"Mama" June Shannon and Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson from TLC's reality show "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" have split up. She believes he was cheating on her. She has reportedly taken her children and left the house she shared with him.
"Sugar Bear and I have decided to take some time apart to figure out some things in our relationship," she says. "We are taking things day by day but regardless of what happens the girls will always be our #1 priority. We want to thank ya'll for your support."
The couple has been together since 2004 and welcomed their daughter Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson in 2005. He has also become a father figure to her three other daughters Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon, Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon, and Anna "Chickadee" Shannon.
They were never officially married, but did swap vows in a commitment ceremony last year. Mama June ended her relationship with Sugar Bear after finding out he's using online dating sites where he listed himself as someone who loves "to hunt fish and ride 4wheelers and have a good time."
"Never settle for a man who doesn't treat you right," she told PEOPLE at the time of her recommitment ceremony. "If a guy doesn't love everything about you, move on! There are plenty of other fish in the sea."
It's unclear how the separation will affect their reality show which began in 2012 after the family appeared on another TLC series, "Toddlers & Tiaras".
