Seven years after the reality show Sweet Home Sextuplets gave viewers an intimate look into the Waldrop family’s life, the cameras may have stopped rolling, but the story of Courtney and Eric Waldrop and their nine children continues to unfold. The couple, who met in eighth grade and married in 2004, had always dreamed of a large family. After the birth of their first son, Saylor, in 2008, followed by twins Wales and Bridge in 2012 (after fertility treatments and heartbreaking miscarriages), their lives changed dramatically in 2017 with the unexpected arrival of sextuplets. At the time, Courtney, a elementary school teacher and mother of three, admitted she was “terrified” to learn she was expecting six babies—a high-risk pregnancy that ultimately resulted in the healthy, early birth of Blu, Layke, Tag, Rawlings, Rayne, and Rivers.

The sextuplets’ birth transformed the Waldrops from a family of five into a household of eleven, quickly capturing public attention. TLC’s Sweet Home Sextuplets documented their daily life, offering viewers an intimate glimpse into the logistical challenges and joyful chaos of raising nine young children. Despite the sudden fame, Eric and Courtney emphasized that their goal was not stardom but sharing their blessings and faith. The show also highlighted the unwavering strength of their marriage and the immense support they received from their community—from neighborhood fundraisers to hands-on help from friends and family—enabling them to navigate the early years of their large family.

Today, the Waldrop children have grown into a lively, dynamic group, each developing their own distinct personalities and interests. The three girls of the sextuplets—Rawlings, Rayne, and Rivers, now seven—have discovered a love for dance and recently performed in their fourth recital. Meanwhile, the three boys—Blu, Layke, and Tag—have taken up baseball, joining their older brothers on the field and building both skills and confidence. Their seventh birthday in February was celebrated with cupcakes and bright party decorations, reflecting their continued growth and joy in life’s childhood milestones.

The older boys are also reaching important milestones. Saylor, the eldest, celebrated his 16th birthday in December 2024, described by his parents as an “amazing boy” and “great role model.” Twins Wales and Bridge turned 13 in January 2025, marking a milestone that highlights their inseparable bond and strong resemblance to Courtney’s father and his twin brother. Family social media posts frequently showcase their growth, with fans marveling at how much they’ve grown since the show aired and noting details such as the strikingly blue eyes of two of the sextuplets.

From bustling baseball fields to lively dance performances to teenage milestones, the Waldrop children continue to thrive, grounded in the love and faith that have defined their extraordinary journey. The family’s public sharing of their life—originally on television and now through social media—continues to resonate with fans who have watched them grow from tiny newborns into a lively, close-knit group, symbolizing resilience, family strength, and the enduring power of community support.
