The arrival of Coleman marks a new chapter for the family, who already have a two-year-old daughter, Leighton. In a statement to the media, the couple shared their excitement: “We’re so happy to have Coleman here and to be home together as a family of four. We are so looking forward to watching Leighton and Coleman grow up together.”
Earlier in the year, in March, Johnston revealed her pregnancy through a heartfelt announcement to PEOPLE. At that time, the couple shared their delight in letting the world know that Leighton would soon be promoted to the role of big sister, with the baby expected to arrive in autumn 2026.
The couple welcomed their first child, Leighton, in November 2023. They joyfully shared the news through PEOPLE, expressing their excitement at becoming parents for the first time. Their announcement was accompanied by photos capturing intimate moments in the delivery room, showcasing the couple’s happiness as they introduced their daughter to the world.
In a post on Instagram, Johnston described Leighton’s birth in a touching message: “11/03/2023 Leighton Drew Bolden, 5lbs 10oz, 19 inches long of pure sweetness. We couldn’t be more in love with you!!!” The announcement highlighted the couple’s affection and anticipation for their new role as parents.
In June 2024, Johnston began to share her aspirations for expanding their family further. She mentioned her desire to give Leighton a sibling, indicating that she would like to wait until Leighton was a bit older, perhaps closer to starting school. Johnston expressed her enthusiasm for the idea of having “one average and one little” child, jokingly remarking that it would be amusing to have a boy who resembles her, especially since Leighton embodies Brice’s characteristics.
The couple’s journey together began in 2019 when they first met in their neighbourhood, living just a few houses apart. Johnston and Bolden tied the knot on November 8, 2025, at the Johnston family home in Forsyth, Georgia. Their wedding was a small, intimate affair attended by around 80 close friends and family, including Johnston’s parents, Trent and Amber.
The couple intended for their wedding to have a romantic autumn theme, encouraging guests to don semi-formal attire in autumnal colours. Johnston expressed how significant the venue was to them, stating that it reflected the essence of their relationship: “It’s where we spent most of our dating life.” Their daughter Leighton took on the charming role of flower girl during the ceremony, and a touching rendition of Kina Grannis’ “Can’t Help Falling in Love” played as Johnston made her way down the aisle, a song made famous by the 2018 film *Crazy Rich Asians*.
Reflecting on her new status as a wife, Johnston shared her thoughts on the meaning of marriage. She described it as an official recognition of their family unit and a commitment to teamwork, which only solidified their bond further.
As the Johnston family embarks on this new journey with baby Coleman, their story continues to resonate with fans and followers, showcasing the joys and challenges of growing their family. The couple’s warmth and enthusiasm for their children promise an engaging perspective on family life for viewers of *7 Little Johnstons* and admirers on social media alike.
