Plot Synopsis

TODDLERS & TIARAS: WHERE ARE THEY NOW? is a three-part special that provides updates on some former toddlers and their controversial, over-the-top parents from TODDLERS & TIARAS. Nearly 12 years earlier, the original series debuted with young pageant queens breaking through with their beauty performances and family drama. Now, this WHERE ARE THEY NOW? series goes behind the glitter curtain to see who can still perform old dance routines and squeeze into their sparkle-studded ensembles from yesteryear. Plus, the series counts down the most outrageous tactics pageant parents employed to help their daughters shine in front of the judges -- everything from questionable costume choices to sugar packet energy pick-me-ups. TODDLERS & TIARAS: WHERE ARE THEY NOW? debuted on Thursday, January 21, 2021 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, as discovery+ released all three installments.

The former toddlers featured on in the three-part special include:

Eden Wood and mom Mickie: The face of child beauty pageants, Eden was one of the biggest winners in child pageant history, and mom Mickie turned her pageant fame into movie roles. Now she toggles between her mom's dreams of stardom and pursuing her other passions, including gaming.

Alycesaundra and Giavanna Lyerly ("The Tiara Twins") and mom Kelly: The Tiara Twins were infamous for their over-the-top gowns, custom tour bus, bodyguard and their outspoken mom. While the twins still love the glamour of pageant life, they've grown into new hobbies including knives and crossbows.

Ava Perez and dad David: Ava was barely old enough to know what pageants were back in the day, but her costume designing, routine choreographing, hair and makeup expert dad David was in love with the pageant life. While Ava has moved on to other interests these days, her dad has doubled-down on his costume designing.

Isabella "Bella" Barrett and mom Susanna: Bella was a sass-talking toddler with a fierce coach of a mom. Now, thanks to her jewelry line, Bella is a self-described self-made young millionaire and mom Susanna is the Momma-preneur.

Madison "Tootie" Berg and mom Stacy: Madison was known by her pageant alter ego, "Tootie," and for treating her mother as her assistant. Now in college, Tootie is all grown up but her mom Stacy still waits on her hand and foot.

Danielle Kirby and mom Tedi: Danielle was a perfectionist who bursted with confidence when she was a child, but also a notoriously sore loser when the judges didn't reward her. These days, she's still competing in pageants, but is she still as obsessed with winning?

Liana Pirraglia and mom Mary: Liana was once the underdog of the pageant world. Now in college, Liana is pursuing life as a performer - will she be the star her thrift store-shopping mom always knew she'd be?

Elizabeth, Makayla and Savanna Sprinkle ("The Sprinkle Sisters") and mom Dana: The triple threat sisters who took over the pageant world were known for their big hair and southern charm. Today, they are navigating marriages, college, and chicken pageants - but they are still as glam as ever!

The series made its linear television debut on Saturday, November 13, 2021 from 8-11pm ET/PT, as TLC aired all three episodes back to back.
