She found fame when she was just five years old on the reality show Toddlers & Tiaras. During an interview on the show, Alana said: "A dollar made me holler, honey boo boo!" and was known from then on out by her nickname.

While Alana found fame as a child pageant star, her life wasn't always easy. In 2019, June was struggling with an addiction to crack cocaine. That March, she and her then-boyfriend, Eugene Doak, were arrested and charged with felony possession of drugs.

"People were like, 'I saw your mama on the news with a busted tooth, strung out,'" Alana recalled to People in May 2025. "I'm like, 'Great, like I didn't see that too.'" When Alana was 16, her sister Lauryn gained full custody of her and she went on to graduate from high school.

After graduating from high school, Alana studied nursing at Regis University in Colorado and is expected to graduate in 2027. She plans to become a pediatric intensive care unit nurse and is currently working as a Patient Care Technician in pediatrics at a local hospital in Colorado.

Good for her. It’s pleasantly surprising she didn’t turn out like Jojo Siwa or the catch me outside girl.

Yep. I'm going to go out on a limb and say she's big.

Those people and those shows are great examples of what is wrong with our society.

Agreed. That sort of lifelong media spotlight on she and her family has broken other people completely (especially if you're a female and heavy). Instead, she's been able to fight through it to be the first in her family to get a college degree (once she graduates next year) and is in a very lucrative field.

She actually has seemed to turn herself around too. Found a guy and seems to be settling down and planning to start a family.

She had no say so in the matter of her fame. Her youth was stolen by her mother.

I was expecting pics showing that Honey Boo got on Ozempic and she was rocking a hard body in a swim suit...

i think she just finally met a chad instead of the fairy boys from her dance troupe and Youtube channel and said "oh i'm not gay. i just haven't been around real men."

That really wasn’t necessary was it?

Her sister has an onlyfans and somehow makes 15k a month. Trust me, do not search for those pics. I am scarred for life.

She’s ready to snatch up a 140 pound redneck.
