Amid past rumors linking Pickle to Troy’s son, Chase Landry, both stars have since moved on — with Pickle now thriving as a mother of two alongside partner Joshua Kipus.

In a stunning revelation that has sent shockwaves through the “Swamp People” fanbase, Troy Landry, the beloved king of the swamp, has finally broken his silence about his relationship with Pickle Wheat.

Known for their dynamic partnership on the hit reality show, the duo has sparked intense speculation among fans regarding the nature of their bond. Recently, Troy’s heartfelt comments during a wedding ceremony officiated by him have fueled these rumors even further.

As the camera panned over the lush Louisiana landscape, Troy stood proudly, officiating the wedding of Cheyenne Pickle Wheat.

“Pickle Wheat is like the daughter I never had, and I love her to death no matter what,” he declared, a statement that left many viewers questioning the depth of their connection. Was there more to their relationship than just a strong friendship forged in the swamp?

For years, Troy and Pickle have shared a unique camaraderie, hunting alligators and navigating the treacherous waters of the bayou together.

Their chemistry on-screen has always captivated audiences, showcasing a partnership built on trust and mutual respect. But as Troy’s words echoed in the minds of fans, it became clear that the speculation surrounding their relationship was only just beginning.

“Look, we’ve been through a lot together out there,” Troy said, reflecting on their time spent in the swamp.

“I’ve seen her grow from a newcomer to one of the best hunters I know. She’s family to me.” His statements seemed to clarify that while their bond is indeed profound, it remains strictly platonic.

The buzz around Troy and Pickle intensified after the wedding ceremony, especially since Pickle had previously been in a relationship with Troy’s son, Chase Landry.

The couple’s romance, which blossomed in the swamps, had captured the attention of fans, who were thrilled to see their favorite cast members together.

However, as the seasons changed, so did their relationship. By early 2022, fans noticed a shift; social media posts featuring the couple began to disappear, leading to rampant speculation about their breakup.

“Things just didn’t work out between us,” Pickle stated in a recent interview, choosing to keep the details private. “We both had our own paths to follow.” The reasons behind their split remain unclear, but both have continued to focus on their respective careers and families.

Meanwhile, Troy remains a steadfast figure in the alligator hunting world. He manages his family’s alligator hunting business in Pierre Park, Louisiana, where he organizes hunting trips and supplies alligator meat and hides to buyers.

When he’s not out in the swamp, he operates Duffy’s Shell Station, a local staple named after his father. “It’s a family business, and I’m proud to keep it going,” Troy shared, his dedication evident in his voice.

As for Pickle, she has embraced motherhood and continues to thrive in her career. After introducing her partner Joshua Kipus to fans in late 2022, she confirmed their pregnancy in November of the same year.

The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Mammy, in April 2023. “Being a mom is the most important job I’ve ever had,” Pickle beamed. “I’m lucky to have a partner who supports me in everything I do.”

The family grew again in April 2025 when they welcomed a baby boy named Casey. With Joshua also having a son from a previous relationship, their family now consists of five members.

“It’s a busy life, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” Pickle remarked, sharing glimpses of her parenting journey on social media.

Despite the personal changes, both Troy and Pickle have maintained their professional commitments.

Troy continues to be a fan favorite on “Swamp People,” while Pickle has launched her own merchandise line, selling branded apparel and hunting gear to her growing fanbase. “I love connecting with my fans and sharing a piece of my life with them,” she said.

As the rumors surrounding Troy and Pickle’s relationship simmer down, it’s clear that their bond is rooted in mutual respect and admiration, rather than romantic involvement. “We’re just two people who love what we do and have each other’s backs,” Troy concluded.

In a world filled with speculation and gossip, the truth remains that Troy and Pickle are not just partners in the swamp but also lifelong friends who have weathered the storms of fame together.

As fans eagerly await the next season of “Swamp People,” one thing is certain:

the dynamic duo of Troy Landry and Pickle Wheat will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the alligator hunting world, proving that sometimes, the strongest bonds are those built on friendship and respect.
