Amber and Trent Johnston's biological daughter Elizabeth has a boyfriend. In the premiere episode of Season 8, the couple went over each of their child's romantic interests and reveal that Elizabeth prefers normal-sized people when it comes to dating. She's been dating Brice Bolden and they were extremely happy with their daughter's choice. Elizabeth had begun dating him after her previous relationship with James Burdette ended. She was extremely heartbroken about that breakup and audiences were witness to her sadness. However, with Brice's entry, she's been able to find happiness once again and they are coming in 16 months and counting, and going very strong in their relationship. 

When Brice was first introduced to the '7LJ' audiences, Elizabeth had called him "super sweet", while he called her "too amazing." He had said, "Liz is great. I love being with her, and I would love to be with her for a very long time if she wants me to.” The two looked really happy and were blushing while talking about each other but there was also concern and confusion lurking in Elizabeth's mind as to what could be the reason that Brice didn't care about her height. He just brushed off the topic saying that it's not a big deal to him and that she's perfect just the way she is. What added to her worries was that even Brice's parents didn't look at her or treated her differently. She explained that her worries stemmed from not being treated well in previous relationships and friendships. 

In the recent episode, Brice and Elizabeth once again spoke about their relationship with the filming crew. In the confessional, he ended up saying that he "loves" her. He said it exuding a lot of honesty but Elizabeth didn't look amazed by his declaration and instead rolled her eyes briefly and a disapproving expression flashed across her face. No brownie points for guessing if she said it back, she didn't. Does this mean trouble? Will Brice's profession of his love for Elizabeth spell doom for their relationship? We will have to wait to find out. 

'7 Little Johnstons' Season 8 will premiere on December 29 at 8 pm on TLC.
