose about her dating a guy named Darrin Kitchens, who happens to be Josh’s cousin.

Further complicating matters, Josh’s and Darrin’s grandmother passed away in April, and it was right after this event that Lauryn and Darrin drew closer. This turn of events likely spelled the end for Lauryn and Josh. The fact that Lauryn started dating Darrin, not just any time but at the grandmother’s funeral while she was still married to Josh, fueled the rumors. Lauryn and Darrin first publicly appeared together at a Zach Bryan concert, and now they’ve taken things a step further by heading to Las Vegas with Lauryn’s mom, Mama June, Justin Stroud, and some friends. Darrin has been humorously dubbed the new stepdaddy, a label some fans felt was quite insensitive to Josh.

Lauryn didn’t hesitate to share their Vegas escapades on her Facebook page, proudly displaying her new beau once again. Here is a glimpse of their happy vacation through a post on Facebook:

Despite the rocky relationship she has had with her mother, it seems Lauryn decided to put those issues aside for this trip. She appeared tipsy and joyfully in love, something that likely made the journey smoother. Fans, after seeing the affectionate display between Lauryn and Darrin, were left to ponder their opinions on this new romance.

Surprisingly, most fans seem thrilled to witness Lauryn so happy:

• “Love this for you, girly!”
• “Happiness looks good on you, girl. I love you, Pumpkin. Do your thing, girl!”
• “You look sooo happy!”
• “I’ve watched you from the beginning, and I want nothing but happiness for you! You’re amazing, keep on shining, girl.”

There is a collective hope that this new relationship is not just a rebound but something that genuinely brings joy to Lauryn’s life. The wish is for them to nurture each other’s souls and not inflict any harm in the process.
