HONEY Boo Boo held hands with her new love interest in a preview for the show’s new season, as her brother-in-law Josh Efird threatened to “break his neck.”
The Celeb Report broke the news last year that the Mama June: Road to Redemption star was dating an older man.
Now their relationship has hit cameras as Honey Boo Boo’s family shared their uneasiness over the situation.
In a preview clip for the new season, set to air May 13, the 16-year-old could be seen flirting with her boyfriend Dralin Carswell while holding a football.
The duo later walked while holding hands before sitting down with the family for the reality star’s birthday.
Joshua Efird, Honey Boo Boo’s brother-in-law, then gave Dralin, 20, a speech, saying: “The only thing I ask for is respect and for you to treat her really really good and if you don’t man I’m just going to break your neck.”

Honey, formally known as Alana, then put her face in her palm out of embarrassment.
The preview clip followed The Celeb Report breaking the news in August that the teen TV personality was dating a college student.
By then, the child star had been dating Dralin for six months, and according to sources, her sisters approved of the match.
An insider confirmed that the 20-year-old attended a Nashville technical school before the pandemic hit, but now resides in Georgia near Alana and her sister Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon, 21, who is also her legal guardian.
The insider exclusively told The Celeb Report: “Dralin and Alana are attached at the hip and hang out together all the time.”
Honey Boo Boo’s sisters, including Pumpkin, Jessica, 24, and Anna, 27, also approve of Dralin, too.
The insider continued: “He was quiet at first, but he’s like one of the family now. He’s just as fun and crazy as the rest of them.”
Dralin, a car fanatic, shared his love with the reality star teen.
“He has a Camaro, that’s like his baby, and he lets her drive it sometimes.
“Right now she is saving up for her own car though, she wants a Jeep.”
The pair quietly made their relationship Facebook official in March, when Dralin updated his status to “In a Relationship.”
On the same day, Alana posted a photo of the pair together on her private account.
In the comments on that photo, the Dralin called her his “bae” and dropped in a heart emoji.
