Their explosive family drama has riveted audiences for years, with money recently coming between them.
But it appears Mama June Shannon and her daughters have overcome their latest differences.
Mama June, 45, alongside her daughters Alana Thompson (better known as Honey Boo Boo), 19, Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird, 25, and Jessica ‘Chubbs’ Shannon, 28, reunited for their first family photo in years. This gathering was to promote their new TLC series, Mama June: Family Crisis, which they talked about during a Wednesday feature on Good Day New York.
And by the looks of the smiles on their faces, they definitely appear to be on a much more positive path.
During their joint interview, the women revealed how Mama June is now an active part of their lives ever since getting sober.

Mama June and her daughters, Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird, Alana Thompson a.k.a. Honey Boo Boo, and Jessica ‘Chubbs’ Shannon, appeared in high spirits after mending past differences during their Wednesday spot on Good Day New York.
‘We’re so proud of her and how far she’s come today,’ Alana said of her mother.
‘It is kind of nice now to have family dinner on Sundays and like the kids are running around and my mom’s able to be a part of that,’ Pumpkin said.
Alana also said they had things ‘figured’ out after her mother spent $30k of her money.
‘We figured it out and I mean, we’re here today, so that tells you something,’ she said.
Alana, who rose to fame as a young girl and is now in college, recently said she and her mother were in a ‘really good spot.’
‘Right now we’re at a really good spot… We’re probably the best we’ve been in a while,’ Alana said on Tamron Hall Show earlier this month. ‘I mean, Pumpkin takes the kid over there for like just for my mama to watch them. That’s a shocker for me because I never thought Pumpkin would like just leave her kids alone with my mama. So that is a big improvement for sure!’
She also touched on her mother’s sobriety: ‘She’s been sober for like three or four years now and she’s doing great,’ she said.
While the famous family are on better terms now, a trailer for Family Crisis – which debuts on We TV on May 30 – shows the brood are still dealing with the aftermath of Mama spending $30k of her daughter Alana’s money.
The troubled matriarch, who previously admitted she had spent the money but denied any wrongdoing, was filmed being quizzed about the cash by Honey in a tense scene obtained exclusively by People.

She said: ‘Where’s my money’ leading a grinning Shannon to pull out a huge plastic check for $30,000.
Shannon responds: ‘The check is right here’ as a distraught Alana says off-camera: ‘This isn’t a game!’
In April 2024 Mama June admitted she spent $30,000 of daughter Alana’s money on ‘life expenses’ including manicures and household bills – while continuing to shut down criticism for not contributing to her college fund.
Alana was particularly upset by the news regarding her finances, and she stated that she was considering legal action against her mother, who had attempted to talk her way out of the confrontation.

Also affected by the argument was Shannon’s husband, Justin Stroud, who stated that he was ‘really hurt’ by his wife failure to be truthful about her past actions.
Elsewhere in the trailer, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird, 25, is heard declaring: ‘We’re getting a f*****g divorce!’ as her tearful husband Josh looks on.
She also locks horns with sister Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon over their business.
The trailer takes an even more shocking turn when a legal adviser says: ‘The judge really could sentence you to prison’ before Alana declares the family are in for a ‘hot mess summer!’
Alana previously threatened to cut off her mother after she refused to pay the money she allegedly stole from her.

While the famous family are on better terms now, a trailer for Family Crisis shows the brood are dealing with the aftermath of drama over money

In the trailer, Mama June was seen goading her daughter Honey Boo Boo over ‘stealing’ $30,000 of her fortune in an explosive trailer for Family Crisis, which debuts on We TV on May 30.
In a 2024 episode of the family reality show, the teenager and her older sister Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon confronted their mother over the money intended for Alana’s college education.
After the matriarch refused to pay her youngest daughter’s tuition, which she suggested would be a ‘waste’ of money, Pumpkin said Mama June was ‘not supportive’ and ‘lost $500,000 to a bag of f***ing crack’.
Their intervention quickly becomes a bitter showdown when Mama June denied the ‘betrayal’ overall and refused to hand over the money — for which the teenager previously said she will sue and take her mother to court.
This comes after the matriarch told DailyMail.com exclusively that she spent Alana’s Dancing With The Stars: Juniors earnings on manicures and paying her own bills.

The family was rocked by the death of Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell at age 29 from cancer in December 2023.
Chickadee passed away after battling adrenal carcinoma that progressed to stage 4.
June took in Chickadee’s eldest daughter Kaitlyn, 12, and was awarded full custody of her after a months-long court battle.
June is currently married to Justin Stroud, whom she met in rehab in 2021 after battling an addiction to crack cocaine.
Chickadee left behind her husband Eldridge Toney and two daughters – Kylee, nine, by her ex-husband Michael Cardwell, and Kaitlyn by a previous relationship.
Before she died, Chickadee agreed that her mother would take Kaitlyn in – but this year June had to wage a legal battle over the issue against Michael, who wanted custody of both Kaitlyn and his biological daughter Kylee.
June was determined to retain guardianship of Kaitlyn, saying: ‘Anna wanted Kaitlyn to stay with her biological family, and I’m going to fight to my last breath till I don’t have any more fight in me to make sure that is how it works.’
