Jessica Shannon and Wife Shyann McCant Split Up
Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon has announced that her marriage to Shyann McCant has ended. In a joint Facebook post shared on June 2, the reality star said the pair “mutually decided” to separate and that the breakup was the best decision for both of them. Jessica, 29, added that she and Shyann remain friends and are still cordial, but they are no longer in a romantic relationship.
The split comes after the couple’s marriage was documented on the reality series Mama June: Family Crisis. Georgia records obtained by E! News show that Jessica and Shyann legally married in February 2025, months before their October wedding ceremony was filmed for the show. Jessica previously appeared on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo with her mother, June “Mama June” Shannon, and half sister Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson.
In her post, Jessica asked for privacy and respect while the two navigate the separation. She said the situation is already difficult and urged followers to avoid mean comments or unnecessary drama. Shyann was included in the same post, signaling that the announcement was made together and on amicable terms.
Jessica’s statement makes clear that there was no public indication of conflict or hostility between the two at the time of the announcement. Instead, the message emphasized mutual agreement, friendship, and a desire to keep the matter calm and private. The wording suggested that both women wanted to address the breakup directly rather than allow rumors to spread online.
Jessica became a familiar face to reality TV viewers through her family’s long-running presence on television, first on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and later on Mama June: Family Crisis. Her relationship with Shyann had attracted attention from fans after their televised wedding, making the breakup news notable for followers of the Shannon family.
The couple had only recently celebrated their legal and ceremonial marriage, which makes the split especially unexpected for viewers who watched their wedding story unfold on camera. Even so, Jessica’s post framed the decision as a thoughtful and shared choice rather than a sudden public fallout.
For now, Jessica and Shyann appear to be focusing on moving forward separately while maintaining a civil relationship. Their announcement joins a growing list of personal updates shared openly by reality stars on social media, where major life changes are often addressed directly to fans.
The breakup marks a new chapter for Jessica Shannon, who has spent much of her public life in the spotlight as part of the Shannon family’s reality TV story. Despite the end of the marriage, her message suggested an effort to preserve mutual respect and avoid further attention around the split.
