Did Brice and Elizabeth break up?
It appears they have. In a clip TLC shared exclusively with Parade, Liz officially broke her silence about splitting from her longtime boyfriend.
"So Brice and I are no longer together," she told producers before becoming emotional and temporarily excusing herself. "Can I have a minute?"
Amber and Trent's daughter, 22, continued: "Us living together, it felt more like roommates when we were actually in a relationship. And I could not live like that because I am not a person who wants to be in a relationship where it doesn't feel like there's any love or any just, I don't know, spark."
In the exclusive sneak peek, Liz noted that she grew up watching her parents making an effort to keep their romance alive after more than 25 years of marriage.
"I can't do it with somebody who is just OK with being in a fine relationship, being in a mediocre relationship," she explained. "And I can't be in a mediocre and fine relationship because that's not who I am."

Are the Johnstons getting divorced?
No, the couple will celebrate 29 years together in April 2024. But you'd be forgiven for wondering. The couple has been through some rocky times, including a rough patch in 2017 that prompted family patriarch Trent to sit the family down and hint at the possibility of a divorce. “Y’all listen up for a minute. Um, me and mom got something really important we need to tell you,” he said. “You guys are our first priority and we’re going to keep it like that. It’s tough, but it’s something we have to do.” Turned out the couple was not divorcing. But rumors resurfaced two years later amid some tension between them on the show.
"We not only hit a big mark with the kids and all of them having their own personalities, but it’s definitely put a heavy strain on Trent and I,” Amber told Good Housekeeping that year. “We’re at a very challenging mark in our family dynamics and home."
But were they separating? Not so fast. “We honestly have always—in all of the challenges that we have faced and continue to face—been a team. We know that a relationship, parenting, and marriage is a constant work in progress. With both of us feeling that and knowing that, we don’t give up."
Which Johnstons are adopted?
Anna, 23, was adopted from Russia, Alex, 18, was adopted from South Korea and Emma, 18, was adopted from China. Jonah, 24, and Liz, 21, are Trent and Amber's biological children.
Are any of the Johnstons biological relatives?
Jonah and Liz are the biological children of Trent and Amber, while Anna, Alex and Emma are adopted members of the family.
How tall is Amber Johnston?
Amber Johnston stands 4 feet tall.
What kind of dwarfism do the Johnstons have?
The entire Johnston family was born with achondroplastic dwarfism, a genetic condition.
Where do the Johnstons live?
The Johnstons reside in Forsyth, Georgia, in a 3,660-square foot home that sits on nearly 10 acres.
In a look at their new home for TLC years back, Amber said, "Trent and I definitely do not move in automatically modifying the counters, the reason being this world was not built for little people and therefore we feel it's best to raise our kids in average size settings, because when we step out the front door, nothing is built for us. And this way the kids, they know how to adapt."
How much did the Johnstons pay for their house?
According to Trulia, the house sold to the family in 2017 for $417,000.
How much does TLC pay the Johnstons?
While salaries have not been explicitly revealed, it’s speculated that some reality-TV families get paid around 10 percent of their show's production budget per episode. So, if 7 Little Johnstons costs $250,000 to $400,000 per episode to make (an unsubstantiated but existing estimate), the Johnstons would be taking in $25,000 to $40,000 of that money. Keep in mind, however, that there are only about 10 episodes per season, and any money the family earns presumably has to be divided among seven people.

So if 7 Little Johnstons costs anywhere from $250,000 to $400,000 to make, that would mean the family earns anywhere from $25,000 to $40,000 per episode, which is $250,000 to $400,000 for a standard 10-episode season. However, these numbers have not been substantiated by TLC or the family, so take them with a grain of salt.
