Happier news for the Honey Boo Boo bunch! Just days after Here Comes Honey Boo Boo stars Mama June and Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson announced they were separating, Lee “Uncle Poodle” Thompson confirmed he’s engaged to his boyfriend Alan.
On Wednesday, Sept. 17, Alana‘s uncle shared on Twitter: “To answer questions … YES! Alan and I fact Engaged! I proposed to him this past weekend and he said YES!” In another tweet, Uncle Poodle, who was diagnosed as HIV-positive in 2012, gushed: “Damn I love this man, the love of my life and now fiancee, Alan I love you!”
Just last week, Mama June told Us Weekly in a statement that she and Sugar Bear have decided to split, 16 months after their commitment ceremony. “Sugar Bear and I have decided to take some time apart to figure out some things in our relationship,” she told Us. “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 TLC stars are parents to daughter Alana “Honey Boo Boo.” Mama June is also mom to daughters Pumpkin, Chickadee, and Chubbs from a previous relationship.
