Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell, the late daughter of Mama June Shannon, secretly got married after her stage four cancer diagnosis.
The Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star tragically passed away aged just 29, after losing her ten month battle with adrenal cancer.
According to TMZ, shortly after receiving her cancer diagnosis, Anna married her partner Eldridge Toney on March 4 in Wilkinson County, Georgia, while undergoing chemotherapy.
She is said to have wanted to get married whilst she still felt well enough to do so.
It's reported Anna's sister Pumpkin's husband acted as the officiant during the nuptials, which were filmed for their mother's reality show, Mama June: From Not to Hot.
OK! has contacted Mama June's reps for comment.
Anna was mother to daughters Kaitlyn, 11, and Kylee, eight, from a previous relationship, and she had been trying to start a family with Tony, but suffered four miscarriages.
In 2021 she told the US Sun: "We are trying to have a third child, and it’s been difficult. I’ve gone through four miscarriages and a D&C.
"It's been a long bumpy road for us trying to have baby number three."
Mama June announced her daughter's death on 10 December with a statement on Instagram, which read: "With the breaking heart, we are announcing that @annamarie35 is no longer with us.
"She passed away in my home last night peacefully at 11:12 PM. She gave one hell of a fight for 10 months she passed away with her family around her like she won’t and we will be updating y’all with more information as we get it today.
"We love y’all and continued prayers and thoughts for our family doing this difficult time #mamajune #prayers #cancersucks #family."
Anna appeared alongside her mother and younger sister Alana Thompson, better known as Honey Boo Boo, on TLC's Toddlers & Tiaras and later on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
Anna was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of cancer back in January when adrenocortical carcinoma was discovered in her liver, kidney and lungs.
And in July, Mama June heartbreakingly announced that the cancer was terminal.
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, June shared: "We know it's terminal. She's stage 4. She's not gonna go into remission. We've all accepted that, so I just tell people one day at a time cause you never know."
Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson mourned the loss of her big sister on social media.
“This is one post I wish I didn’t have to make," the 18-year-old wrote. "Last night we all surrounded Anna with love & let her know it was okay to go. Unfortunately around 11pm Anna took her last breathe."
