GORDON, GEORGIA: 'Mama June: Family Crisis' Season 7 star Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson's boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, is a reality star and had been in the middle of creating a professional career. He often does a side hustle to earn money. Despite the struggle, Dralin knows the ways to keep his girlfriend happy.

In the latest episode of the WETv show, Dralin teamed up with Joshua "Josh" Efird to surprise Honey Boo Boo with a stunning gift. Following the graduation ceremony, the reality star made her way back to her sister Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird's house, where Mama June's family eagerly awaited to shout "surprise."

Josh and Dralin adorned the backyard with balloons as the family commemorated the special occasion. Dralin and Josh surprised Honey Boo Boo with a brand new pink Honda.

June chimed in, saying, "Look at that! We got you a pink car and everything." Overwhelmed by the gift, Honey Boo Boo exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, I can't wait to hop in it!"

However, Josh revealed that he and Dralin had to put in extra work to be able to afford her gift. Josh shared that he and Honey Boo Boo's boyfriend had to paint a house for "two weeks" to give her the car. The reality star's new car was originally a brown-red color but the duo turned it into pink.

Josh shared, "And then we had to paint it cause, like, it was ugly." Honey Boo Boo's car had a pink toy attached to the air vent, seat covers, and a fluffy wheel cover as well. She also received eyelashes for her car as a graduation gift.

Just like, shut up for a minute and when I wanna decide what I wanna do is when I'll tell ya'll. When I'm ready."
