On August 25, 2021, Thompson mentioned her lover in her Teen Vogue feature. He joined her in the interview's set, but she wouldn't say who he was.
Since she is one of the famous reality TV stars, it is not a surprise that many people want to be friends with her for clout. Regardless, Thompson had only good things to say about her beau.
She referenced him as one of her only friends. She mentioned she doesn't have any friends because of her trust issues. Since the interview, people have been curious to find out who Thompson's boyfriend is.
On August 31, 2021, The Sun reported she has apparently been dating a 20-year-old college student for the past six months. Carswell, who attended a technical school in Nashville before the COVID-19 pandemic, has moved to Georgia to be closer to his partner.
The two have been very close to each other over the past few months. Surprisingly, Thompson's sisters, Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Shannon, Jessica, and Anna, approve of their sister's relationship.
He has been dubbed as "one of the family," so it is safe to assume that nobody in the Thompson Clan has anything to say about the couple's four-year age gap.
Thompson and Carswell confirmed their relationship via Facebook. Carswell updated his Facebook status to "in a relationship" in March 2021.
Soon after, Thompson altered her relationship status and made a selfie with Carswell her cover photo on her private Facebook account. In the comments of their photo, Carswell wrote "bae" with a heart emoji.
