Liz Johnston, a prominent figure on TLC’s 7 Little Johnstons, is anticipating the arrival of her first child. She and her longtime partner, Brice Bolden, reside together, which is no secret to their dedicated fanbase.
Over the past few seasons of the show, rumors and speculations about the state of Liz and Brice’s relationship have circulated. Some even questioned if the couple had parted ways entirely. Liz’s social media activity did not escape the watchful eyes of TLC enthusiasts, with some speculating she may have contributed to these rumors. Consequently, it left many wondering if these breakup rumors were perhaps a calculated ploy to maintain viewers’ interest in the series.
With these ongoing speculations, fans of 7 Little Johnstons received both surprising and unsurprising news – Liz Johnston and Brice Bolden are expecting a child together. It’s unsurprising to many fans since the couple has a substantial history, is legally adults, and shares a living space. Nevertheless, the news was shocking to some due to the absence of a formal marriage or engagement.
One burning question on the minds of 7 Little Johnstons’ viewers is straightforward – what will their child’s surname be? The answer came directly from Liz Johnston herself in a recent Instagram post.
In most conventional circumstances, a child inherits their father’s last name, presuming the father is present. Yet, the situation becomes more intricate when the parents are unmarried. Liz’s intention is to name the baby ‘Leighton.’ The assumption that the baby is a girl gained momentum, primarily due to a post by Liz’s sister, Anna.
