Alanna Thompson is only 18 years old.
The former child beauty pageant star just started nursing school and isn’t even legally able to vote in this country.
and yet…
…The topic of motherhood has already come up for Thompson.
Speaking to the Daily Mail this week, Alana at least touched on this possibility. Some? The day after giving birth, she told the outlet that her boyfriend, Drallin Carswell, was ready to become a parent.
Like, it feels like that right now.
“He wants kids and I don’t,” Thompson told the paper, stressing that she definitely doesn’t want kids while she’s in school.
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.
The teen also said she wants “one and done, that’s it” when it comes to the kids, too, and that might actually be an attitude she’ll change. Becoming A mother.
In 2023, Thompson and her boyfriend were involved in a car chase in Monroe County, Georgia, which led to Carswell’s DUI arrest, causing considerable concern among fans online.
“He’s a good man, he takes care of me and makes sure I stay straight,” Thompson says now. “I love him, I’m happy with him, so that’s what matters most.”
Alana, who says she wears a “promise ring” from Carswell, is also in a state of mourning. She lost her sister to cancer in December.
“Anna was in a lot of pain last night but now as a family we all know she is calm. I really don’t know what to say as my heart is completely broken,” Alana said at the time.
“It hasn’t been easy watching my 29-year-old sister battle this horrible disease over the past year.”
At the end of her heartbreaking post late last year, Alana wrote:
“We will all make sure your legacy lives on forever. And I promise we will always celebrate your birthday like you never left!
“The sky looks a little different today. We will always love you Anna.”
“You hit me really hard with that Anna, but I know you’re in a better place now and free from pain forever.”
