For Elizabeth Johnston, family life is about to grow a little louder — and a little sweeter.
The reality TV personality, known to viewers of 7 Little Johnstons, has announced she’s expecting her second child with her husband, Brice Bolden.
Their new baby is due in early fall 2026, joining their daughter Leighton Drew Bolden, who is now 2. The couple say they’re thrilled that Leighton will soon be stepping into a brand-new role: big sister.
A Family That Grew Quickly
Johnston and Bolden first became parents in November 2023 when Leighton was born.
At the time, the couple shared their excitement with fans, introducing their newborn daughter as “pure sweetness” and posting photos from the hospital, including moments from the delivery room.
Parenthood quickly became the center of their lives — something viewers of the show have watched unfold in real time.
A Love Story Close to Home
Long before babies and wedding plans, Johnston and Bolden were neighbors.
The pair began dating in 2019 after realizing they lived just a few houses apart in their neighborhood. What started as a nearby connection slowly grew into a long-term relationship.
In November 2025, they married in a small ceremony at the Johnston family home in Forsyth, Georgia.
About 80 close friends and relatives attended, including Johnston’s parents, Trent Johnston and Amber Johnston.
The wedding carried special meaning for the couple. The location was the same place where much of their relationship unfolded during their early years together.
Leighton, still a toddler at the time, had a special part in the ceremony — walking as the flower girl while her parents exchanged vows.
Hoping for One More
Johnston had previously spoken about the possibility of expanding their family.
She shared that she hoped to give Leighton a sibling someday, though she imagined waiting until her daughter was a little older.
Life, it seems, had its own timeline.
Now, the couple are preparing for the arrival of another baby and the adjustments that come with raising two young children.
For fans of 7 Little Johnstons, Johnston’s life milestones — from dating to motherhood — have played out partly on screen.
The series follows the Johnston family, many of whom have dwarfism, offering viewers a glimpse into everyday family life and the challenges and joys that come with it.
Each new chapter — relationships, weddings, babies — becomes part of a larger family story that viewers have followed for years.
A New Chapter Ahead
For Johnston and Bolden, the coming months will likely be filled with the familiar mix of anticipation, preparation, and sleepless nights that come with welcoming a new baby.
But there’s also something uniquely special about watching a family grow — especially when a toddler is about to discover what it means to be a big sister.
Sometimes, the biggest milestones start quietly at home.
