The Johnston family just got a little bigger, and fans of 7 Little Johnstons are celebrating right along with them. Elizabeth Johnston Bolden and her husband Brice Bolden welcomed their second child, son Coleman Brice Johnston Bolden, on September 8, 2026. He joins big sister Leighton, who turns three this fall. The couple married in November 2025 and say they are happy to be home together as a family of four. The name Coleman is a tribute to both Brice and his paternal great-grandfather, carrying a family legacy into a brand new generation.
Elizabeth has always been candid with viewers about her journey into motherhood. She has achondroplasia, and both of her children were delivered via C-section under general anesthesia. She has also spoken openly about a tougher reality that comes with being a mom in the public eye: strangers who invade her family’s personal space when they are out together, something she has called the hardest part of the experience. Her honesty has helped shine a light on what many families with dwarfism deal with day to day.
For longtime viewers, this is one more milestone in a family they have watched grow up on screen. For anyone who just appreciates a good-news story, it’s a reminder that a kind word and a little space can mean the world to a young family. So congratulations to Elizabeth, Brice, and big sister Leighton on their newest addition. What’s the best piece of parenting advice you’ve ever received?
