Alana ‘Honey Boo Boo’ Thompson and her boyfriend Dralin Carswell were seen returning to Atlanta, Georgia after enjoying a trip to Denver, Colorado, following her announcement that she will be attending Regis University this fall.
Two months after revealing that she will be attending college to become a neonatal nurse, the reality star, 18, smiled as she made her way out of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport with her 22-year-old beau.
Following her flight, the Toddlers & Tiaras alum, who sported a yellow Barbie t-shirt, black sweatpants and a pair of Nike sneakers, grabbed her luggage and waited with Carswell for a ride home.
Despite previously shutting down romance rumors between the couple, the TV personality continued to wear a diamond ring on her left finger, which her rep told Page Six was ‘just a ring’ last year.
The high school senior’s partner, who attends college in Georgia, wore a blue and white tie-dye hoodie with a skull on fire in the center, black pants and a beanie.

The pair have been inseparable since they first began dating back in 2021, and she has stuck by his side since he was arrested in March and taken into police custody for a suspected DUI, which is driving under the influence, as well as running from law enforcement and having outstand warrants.
Thompson was in the car with him when he was chased by the police, it was claimed by TMZ.
The daughter of Mama June Shannon was not arrested and was later picked up at the police station by her older sister Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird, who serves as her guardian.
This was not the first time he has been arrested.
Carswell was reportedly arrested and accused of statutory rape in 2019, before beginning his relationship with Alana.
Dralin was arrested on May 29, 2019 and originally charged with statutory rape, according to police and court documents obtained by The Sun.
The alleged victim was not Alana, and the incident appears to have occurred before they began their relationship, the publication noted.

The officer wrote in the report that they interviewed the minor.
‘I asked the daughter if it was consensual, and she stated “Yes.”‘
The minor also informed the officer that ‘her plan with Carswell was for him to come to the house and while there they had consensual unprotected sex in her bedroom,’ The Sun reported.
Police were then allegedly told by Dralin that the minor ‘was his girlfriend and they had talked about him coming to her house… but he did not actually go to the house,’ according to the site.
Dralin claimed to police that he had been at his friend’s house all day and night.
