The reality star and Carswell made their relationship Instagram official in 2021 and have faced a lot of criticism since then. Dralin was over 20 years old when he began dating 16-year-old Alana.
Carswell also has a long history with legal troubles.
But the pair remain together and appear very happy, with Thompson saying in the interview that it would be “time” to talk about kids once she finishes college.

All of the family members are extremely proud of her, but her sister Pumpkin is hopeful that Alana will not only go to college, but to a school out of state.
When Alana opens a gift that has a college T-shirt inside, she is annoyed.
“Here we come again with the Colorado stuff,” she says in this exclusive sneak peek HollywoodLife“Everyone is stressing about where I want to go, and at the end of the day, it’s my decision.”
The family has a huge fight onscreen. Alana’s mother, June, thinks she’ll be fine if she stays where she is, but her sister thinks differently.
In fact, Pumpkin’s biggest worry is that if Alana doesn’t go to college, history will repeat itself.
“I truly want the best for Alana,” Pumpkin said in a confessional.
“Her getting up here, in a new state, in a new way, finding a new life, would be much better than staying here and being a teenage mom — the lies that I did, that Mom did, that Anna did.”
Crying, she says, “It’s just a family matter. Like, I don’t know. Just get out of here.”
Now, since the show was filmed a while ago, fans know that she went to school and received a $21,000 scholarship to study nursing.

Alana has addressed pregnancy rumors before
Last year, Alana Thompson went all out for prom.
He had a special dress, an attractive appearance and a horse carriage.
However, Alana’s look has been subjected to some cruel scrutiny – with some accusing the high school student of pregnant,
Alanna retaliated against him and others, in some cases more validcriticisms. She has clearly Sufficient,
In real life, there’s a very simple social rule: In almost all circumstances, you don’t ask whether someone is pregnant, unless you’re a medical professional. Also, you don’t ask if someone is pregnant. Congrats Until the baby’s head appears, everyone is left guessing.
Suffice it to say that this part of the social contract goes double Literal Real Teenager. For example, a 17-year-old high school student going to prom.
Yes, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson is famous. That doesn’t mean she likes people body-shaming her. And honestly, this pregnancy speculation is worse than the usual body-shaming.
Alana saw the cruel things people wrote, including asking if they could see a “baby bump” under her prom dress.
Alana on pregnancy rumors: “I want to go to college”
So, she took to TikTok Live – not just to debunk these rumours, but also to slam the trolls who wrote them.
“No, I’m not pregnant!” Alana confirmed.
“I haven’t even finished high school yet, okay?” Alana then reminded these creepy weirdos.
“I want to graduate,” she stressed.
“I want to go to college before I even think about having kids,” Alana assured. “So no, I’m not pregnant…”
It was such a relief to hear that Alana won’t be following in the footsteps of her mother, or her sister, or her other sister…yes, several of her family members.
(We can also acknowledge that in some of these cases, it was not entirely their choice to become a teenage mother. The families lived in unimaginable poverty for many years.)
But it is not like someone just claimed that Alana is pregnant and someone defamed her by saying that she is pregnant. unusually stale The tabloids passed this off as news. Instead, commenters made it up on the spot. All because they saw Alana in her beautiful prom dress.
Do you think we (and Alana) are spreading hate? Think again.
Body-shaming comments from ‘fans’
“Yeah that’s not a flattering dress… I thought she was pregnant for a minute! There are so many other dresses that would be more flattering, you should just dress for your size,” one nasty comment read.
Another disgusted Instagram reply said, “I thought this was a gender reveal.” Horrible, nasty stuff — and he posted it where Alana could see it.
Alanna shared her complaints and rejected these body shaming allegations on TikTok.
Alana seems to be doing that celebrity thing where she can’t differentiate between hateful trolls and people raising a valid issue, so she claps back and then ignores them.
This is actually quite understandable. Not only given her background (though that matters too), but also because she’s still a teenager.
