KEY POINTS

  • Mama June went on a hike at Runyon Canyon with her boyfriend, Justin Stroud
  • The pair packed on the PDA as Mama June kept on hugging and kissing Stroud
  • The couple took a break at one point and sat on a bench to enjoy the view

The cat is finally out of the bag. After months of speculation, Mama June Shannon has finally confirmed that she’s found new love after her messy breakup with ex-boyfriend Geno Doak.

The 42-year-old reality star was photographed having the time of her life as she and her new man — identified as 34-year-old tattoo artist Justin Stroud — enjoyed the outdoors under the California sun Friday.

In the photos obtained by Page Six, Mama June and Justin appeared very happy while taking a hike in the woods together in Los Angeles. The We TV actress seemed to struggle to keep her hands to herself as she grabbed her partner’s hand when they walked side by side.

The couple packed on the PDA during their stroll as Mama June embraced Stroud from time to time. One photo even showed the “From Not To Hot” star hugging her boyfriend intimately while planting a kiss on him.

At one point, the pair decided to take a break from their hike and sat down next to each other. They got cozy on a bench as Mama June once again wrapped her hands around her man while enjoying the view.

For their hike in Runyon Canyon, the “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” star wore a purple hoodie, skintight gray sweatpants and colorful sneakers. She pulled her blonde hair back, put on little makeup and wore a face mask for the outing, according to Daily Mail.

On the other hand, Stroud donned a dark top, beige hiking slacks and a pair of black and white Nike trainers. He also came prepared with a camo print hat and dark shades for the sunny outing. Moreover, he carried a gray Michael Jordan backpack.

It’s not clear when exactly Honey Boo Boo’s mom and Justin started dating, but it has been months since the British tabloid The Sun began writing reports about her alleged romance with the tattoo artist.

Stroud appeared to be the Shannon matriarch’s first serious relationship since her breakup from 46-year-old Geno last year. She was previously linked to multiple men, including TikTok star Jordan McCollum, 24, but none of those rumored relationships turned out to be true.
