June "Mama June" Shannon went on another PDA-packed outing with her new boyfriend, Justin Stroud.

The couple was photographed sharing a sweet kiss while riding a carousel in Los Angeles Tuesday, Page Six reported.

In the photos obtained by the outlet, the "From Not to Hot" star, 42, and Stroud, 34, smiled and gazed into each other's eyes in between kisses during the carousel ride.

Shannon was dressed casually for the outing in a black and white gingham shirt and black pants. Her beau opted for a royal blue shirt and red baseball hat. Stroud also carried a backpack.

When the couple wasn't busy on the classic ride, the TLC star and Stroud were seen holding hands and enjoying ice cream. They even fed each other.

Shannon and her tattoo artist boyfriend have been inseparable in the past few weeks. Before their most recent date, they were photographed going for a hike in the woods outside Los Angeles on Jan. 21. The pair also packed on the PDA during that outing.

After getting some exercise, Shannon and Stroud took a break and sat down on a bench following the long walk. She was seen embracing her boyfriend.

Stroud is Shannon's first boyfriend since her highly publicized breakup with longtime boyfriend Geno Doak. They split after Doak, 46, was sentenced in August 2021 to 16 months in Macon Community Corrections in Alabama. He was busted on drug charges with Shannon.

Shannon battled drug addiction and hadn't seen her four daughters, Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird, Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon, Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell, and Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, for six years. She reunited with them at Pumpkin's baby shower in Gordon, Georgia, in June last year.

"I haven't seen all the girls together at once because the relationship with Anna [Cardwell] has always been difficult because of my mother," the matriarch said at the time. "I wanted to be in the right frame of mind to be able to deal with Anna as it's always been a touchy subject."

Shannon admitted that there was some slight awkwardness during the reunion after being estranged from her daughters for years. However, she said it was "great" to see her eldest daughter and first granddaughter, Kaitlyn, again.

Prior to reuniting with her daughters, the "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" star had already expressed her desire to win back her children and have them in her life once more.

"I know I was selfish when I went to rehab and to be honest with you, I'm still a little bit selfish in my recovery," Shannon told Pumpkin and Honey Boo Boo when they reunited in an episode of "Mama June: Road to Redemption." "But I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get you all back in my life and that's the reason why I'm here today."
