Heidi has once again dropped into an episode of ‘7 Little Johnstons,’ and we love the energy she brings. Who is she? Let’s get to know her.
For eight years, fans of TLC’s 7 Little Johnstons have watched the world’s largest family of little people navigate environments that are rarely made for individuals of their size. Trent and Amber Johnston, along with their two biological children and three adopted children, have invited viewers into their lives in order to see the challenges and joys that they face. They also demonstrate that existing can be the great equalizer.

Who is Heidi on ‘7 Little Johnstons’?
Trent Johnston is the youngest of four siblings, and Heidi is one of his middle sisters. She usually drops in when there is a larger family event going on. For example, everyone was gearing up for Christmas on Episode 6 of Season 11. There was also another exciting reason to celebrate, as Anna shared with her Aunt Heidi that she met someone. Heidi’s excellent advice was just “take it slow.”
Fast forward to Episode 8 of Season 13, where the Johnstons are celebrating Thanksgiving. This was especially odd, as the episode aired in June 2023. Regardless, Heidi was back as everyone was poised to enjoy their meal at their parents’s house. Trent and Amber usually play host for family gatherings because Trent’s dad is in a wheelchair, which makes traveling difficult, but this time it was different.

Unfortunately this particular Thanksgiving was marred by the fact that Heidi was getting a divorce, and Trent’s diet was limited by his borderline diabetic diagnosis. Despite these hiccups, everyone played games and enjoyed spending time with each other. As upsetting as a separation is, perhaps we’ll see more of Heidi on the show.

Heidi Johnston has a full life outside of her brother’s television show.
According to Heidi’s Facebook page, she has two daughters with her soon-to-be-ex-husband. Her oldest daughter, Carrington Lee, graduated from Georgia Southern University with a degree in Exercise Science in May 2022. From there, she is headed to the “Medical University of South Carolina to pursue a doctorate degree in Occupational Therapy.” In a post about this achievement, Heidi said, “Continue to believe in yourself and live the life you’ve always imagined … We love you bunches.”

Heidi’s other daughter just finished up her sophomore year in 2023, at Houston County High School. Ella Grace Lee received second year honors that year and accepted this award at a ceremony proudly recorded by Heidi. In fact, Heidi often praises her daughters on Facebook. “To my beautiful daughters, YOU make me see life in full color,” she said in October 2022. “You add sparkle and pizzazz to everything and today I celebrate the fun firecrackers that YOU are!” This was a birthday post for both of them which begs the question — do they share a birthday?
There are also numerous photos of Heidi spending time with buddies. The former legal nurse consultant is now a realtor who loves shouting out pals on their birthdays, organizing Super Bowl parties, and simply having a good time. She’s a great friend and a fun person! Again, this is what we need on 7 Little Johnstons. A single Heidi who is ready to mingle.
