“My girls 4 life,” captioned Honey Boo Boo before tagging Pumpkin, who is currently her de facto guardian, and her niece, who has her own Instagram account run by her mother Lauryn and father Josh Efird, 24. .
In the photo, the three appear to be on a boat, with Ella wearing a blue life jacket.
Many fans couldn’t help but leave positive messages for Mama June Shannon’s daughters after seeing the heartwarming message.
“You look so happy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Three beautiful girls. Always have your back to each other no matter what, ”one wrote.
“Fabulous image women! Love looks good on you, ”commented another.
“I love seeing those big smiles on you girls. Life is hard and unfair sometimes but you girls are fighters for sure !! I love watching you go through this life, ”added a third user.
Alana’s Instagram update comes about three weeks after her older sister Anna Cardwell, 26, slammed those who criticized the young TV star’s penchant for makeup, false eyelashes and false nails .
In one exclusive interview with The Sun, Mama June’s elusive and estranged daughter said her younger sister was just a normal teenager.
“Alana is a teenage girl who is growing up and basically trying to find herself. She experiences what every teenager goes through, ”said Anna.
“You don’t expect anything different from teenagers. They all want the same thing; they want to grow, ”she added.
In May, Alana also addressed her detractors by uploading a makeup-free selfie. In the blink of an eye, the former “Toddlers & Tiaras” star was seen face down and sticking her tongue out. She then made it clear in her caption that she doesn’t care what people say about her maturing style because “I live my way”.
