Mama June Shannon's daughter Jessica Shannon has reportedly ended her marriage to wife Shyann McCant just weeks after their wedding aired on national TV.

The now-estranged couple have been together since 2022 and engaged for two of the four years they were dating.

According to TMZ, Jessica and Shyann made the decision to separate in 'the last few days' after realizing the relationship had 'run its course.'

The pair have yet to file for divorce, however, sources shared Tuesday that Jessica and Shyann intend to begin the legal separation process 'soon.'

It was also alleged that the split was 'mutual' and that it was not caused by any particular incident.

Jessica has already reportedly moved out of their marital home and back into Mama June's Georgia home amid the shock separation.

The exes famously tied the knot in February 2025 before later having a wedding that following October.

The wedding was televised in mid-May 2026 during the season eight finale of Mama June: Family Crisis.

Jessica, the second eldest daughter of Mama June, and Shyann had posted photos of them together at their wedding just over a week ago. 

Their split also comes amid family drama that played out in the latest season of the reality TV series.

The then-couple had asked Josh Efird, the ex-husband of Jessica's sister Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Efird, to be their sperm donor.

On the show, Pumpkin claimed that in the newlyweds' attempt to have a baby together, Jessica and Shyann had allegedly slept with her ex-husband Josh.

The eventful season eight drama sparked not only tension within the family but also fan discourse online. 

Pumpkin previously began dating Josh when they were both teenagers and later were married from 2018 to 2024. The exes share four children.

In past years, there was also controversy after the matriarch Mama June sparked outrage when she admitted she stole over $30,000 from her daughter Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson.

In June 2025, Mama June told the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview that she was not phased by fans calling for her to be axed from reality television following the scandal. 

'I used to fight like everybody when I first started this adventure years ago, because I wanted to go after everybody that was talking bad,' she said.

'Now I'm just like, "OK, it makes my views go up, argue in the comments if you want to,"' she said about being trolled online.

'I just say, "Watch the show. Thank you for commenting. Thank you for putting us on the algorithm. Thank y'all for your concerns,' she added. 'I just answer it and go about my business.'
