Honey Boo Boo has responded to the engagement rumour about her and her boyfriend

The reality TV star, whose real name is Alana, was reportedly spotted wearing a diamond ring, and it’s left fans convinced that she’s going to tie the knot to her partner, 20-year-old Dralin Carswell.

However, the 16-year-old’s rep apparently denied this when chatting to E! News.

They reportedly said ‘it’s just a ring’.

Previously, the star’s mum, Mama June, told the publication that she’s determined to keep the relationship as private as possible due to the ‘negativity’.

The 42-year-old reportedly said: “She wears long lashes. She has long nails and now she’s in an interracial relationship.

“She does get a lot of hate on that. She just chooses to avoid the negativity, not to put everything out just like me.”

She added: “People just don’t know us.

“To stop all the bulls***, we choose not to post everything out there like a lot of people.”

Mama June also addressed her daughter’s relationship in a chat with TooFab, saying: “She is getting a lot of hate because she’s in an interracial relationship, he is older.

“But at the end of the day, Alana’s not that 6-7-year-old child y’all fell in love with 11 years ago. Alana has grown up, she’s graduating high school next year, guys!”

Honey Boo Boo has opened up about her struggles, having spoke to Teen Vogue last August.

At the time, she reportedly said: “To be honest, I do not have many friends.

“Because I feel like folks are so much like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m friends with Honey Boo Boo’. I don’t trust nobody really, so I don’t have friends.”
