Tension arose among TLC fans during the finale of Season 8 of “7 Little Johnstons” when Trent Johnston told Jonah to leave and find his own place. This led to speculation about whether the same fate awaits Emma and Alex Johnston. However, the situation unfolded differently, as Jonah took longer to move out compared to Liz Johnston, who was the first to leave. Keep reading for more details.
Emma and Alex Johnston have grown up since their early appearances on the show. In a surprising twist, Jonah’s venture into independent living was short-lived, as he ended up returning home after experimenting with Delta 8. Liz, who had left before Anna, found herself pregnant and has also come back home. Meanwhile, Anna, who had been at odds with her mother, finally left their house and now owns her own home.
Given that Emma and Alex are heading off to college, fans of “7 Little Johnstons” naturally wonder if Trent and Amber will encourage them to live on their own as well. Some fans even urged the youngest children to distance themselves from their parents. This sentiment was fueled by Emma being tasked with ensuring that Jonah, 23, kept his room tidy and woke up on time for work.
Fans of the show have observed that Emma gets along much better with Amber compared to Anna, who had clashed with her mother for years. It is speculated that Anna may be estranged from her parents. However, there are doubts about whether Emma will want to leave home. On Reddit, critics of the TLC family suggested that her parents might hope to keep her around for longer.
A discussion on the social media platform focused on Emma and her brother Alex, questioning whether they would be encouraged to move out now that they have graduated. Opinions varied among TLC fans, with some believing that Alex might not leave unless he marries his girlfriend, Allie Smith. Others expressed uncertainty about Emma’s departure as well. Here are some of their thoughts:
- Emma is needed at home to ensure Jonah wakes up and keeps his room clean.
- Alex and Emma conform to the mold Trent and Amber want, while Anna was rebellious and didn’t fit their expectations.
- Alex and Emma don’t seem to face the same pressure to move out.
- Amber depends on Emma to babysit her grown adult child, so she will likely want her to stay. Alex has always been coddled, and they might try to get him married off to his girlfriend and ask them to move out because he struggles to be independent.
The future living arrangements for Emma and Alex Johnston remain uncertain, and fans continue to speculate about their paths after graduation.
