Did ‘7 Little Johnstons’ Stars Liz and Brice Split?
In early 2023, fans began to worry that the couple – who tends to keep their relationship off of social media – split when they stopped sharing updates about each other.
“Please, please, please tell me y’all did not break up!! You looked so perfect together,” one social media user commented via Instagram earlier this year. Another worried fan added, “Did you and Bryce break up I hope all the best I thought you guys were the cutest couple!”
Liz continued to fuel rumors that they called it quits when she posted a selfie in February 2023, which she captioned with a smiling sun emoji. Soon after she shared the photo, fans noticed that she deleted all of her photos with Brice from her profile.
Fans rushed to the comments section of the selfie post to share encouraging messages with Liz amid the speculated split. “You well just be fine without him you can do it. keep grinding you don’t need a man for happiness bbg!” one person wrote. Another told the reality star, “THIS TOO SHALL PASS we love you ! Keep shinning queen.”
Brice seemingly squashed split rumors when he shared a birthday message for Liz in December 2023. The father of one wrote on his Instagram Stories, “Happy birthday babe! You are the best mama! I love you!”
However, in a preview for 7 Little Johnstons season 14 shared by Parade in March 2024, Liz confirmed that she and Brice were “separated” and “no longer living together.”
“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,” she said, adding that she wanted a relationship like her parents, Amber and Trent Johnston, who made sure the romance was still alive in their marriage after more tha 25 years.
“I want that, but I can’t do it with somebody who is just OK with being in a fine relationship, being in a mediocre relationship,” Liz continued. “And I can’t be in a mediocre and fine relationship because that’s not who I am.”
Liz told a producer that she had “a lot of emotions” after the split, but felt mostly “angry” because their relationship “changed.”
“When the relationship starts to mentally affect somebody — when they don’t feel like they’re loved, and they tried to do everything to keep the relationship going and to keep the spark alive, and then now they’re exhausted from it and then they just get pretty much depressed — I can’t live like that,” she concluded.
