I remember being somewhat startled to learn that Sugar Bear is not the biological father of all of Mama June’s children. For whatever reason, I thought Sugar Bear was everybody’s daddy. But no. Sugar Bear only fathered Alana, also known as Honey Boo Boo. He was just a step-father to the older girls, Pumpkin, Chickadee and Chubbs. Sugar Bear and Mama June had a “recommitment ceremony/wedding” last year at their home in Georgia, and the bride wore camouflage and the happy couple left the ceremony on a lawn mower. I’m not even making that up. But all was not well in their relationship. It seems like Mama June believes Sugar Bear was fooling around. So they’ve separated!!
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’s Mama June and Sugar Bear have called it quits.
“Sugar Bear and I have decided to take some time apart to figure out some things in our relationship,” Mama June – aka June Shannon – tells PEOPLE in a statement.
“We are taking things day by day, but regardless of what happens, the girls will always be our number one priority. We want to thank y’all for your support.”
The stars of the hit TLC series held a recommitment ceremony just last year, but Mama June, 35, reportedly chose to end the relationship after allegedly discovering that Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson – who is father to 9-year-old Honey Boo Boo, Alana Thompson, and has served as a father figure to her older sisters Pumpkin, Chickadee and Chubbs – had dating profiles online.
“Never settle for a man who doesn’t treat you right,” Mama June told PEOPLE at the time of her recommitment ceremony. “If a guy doesn’t love everything about you, move on! There are plenty of other fish in the sea.”
Believe it or not, people actually do care about this. A lot of people like Mama June and for what it’s worth, Mama June has some common sense about money and relationships. She saves the reality show checks, Honey Boo Boo has a trust, and Mama June is nobody’s fool. I mean that. If she says Sugar Bear is cheating, I believe her. I also believe that this will probably make a somewhat interesting plot line on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. They’re like the Kardashians of Georgia, only I think Mama June has higher moral standing than all of the Kardashians put together.
