It’s been 7 years since TLC’s Sweet Home Sextuplets introduced the world to the Waldrop family. Here’s what Eric and Courtney’s 9 kids—twins, sextuplets, and their oldest—look like today.
Where Are They Now? The Waldrop Family’s 9 Children Are Growing Up Fast — See the Sweet Updates!
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 7 years since Sweet Home Sextuplets first aired on TLC. The show gave fans a front-row seat to the life of Eric and Courtney Waldrop, a couple from small-town Alabama raising nine children, including a set of sextuplets and twins.
The cameras may be gone, but the Waldrop story continues—filled with growth, love, and a little chaos.
👨👩👧👦 Meet the Waldrop Family
Eric and Courtney never expected to be TV stars. The couple, who met in the 8th grade and married in 2004, always dreamed of a big family. Their first child, Saylor, was born in 2008. Then came twins Wales and Bridge in 2012 after fertility treatments.
After a series of miscarriages, Courtney became pregnant again—this time with sextuplets. In December 2017, she gave birth to three boys and three girls: Blu, Layke, Tag, Rawlings, Rayne, and Rivers.
📺 How They Became Reality Stars
The Waldrops went from a family of five to eleven overnight. TLC’s Sweet Home Sextuplets captured their hectic but joyful life—from diaper changes to sleepless nights. But Eric and Courtney never chased fame.
“We didn’t do this to become celebrities. We just wanted to share how blessed we are,” Eric said.
The show also highlighted the couple’s strong marriage and the incredible community support they received—especially during Courtney’s high-risk pregnancy.
🎉 Life Now: What the Waldrop Kids Are Up To
👧 The Sextuplet Girls: Rawlings, Rayne & Rivers
Now 7 years old, the three girls are loving life as dancers. In May 2025, they performed in their fourth dance recital, wearing adorable sprinkle-themed costumes.
“It blows in every direction in this house, and you just have to hang on!” Courtney joked in a recent Instagram post.
👦 The Sextuplet Boys: Blu, Layke & Tag
The boys are busy playing baseball with their older brothers. A recent photo from April 2025 showed them suited up in matching Dodgers jerseys, ready to hit the field.
Though they’re still the “little guys,” Courtney says they’re quickly becoming “big kids” right before her eyes.
🎂 Birthday Fun
In February 2025, the sextuplets turned 7 and celebrated with cupcakes, colorful decorations, and lots of laughs. Courtney shared how excited they were for their party—asking about it “60 times a day!”
👀 Eye Color Curiosity
Fans noticed something unique: two of the sextuplets have bright blue eyes, while the others have brown. Instagram followers were fascinated, asking if the older boys had similar eye colors.
“Rawlings’ eyes are beyond beautiful!” one commenter said.
👦 Saylor: The Oldest Waldrop
Saylor, now 16, is growing into a confident, responsible teen. A birthday photo in December 2024 showed him smiling with pride. He’s described as a great role model for his younger siblings.
👬 Wales & Bridge: The Twins
The twins are now 13 and officially teens! In January 2025, Courtney celebrated their birthday with a heartfelt message, calling them “a double blessing” after her earlier loss.
She also shared that they look just like her father and his twin brother—a beautiful family connection.
🏡 A Growing Family with a Strong Foundation
The Waldrops’ story is about more than just a big family—it’s about faith, love, and resilience. From dance recitals to baseball games and birthdays, each child is growing up with their own unique personality and passion.
And through it all, Eric and Courtney remain a team, showing the world what it means to love big—even when life gets a little wild.
