Mama June is taking over mama duties for one of her late daughter Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell’s kids, TMZ reports.
Anna, who died Saturday after a difficult battle with cancer, had two daughters with 2 different men, and TMZ sources say the younger child, 8-year-old Kylee, is now living with her biological father, Michael.
According to the report by TMZ, the family had a plan in place for Kylee to move in with her dad should something happen to Anna, who was diagnosed, back in January, with stage 4 cancer.
TMZ sources say Kaitlyn and Mama June have a very close bond, she’s June’s first grandchild, so, everyone in the family agrees, moving her to Grandma’s house is the best situation for her. June plans to become Kaitlyn’s legal guardian.
Anna secretly married her partner, Eldridge Toney, back in March after learning she had cancer.
Eldridge has a very close relationship with both Kaitlyn and Kylee, though he’s not their biological father, and he will continue to be involved in both their lives as well.
Sources also say Kaitlyn and Kylee are close as well, and will continue to see each other, TMZ report added.
