Prior to her death, Anna expressed her wishes that her husband Eldridge Toney, who began dating Anna in 2017 after her divorce from Michael, gain custody of both of her daughters after they tied the knot in March 2023.
However, Mama June said in an episode of her show, Mama June: Family Crisis, earlier this summer, “Kaitlyn will be better off with me, because there is stability. But Eldridge has been in Kaitlyn’s life since she was around 5 years old. Honestly, she needs to put this s— on paper.”
Back in June, Mama June opened up about caring for Kaitlyn after being awarded temporary custody of the minor.
“We took on the responsibility of an 11-year-old—making sure that she gets to school and making sure that we make life as normal as we can for her,” Mama June told E! News in an exclusive interview at the time. “Also just getting into a routine ourselves and trying to keep the consistency with Kaitlyn because that’s what she needs—structure and consistency.”
