Alex Johnston is the son of Amber and Trent Johnston. He’s the youngest member of the family.
Amber and Trent adopted Alex from Seoul, South Korea.
Alex was born in November 2005, meaning that he’ll turn 17 years old in 2022.
What happened to Alex from 7 Little Johnstons?
In the earlier days of TLC’s 7 Little Johnstons in 2015, Alex had to have surgery to have his tonsils and adenoids removed.
His mom, Amber, hoped that this would help with breathing issues he was having at night but a doctor diagnosed that he had central apnea “most likely caused from brain stem compression“.
Alex had to have brain surgery in 2017 and his parents were very apprehensive about him going into hospital but he made a full recovery.
He also previously had to have a routine MRI scan and due to complications while he was sedated, Alex stopped breathing but he recovered following the scare.
The family has expanded, and everyone is ready to show their exchange student just what it means to be a Johnston! New relationships, new challenges, and new adventures all come together to create the mega-fun next season of #7LittleJohnstons, premiering Tuesday March 15 at 9/8c! pic.twitter.com/HEPBKfkQaZ

In 2022, Alex’s brain surgery and MRI scares are things of the past.
Nowadays he’s making his own income creating origami and he has an Etsy shop called AlexPaperCo.
Alex creates all kinds of crafts from paper including elephants, dinosaurs, pandas, bookmarks, ninja stars and more.
The 16-year-old is still living at home with his family in Forsyth, Georgia and judging by a preview of season 11, his health is fine in 2022 but he’s having some trouble at school.
Alex can be seen leaving the family dinner table in tears during season 11 when he’s asked about how school is going.
