‘After almost 3 years we are finally having another blessing and couldn’t be happier. @official_josh_efird’ the 21-year-old added in the caption.

The Mama June: Road to Redemption star also shared a photo of the four home pregnancy tests she used to confirm the initial baby news last November, which came as a surprise.

The couple, who also have a three-year-old daughter Ella, are expecting their second baby in July.

‘We weren’t really expecting. We also weren’t trying either, but we weren’t preventing,’ the 21-ear-old told People before explaining their road to the baby news over the past few years. 

‘Everybody knows Ella’s 3 now, so it’s taken me that long to get pregnant. Because for a while, I was on birth control and then I got off of birth control for a year and a half. And then I found out that I was pregnant,’ she said.

She went on to confess that they were in ‘shock’ when the four tests came up positive because, for months, they had been ‘buying pregnancy tests and they kept coming back up negative.’  

‘And Josh was just kind of like, “Oh, don’t take anymore.” And I was just kind of like, ‘Well …’ This one day I just had a weird feeling and I took one and it came up positive,’ the Georgia native added.

Along with their daughter, the couple have also taken guardianship of Shannon’s younger sister Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson, 15.

She’s been in their care since their mother ‘Mama June’ Shannon was arrested in 2019. Mama June has been battling with a nasty drug addiction, which has been chronicled on Mama June: Road To Redemption.

Just yesterday, in a new episode, the two sisters came face to face with their mom for the first time in over a year.

At the time of the recording of the meeting Mama June reportedly had nine-months sober.
