Elizabeth Johnston is expanding her family once again.
The “7 Little Johnstons” star, 24, is expecting her second child with husband Brice Bolden.
The couple shared the happy news that their daughter, Leighton, will soon become a big sister.
The Exciting News
“We’re so thrilled to announce that Leighton will be becoming a big sister early fall of 2026,” the couple said while revealing the pregnancy in an exclusive with PEOPLE.
The new baby will join their growing family of three.
Johnston and Bolden welcomed their first child, daughter Leighton Drew Bolden, in November 2023.
At the time, the pair shared their excitement about finally becoming parents after months of anticipation.
“The wait is finally over! We’re excited to introduce our baby to the world,” they said when announcing her arrival.
Shortly after Leighton was born, Johnston shared several personal moments from the experience on social media.
Photos from the delivery room and clips of Bolden holding their newborn gave fans a glimpse into the emotional day.
In one caption, Johnston celebrated her daughter’s arrival, writing that the baby weighed 5 pounds, 10 ounces and measured 19 inches long, adding that the family was already completely in love.
Even before announcing this new pregnancy, Johnston had spoken about her hopes of eventually giving her daughter a sibling.
Elizabeth Has Previously Commented on Expanding Her Family
During a previous interview in June 2024, she said she and Bolden had discussed the possibility of expanding their family once Leighton was a bit older.
Johnston joked at the time that she might try to convince her husband to go for “one more,” adding that it would be exciting to see what their next child might be like.
She also playfully imagined the possibility of having a son who might resemble her, just as their daughter already shares similarities with Bolden.
The couple’s journey together began several years ago. Johnston and Bolden first started dating in 2019 after meeting in their neighborhood, where their homes were just a few houses apart.
Their relationship continued to grow over time, eventually leading to marriage.
The pair tied the knot on Nov. 8, 2025, in a romantic ceremony held at the Johnston family home in Forsyth, Georgia.
Around 80 close friends and family members attended the intimate celebration, including Johnston’s parents, Trent Johnston and Amber Johnston.
Guests followed a fall-themed dress code to match the cozy, seasonal atmosphere of the wedding.
Following the pregnancy announcement, fans flooded social media with messages of congratulations and excitement for the growing family.
Many longtime viewers of “7 Little Johnstons” shared their happiness at seeing Johnston and Bolden prepare to become a family of four.
Elizabeth’s sister Emma commented, “Auntie x2 is ready to rock two babies on her hips.”
