The Here Come Honey Boo Boo star, whose real names is June Shannon, has separated from Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson.

“Sugar Bear and I have decided to take some time apart to figure out some things in our relationship,” she told ABC News 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.”

Shannon and Thompson have one daughter together, Alana, whom has been nicknamed Honey Boo Boo. Thompson has been involved with Shannon’s older daughters, Lauryn (“Pumpkin”), Jessica (“Chubbs”) and Anna (“Chickadee”) too. Last summer, they held a commitment ceremony during which they exchanged vows.

“I’m so glad that they’re finally doing it,” one of Shannon’s friends said at the time. “June just is scared of the whole thing. But I guess he finally convinced her.”
