Lilly Bennett, who appeared in the early seasons of Unexpected, quickly won the hearts of viewers thanks to her maturity well beyond her years. Now a mother of two, she’s living a more stable and grounded life than ever before—prompting many fans to hope for her return in the upcoming Season 7.
She first appeared on the show at just 16 years old while pregnant with her first child, navigating the complexities of teenage pregnancy with her then-boyfriend. Through all the ups and downs, Lilly gradually proved herself to be a responsible and devoted mother. Today, she lives with her fiancé Lawrence and their two young children. Her social media is often filled with warm family moments that highlight just how much she has grown from the unsure teen viewers once saw on screen.
Lawrence, the father of her second child, is widely appreciated by fans for his calm and supportive nature. The couple is now engaged and planning their wedding in the near future. If Lilly returns for another season, fans could get an intimate look at their wedding preparations, raising two kids, and building a solid, loving home together.
Although TLC has yet to confirm the full cast list for Season 7, many sources and fans are hopeful that Lilly will make a comeback. If she does, she’s expected to take on a more experienced, grounded role—perhaps guiding newer cast members by sharing her own lessons in motherhood, navigating social pressures, and growing through adversity.
She could serve as a meaningful link between longtime fans and the new faces on the show, bringing a calm, realistic, and inspiring perspective to the series.
From a teenage mom facing uncertainty to a strong woman building a future for her family, Lilly has come a long way. If she returns next season, she’s sure to be a heartwarming and inspiring presence in Unexpected‘s next chapter.
