Seven years after captivating audiences with their heartwarming chaos on Sweet Home Sextuplets, the Waldrop family of Albertville, Alabama, continues to win hearts. What began as a story of faith, resilience, and an extraordinary pregnancy has blossomed into a tale of nine thriving children—each carving their own path while remaining deeply connected.
Eric and Courtney Waldrop never set out to be reality TV stars. High school sweethearts who married in 2004, they dreamed of a big family but never imagined they’d become parents to sextuplets. After welcoming their first son, Saylor, in 2008 and twins Bridge and Wales in 2012, Courtney suffered multiple heartbreaking miscarriages before fertility treatments led to an astonishing revelation: she was carrying six babies.
The birth of Blu, Layke, Tag, Rawlings, Rayne, and Rivers in 2017 defied the odds, instantly transforming their family of five into a bustling household of eleven. TLC’s Sweet Home Sextuplets documented their early days—the sleepless nights, the military-level organization, and the overwhelming love that held them together.
Today, the sextuplets are energetic seven-year-olds with distinct personalities. The girls—Rawlings, Rayne, and Rivers—have taken to dance, recently dazzling in matching orange tutus at their recital. Meanwhile, the boys—Blu, Layke, and Tag—have followed their older brothers onto the baseball field, trading diapers for Dodgers jerseys.
The older Waldrop kids are hitting milestones too. Saylor, now 16, has grown into a confident young man, while 13-year-old twins Bridge and Wales embody the spirited bond of twinship. Courtney often shares how their resemblance to her father and his twin brother feels like a beautiful family legacy.
Through Instagram updates, fans have watched the Waldrops navigate life beyond diapers and feedings. Whether it’s birthday celebrations, dance rehearsals, or sibling antics, their posts radiate joy and gratitude. As Courtney once said, their journey was never about fame—it was about sharing the blessings of their unconventional, love-filled life.
