The family happily signed autographs and posed for photographs with members of the public who stopped them in the street.
Mama
June and Sugar Bear declined to answer whether they were back together
again, following their split earlier this year amid accusations of
infidelity.
Sugar
Bear replied, ‘No comment’, when asked by MailOnline if the couple were
back together. Mama June refused to answer the question.

However skeptics have claimed the outing was more to do with the cancellation of the latest TV series than true love.

The couple are rumored to have earned more than $20,000 for each episode.

added: 'I have to think about my family, my kids, I have a lot of

Despite
Mama June's protests, TLC announced they are cancelling the series over
how she has allowed contact between McDaniel and her children.
The concerns come just months after McDaniel was released from his 10-year prison sentence for aggravated child molestation.
A
sickening police report from 2003 shows how, after revealing the abuse
to her elementary school teacher, Anna told the officer that McDaniel
molested her in June's bedroom while she was at work.

She told authorities that she had done the 'S word' with McDaniel, the report published by RadarOnline revealed.
Anna
also told police that her mother's boyfriend touched her
inappropriately, made her touch him inappropriately and forced her to
perform a sex act on him. When she told him to stop, he would not, the
report claims.
McDaniel
abused Anna multiple times between April and October 2002 but the
youngster took months to speak out because McDaniel had threatened to
kill her if she told, RadarOnline reported.

Speaking
to the National Enquirer in 2012, Anna's ex-boyfriend added: 'Anna told
me that McDaniel threatened that if she ever told her grandparents what
happened to her, he’d kill them and her.
According
to Spalding County Superior Court documents obtained by RadarOnline,
Anna's younger sister Lauryn - then just three - was beside her in the
bed on at least one occasion.

crying and saying, "I don't believe you, I don't believe you, why would
you do this to me?"' she remembered.

I was like, "Mama, he did that to me and I can't do anything about it.
You were never there to see it. You were always at work".'
