It’s a boy for Elizabeth Johnston and Brice Bolden!
On Friday, the “7 Little Johnstons” stars announced the birth of their son, Coleman Brice Bolden Jr., earlier this week.
“09/08/2026 our family is complete, with this handsome bundle of joy,” Liz wrote on Instagram, sharing photos of Coleman with Brice and with his two-year-old big sister, Leighton, whom Liz and Brice welcomed in November 2023.
In an exclusive interview with Today, the couple shared their hopes as their family grows.

“We’re so happy to have Coleman here and to be home together as a family of four,” they said. “We are so looking forward to watching Leighton and Coleman grow up together.”
Liz also shared that their son is named after Brice and his grandfather, following in the Georgian tradition of passing down family names.

The couple has not shared details about the birth or Liz’s pregnancy, but teased in their interview with the outlet that the journey will be documented on the next season of the show.
Although the couple hasn’t confirmed whether or not Coleman is a little person like Liz, she has been open in the past about wanting a little child as well. (Liz has achondroplasia dwarfism, while Brice and Leighton are of average height.)

“I think one day when Leighton’s a little older, maybe closer to school, I can convince [Brice] for us to just have one more,” Liz told People in 2024. “One more try for a little person is what I tell him. Just for us to try, because we would definitely be stoked about having one average [sized child] and one little [person child] someday.”
Many fans are commenting on Coleman’s resemblance to Liz’s dad, Trent, especially in photos shared on the Team 7LJ Instagram page, run by Trent and Amber.
Liz’s younger sister Emma also shared a post on Instagram welcoming her nephew.
“Welcome to the world my beautiful nephew Coleman!” she wrote. “Many of you know I have been counting down the days for this cuddle and it did not disappoint… he is the most precious little darling ever!”
“Thank you so much for making me the happiest auntie on earth, I’m so happy for y’all [Liz and Brice]. And we couldn’t forget our Leighton; she definitely kept us on our toes and was ready to be home.”
Welcoming Coleman to the family has fans questioning again if this could bridge the rift between the Johnston family and estranged sister, Anna. The Ashley has reported extensively on the rift between the family, which has still not been reconciled as of press time.
Anna has not shared any kind of statement regarding her nephew’s birth and she does not follow her parents or any of her siblings on social media. Recently, though, fans noticed Anna’s reposts on TikTok have been shading her estranged family, particularly her parents.
“I’m not jealous of your money, cars or house,” one post read. “I’m jealous of the unconditional love you receive from your mother, the hugs you get to still hold with your papa, & the acceptance of who you are from your family.”
