June "Mama June" Shannon revealed in 2021 that she was dating someone new. Fast-forward to March 2023, and the reality star became a married woman.
The Mama June: Family Crisis star has been known to bring new men home throughout the course of her shows, but it seems this one is here to say. So, who is Mama June's husband? Let's take a closer look at her spouse and their relationship timeline.
Who is Mama June's husband?
Mama June and her husband — auto mechanic Justin Stroud — legally married in March 2022 at a Georgia courthouse. The reality star took to Instagram in June of that year to confirm their marriage.
"I know you guys been seeing it all over the Internet so we are here to clear up some of the rumors," she wrote. "YES me and @officialsmallz1 really got married back on March 23 on our six-month anniversary and yes it was so spur of the moment."
Fast-forward to February 2023 and Mama June and Justin held a second ceremony, with all of June's daughters — Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird, Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon, and Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell — attending as well. This wedding was held at SpringHill Suites in Panama City, Fla.
"This was the first time the family had all been together since 2014," Shannon said in a WE tv news release, per People. "So it was really special to get married in a place where my family and I have had so many memories!"
Mama June met her now-husband via TikTok.
During a May 2022 interview with Distractify, Mama June explained that she met Justin on TikTok, of all places. It sounds strange, but since Mama June's life has been on display for over a decade, it makes sense for her to find a love interest on social media.
"I actually met him on TikTok on somebody's live [video]," she revealed. "But, you know, it's been a whirlwind. The last year my whole entire life has been a whirlwind .... But, you know, he's been amazing … he's trying to put the pieces of me back together. I'm actually finding out who June Shannon is for the first time in, like, 42 years."
In addition to Mama June's social media updates, Justin posts fairly regularly on his Instagram account, too, if you want to keep up with their life together.
