Reality star Pumpkin turns OnlyFans into six-figure business after controversial family connection

Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird has found a lucrative second act away from reality television, with the 26-year-old reportedly earning six figures on OnlyFans while producing adult content with her ex-husband’s cousin.

Efird, the older sister of Honey Boo Boo, split from Josh Efird in July 2024. The former couple filed for divorce the following month, and Pumpkin subsequently went public with Josh’s cousin, Darrin Kitchens.

The family connection has made the relationship a tabloid fixture. Now it has become part of Pumpkin’s OnlyFans business.

After launching her account in March, Efird initially built her page around lingerie photographs and other suggestive material. She has since moved into more explicit content, with videos involving her new partner available to subscribers for between $100 and $150, depending on what they request.

Speaking to TMZ, Efird said the decision was largely financial.

“I really started doing hardcore because, truthfully, it’s another revenue of money and so many options to do and give,” she said.

The move appears to have paid off. Just two weeks after joining OnlyFans, Efird told TMZ that she and Kitchens were already approaching six figures in earnings.

“We’re almost in the 6-figure range,” she said at the time.

Efird has also suggested that her OnlyFans operation could expand further, telling TMZ that she has considered producing female-focused content and potentially involving Kitchens in a threesome.

For someone who grew up in front of television cameras, the shift represents a different way of monetising the attention that has followed her since childhood.

Efird first became known to audiences through TLC’s Toddlers & Tiaras and later appeared alongside her mother, June “Mama June” Shannon, and younger sister Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.

Away from OnlyFans, Efird has also been making appearances at strip clubs as she builds her presence outside traditional reality television.

She and Josh began dating in 2015 and married in Las Vegas in 2018. They share four children.

The divorce may have ended one chapter of Pumpkin’s reality-TV story, but the latest figures suggest she has found a considerably more profitable way to keep herself in the spotlight.
