It is hard to believe it has been seven years since TLC’s The Little Couple last aired, but fans still hold the beloved family close to their hearts.
While Dr. Jen Arnold and Bill Klein have stayed out of the spotlight to focus on their family and careers, a rare new update has left fans absolutely stunned. Viewers who remember the couple's children as energetic kids will hardly recognize them now; they are all grown up!
Today, Will Klein is 16 years old (born February 24, 2010), and Zoey Klein is 14 years old (born September 22, 2011). They were seen in a new photo shared by Arnold during the family's visit to the Little People of America conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Attending the annual conference was a special time for the family, who have always been active in the LPA community. In an Instagram post, Arnold opened up about what the trip meant to her.

Arnold began, "Our last night in New Orleans at the Little People of America Conference was the perfect way to wrap up an incredible week. As always, the conference was filled with connection, learning, laughter, and community."
She continued, "We barely saw Zoey all week because she was busy making new friends and creating memories around every corner. Will spent much of his time with DAAA (Dwarf Athletic Association of America), playing basketball—his favorite sport—and badminton, loving every minute of the competition and camaraderie."
Arnold, a neonatologist and pediatrician, added that she had a wonderful week connecting with colleagues and friends. She concluded, "My heart is full. Grateful for old friends, new friends, professional colleagues, and the opportunity to be part of such an extraordinary organization. Until next year, LPA."
Fans chimed in the comments, pointing out how fast the years have flown by. Many long-time viewers noted that seeing the siblings so grown up brought back fond memories of watching them as babies on television.
"You two are the perfect parents for Will and Zoey; they are obviously thriving!" wrote one follower. A second Instagram user penned, "Omg the kids grow up so quickly, beautiful family."
"Sounds wonderful! Glad you all had such fun. Will and Zoey are so grown up. Oh, the memories of seeing them first come home with you. So grateful you shared with us!" exclaimed a third social media user.
A fourth fan concluded, "Can't believe how grown up they both are!"
The Little Couple was canceled due to a corporate lawsuit between TLC and the show's production company. By the time the legal battle was finally settled years later, the Klein family had moved to Boston and decided to prioritize giving their growing kids a normal life away from TV cameras, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
