Elizabeth Johnston & Brice Bolden’s Baby Boy Is Here — Inside Their Beautiful Journey to a Family of Four

If you thought your heart couldn’t possibly get any fuller watching the Johnstons grow up on TLC, wait until you see the family’s newest little one. Elizabeth “Liz” Johnston and her husband Brice Bolden have officially gone from a sweet little trio to a family of four — and the whole Johnston clan is over the moon.
Welcome to the World, Coleman Brice!
On September 8, 2026, Liz and Brice welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Coleman Brice Johnston Bolden, sharing the news exclusively with TODAY.com.
“We’re so happy to have Coleman here and to be home together as a family of four,” the couple said. “We are so looking forward to watching Leighton and Coleman grow up together.”
The name carries beautiful family meaning: according to TLC, Coleman Brice was named after a paternal great-grandfather — and after his dad Brice, of course. On Instagram, the proud parents wrote: “Coleman Brice Bolden Jr. 09/08/2026. Our family is complete, with this happy handsome bundle of joy.”
The couple had announced they were expecting back in March 2026, telling PEOPLE they were thrilled that Leighton would be becoming a big sister in early fall. According to reports, it has not been revealed publicly whether baby Coleman was born with dwarfism — Leighton, their first child, is of average height, and each pregnancy carries a 50% chance either way.

Leighton, the Perfect Big Sister
Big sister Leighton Drew Bolden is no stranger to stealing the spotlight. Born November 3, 2023, weighing 5 pounds 10 ounces and measuring 19 inches, she melted hearts from day one — and she served as the flower girl at her own parents’ wedding, toddling down the aisle in a white dress while Mom and Dad said their vows.
Now set to turn 3 this fall, Leighton is officially a big sister, and the family’s reaction to baby Coleman’s arrival has been pure joy. Aunt Emma Johnston summed it up in the comments: “Can’t stop lovin him.” With a two-year-old big sister who is reportedly already curious about her baby brother, this household is about to get a whole lot livelier.

A Love Story Seven Years in the Making
Liz and Brice’s story didn’t start yesterday. The two have been together since 2019, and fans have watched their relationship grow from young love to real-life marriage. In November 2025, the couple tied the knot in an intimate outdoor ceremony, with little Leighton right there as their flower girl.
Liz has always been candid about the challenges of pregnancy and childbirth as a little person — including delivering via C-section — facing it all with the same quiet courage that made her a fan favorite for years. And now, with two little ones under three, this couple has built exactly the life they dreamed of.


Boppa & Grandma: Trent & Amber’s Sweetest Role Yet
And let’s not forget the proud grandparents. Trent Johnston — now proudly answering to “Boppa” (he even has the shirt to prove it) — has been soaking up every second with his grandbabies, from sleepy cuddles to his beloved “Boppa Thursday” bonding time with Leighton. Amber, meanwhile, celebrated Leighton’s first birthday with the kind of grandmotherly joy that could melt the coldest heart.
With two grandkids now, Trent and Amber’s house is officially the happiest place in Georgia.
So tell us, Johnston fans: should TLC give Liz and Brice their own spinoff show — or should this growing family stay right where they are on 7 Little Johnstons? And while you’re at it: who do you think baby Coleman looks like more — a mini Liz or a mini Brice? Drop your take in the comments. This one’s going to be a good one.
