'7 Little Johnstons' Liz Breaks Silence About Breakup With Brice Bolden (Exclusive Clip)

Ahead of 7 Little Johnstons Season 14, TLC viewers might want to brace themselves for an emotional ride. That's because Liz Johnston has officially broken her silence about splitting from longtime boyfriend, Brice Bolden.

In a clip TLC shared exclusively with Parade, Liz revealed the shocking news and what led to their breakup,

"So Brice and I are no longer together," she told producers before becoming emotional and temporarily excusing herself. "Can I have a minute?"

After Liz took a moment to recover, she explained, "So Brice and I are no longer living together. We have separated."

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."

Liz confessed she had "a lot of emotions"—however, she was "mostly angry because things just change." Although she admitted Brice "is genuinely a good guy," Liz said she wasn't getting what she needed from their relationship.

She explained: "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."

In the Season 14 trailer, Liz and Brice revealed they were expecting a baby—and those who follow her on social media know they welcomed a baby girl, Leighton, in November 2023. It's unclear if Liz and Brice have since reconciled.

Season 14 of 7 Little Johnstons premieres on Tuesday, March 12 at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.
