'7 Little Johnstons': Innocent Pic Gives Away New Boy's Identity – What's His Name?

It's been almost two months since the 7 Little Johnstons family introduced the newest member of their household. They often share photos and videos with the new guy, which definitely piqued fans' curiosity.

Despite the growing interest in his identity, not much has been revealed about him. Amber and Trent Johnston, as well as their five kids, have been doing a great job keeping his info private. But that might not last for long as fans are starting to get more details about him.

7 Little Johnstons New Member's Identity Revealed

It looks like the Johnston family could no longer keep the blonde boy's identity a secret. The 7 Little Johnstons stars unintentionally revealed his name with an innocent photo.

Recently, Amber Johnston took to their official Instagram page and shared a shot of their Christmas decor at home. For this year, they adorned the fireplace with festive ornaments, including Christmas stockings.

Each sock has Amber and Trent's children's name on it — Jonah, Anna, Elizabeth, Emma, and Alex. However, another stocking hung alongside the 7 Little Johnstons siblings. It belongs to the Finnish exchange student currently staying at their home.

Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot the extra sock and what's written on it. A closer look reveals his name is "Joose."

Get To Know the Blonde Boy

So who exactly is Joose? According to a Finnish media outlet, his real name is Joose Jeskanen. He's a 17-year-old high school student who traveled to the U.S. as an exchange student.

Apparently, two of his older siblings used to be exchange students as well. This prompted Joose's mom to do the same to him. However, given that he's the only little person in the family, it somehow concerned his mother.

That was when she reached out to 7 Little Johnstons stars Amber and Trent on Instagram. After a brief deliberation, the couple ended up welcoming Joose Jeskanen into their home.
