Born in early November 2023 to Elizabeth “Liz” Johnston and Brice Bolden, the adorable baby has captured the hearts of fans of the show. A recent photo shared by proud grandmother Amber Johnston showcased a heartfelt moment that will surely be treasured in the years to come.

In fact, the TLC star affectionately refers to himself as Leighton Bolden’s “Boppa.” Fans of 7 Little Johnstons are eagerly anticipating Season 14 to witness Trent’s reaction to the pregnancy news, but they are even more excited to see Leighton on their screens, which may happen in Season 15.
Several photos have surfaced of Elizabeth’s father bonding with his grandchild, including one in January where he was captured cuddling his sleeping granddaughter. In the caption, he expressed, “… it doesn’t get better than this.” Undoubtedly, Trent will spend plenty of quality time with his grandchild in the future. The latest photo shows Trent with Leighton, who appears fascinated by the flowers. Liz has returned to work, and the caption of the Instagram post shared on February 2 revealed that Trent gets to babysit on Thursdays.
Fans of TLC’s 7 Little Johnstons flooded the comments section, expressing their adoration for the heartwarming moments between Elizabeth’s baby and her father.
