Mama June Star Alana Thompson’s Life in Colorado
Alana Thompson relocated to Denver, Colorado, in 2023 to pursue higher education at Regis University. Thompson enrolled in the nursing program with aspirations to become a pediatric nurse upon graduation, which is expected in 2029. Her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, 25, made the move from Georgia alongside her. This actually was a shift for Thompson, who spent her childhood in the spotlight on various reality shows featuring her family.
The couple initially secured a rental property for their first year in Denver. However, Thompson revealed in August 2024 that she and Carswell encountered difficulties finding suitable housing. Thompson addressed speculation from followers by clarifying that Carswell’s student loan debt was the primary obstacle, not his criminal record as some had suggested. The housing search proved more challenging than Thompson expected, requiring patience and persistence from both parties.
Mama June: Honey Boo Boo & Dralin Carswell Become Homeowners In Denver
Thompson announced on Thursday that she and Carswell have purchased a home together in Denver, Colorado. The Mama June star shared the news on Facebook, expressing overwhelming emotion about the achievement. Thompson acknowledged that the milestone may not seem significant to everyone but emphasized its personal importance to the couple.
Thompson posted that the homebuying process involved patience and moments of uncertainty about whether the purchase would materialize. She celebrated the accomplishment by looking toward the future. Thompson later specified on Instagram that the property is in Denver and mentioned plans to renovate both bathrooms.
This marks Thompson and Carswell’s first home purchase, though the couple has cohabited for years. Mama June Shannon and her husband, Justin Stroud, revealed on TikTok in May that Thompson began living with Carswell when she was 15 years old, contradicting years of denials from the family. Whether Thompson and Carswell will remain in Colorado after her 2029 graduation remains unclear.
Thompson’s sister Lauryn Shannon, known as Pumpkin, also purchased a home in 2024. Shannon revealed in August that earnings from her OnlyFans account enabled her to buy a Georgia property outright for her family with boyfriend Darrin Kitchens. What do you think?
