On Aug. 1, the Mama June: Family Crisis star filed for divorce from her husband of six years, Josh Efird. In a settlement agreement obtained by PEOPLE, Lauryn indicated that the pair have been in a “bona fide state of separation” since July.
A representative for the Efrids declined to provide further comment when asked by PEOPLE.
Lauryn, 24, and Josh, 28, share four children – Ella, 6, Bentley, 3, and 2-year-old twins Sylus and Stella – and have agreed to share joint legal and physical custody. According to the settlement agreement, they have a “parenting plan” they previously agreed upon. They also both waived the right to request child support.
Josh has been given 60 days to remove his belongings from the family’s shared home in Georgia, as Lauryn will be taking over the property herself, per the documents. Lauryn has often praised her husband’s skills as a father on social media. And while she has posted less and less this year, in a June 2022 post, she called Josh the “BEST father I’ve known.”
“All my life I prayed god would send me someone I could have a family with and love forever and he sent me you. Thank you for being the best father to all of our babies including Alana,” she wrote in the caption, referring to her younger sister, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson. “You’ve never failed to show up and show the kids what a man real man is. I’ll forever be thankful for you. Me and the kids love you so very much. ❤️❤️❤️.”
