She also poured her heart out in the caption that she dedicated to the person she considers the “best daddy.”

“What’s better than 24? 25!!!!!!!! Happy birthday to the absolute love of my life and partner in crime. I’ve had the pleasure of watching you grow into this wonderful young man over the last 6 years,” the “Mama June: From Not To Hot” star wrote.

“You are the best daddy to our little ones and a good father figure for Alana. I hope today is all you hope for and more (even though you are working lol). I love you to the moon and back,” she added.

Just moments after Pumpkin posted her tribute for Josh, the latter responded with a heartwarming response in the comments section that read, “I love you so much baby girl.”

Many fans also flooded the post with birthday greetings and positive messages for the couple. Some also expressed their happiness knowing that Josh has a good relationship with his wife’s younger sister Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, 15.

“Happy Birthday Josh….. being a great father and devoted husband is the best measure of a man,” one fan wrote.

“You're a smart girl, Pumpkin. You picked a good one. Happy Birthday, Josh!...and many more,” another added.

“Happy birthday Josh you are such a wonderful husband and dad and I love the relationship [between] you and Alana,” a third user commented.

Pumpkin and Josh, who celebrated their third wedding anniversary in June, are already parents to a 3-year-old girl, named Ella Grace. The two are also currently expecting their second child, a baby boy that they have decided to name Bentley Jameson.

On Sunday, Honey Boo Boo’s de-facto guardian updated her fans on social media about her pregnancy by posting a mirror selfie and revealing in her caption that she’s already in her 39th week and she’s “waiting patiently” for the arrival of her second child.
