Now it all makes sense.
Unfortunately, for the most tragic of reasons, Tori Roloff’s silence of late makes total and complete sense.
As you may have heard about, Audrey and Jeremy Roloff revealed a couple weeks ago that they’re expecting their th…
Amy Roloff has found the man of her dreams.
But might planning for her second marriage be the stuff of nightmares for this mother of four?
On Tuesday night’s brand new episode of Little People, Big World, all eyes were on Amy, her fiance Chris Ma…
Little People, Big World kicked off its 22nd season just a few weeks ago.
Yes, this show has been on the air for 22 seasons.
It’s an impressive achievement, as interest in Matt Roloff, Amy Roloff and their children doesn’t seem to be waning, not …
The countdown has begun until Amy Roloff marries Chris Marek.
They have the wedding date.
After much debate, they even agreed upon a venue.
But first, Amy and Chris are off on a roadtrip for a very sweet reason.
On Friday, June 4, Amy Roloff took to her Instagram Stories.
As she has done many times in the past, she shared a glimpse of her road trip.
Amy and Chris have enjoyed numerous road trips over the years, and Amy loves to document them for her fans.
When Amy and Chris took a pit stop, Amy shed some light on the context of the excursion.
“We’re on our way to Idaho,” she revealed.
Amy shared that they were traveling “to see some of Chris’ family.”
“His niece is graduating,” Amy added.
June is a big month for high school graduations.
“So how fun is that?” Amy asked, “because road trips are fun.”
“I hope y’all have a great weekend,” Amy expressed.
She explained her well-wishes “cause I might not have cell service.”
Amy then invited her countless fans and followers to “Have a good time!”
Amy recently dropped some fresh new wedding details in a post shared just a few days before the trip.
“Wow! It’s June already. About 89 days til our BIG – the wedding,” she remarked.
“Time is flying by,” Amy added. “We’re getting excited about it. Woohoo!”
On this season of Little People, Big World, we saw Matt push an idea for his ex-wife’s wedding.
He suggested that Amy and Chris, in light of many factors including COVID-19, hold the wedding on Roloff Farms.
The 110 acre property could make a picturesque and very convenient wedding venue.
However, for some very understandable reasons, Amy was deeply reluctant at first.
The Farm is where she and Matt lived as husband and wife for many years.
It’s where they raised their kids.
It’s also where Amy and Matt lived separately as former spouses for quite a few years.
Before that, it’s the place where Matt met, fell in love with, and presumably cheated with Caryn Chandler.
So yes, that is an emotionally complicated location.
Amy’s reluctance was extremely understandable.
However, it did not last forever.
That season was filmed many months before Amy made her final decision.
Ultimately, she and Chris chose to accept Matt’s offer.
Amy and Caryn do not like each other, but even they called a truce.
Everyone is onboard to make this wedding happen.
“Amy and Chris are now planning to have the wedding at the farm,” an insider previously revealed.
“And,” the source added, “it will be in three months.”
The insider characterized that “things are coming together.”
“It was Matt’s idea initially,” the source shared at the time.
“And,” the insider added, “Caryn went along with it.”
The source explained that Caryn agreed “because they are trying to keep things cordial between them all.”
“The reason Amy didn’t want to have it at the farm at first is because of the emotional history there,” the insider explained.
Obviously.
“And,” the source detailed, “she didn’t know if everyone was on the same page yet.”
“Caryn isn’t a huge fan of Amy,” the insider admitted.
“She feels they are more acquaintances than friends,” the source characterized.
“But,” the insider reasoned, “she just wants Matt and the family to be happy and for everyone to move on.”

The Roloffs, as you almost definitely know at this point, star on the TLC reality show Little People, Big World.
However, the network may soon need to change this title.
For what reason?
Because the popular family is exclusively focused on just…
Little People, Big World presented a major problem for a main cast member this week.
On Tuesday’s episode of the TLC hit, Amy Roloff debated whether or not to accept her ex-husband’s offer to totally buy her out of the family farm, which she moved …
Matt Roloff has spoken out for the first time about his son’s accusations of sexual assault against a former Little People, Big World producer.
But the father of four may regret having done so right about now.
First, a refresher for those who may…
As it turns out, Zach Roloff was serious last year.
On a previous Little People, Big World episodes, which aired in October 2020, the father of two told his parents that he was open to taking over his family’s farm in Oregon.
Mother Amy was taken…
This week, the trailer for Little People, Big World dropped full of teases of the things to come.
There is a lot of excitement in the family’s future, but some of the subjects were serious.
Lilah’s eyesight problems pale beside Jackson’s legs beginning to bow, as it’s called.
Tori and Zach spoke about how their precious little son is going to need surgery.
Amy Roloff’s upcoming wedding and financial questions about the farm’s future were overshadowed in the trailer.
Zach and Tori have a lot on their minds as parents.
Lilah and Jackson are both grappling with medical issues.
Both children have dwarfism, like their father and their paternal grandparents.
But part of the point of the show is letting viewers see how in many ways, they are like able-bodied children.
At one point in the trailer, we see Lilah vigorously kicking in the water as she learns how to swim.
However, Tori shares with viewers that Lilah is at times cross-eyed.
Lilah needs glasses, at the very least.
There is also the distinct possibility of eye surgery in her future.
Whatever comes in Lilah’s future, her parents are of course there for her.
Surgery is no joke, especially when the patient in question is a disabled child.
But Tori and Zach will put their children’s best interests first, as they always have.
Lilah’s brother, Jackson, is eager to help with his baby sister.
Unfortunately, he has his own medical problems with which to contend.
As Tori notes on the trailer, Jackson’s legs have begun to bow.
Congenital genu varum is commonly referred to as bowlegs.
This is a condition when one’s legs curve in such a way that the knees are far apart even when ankles are together.
Bowlegs can have various causes, but the bone growth disorder achondroplasia is the culprit in this case.
Achondroplasia is the form of dwarfism that Jackson, Lilah, Zach, and Amy Roloff all share.
(Matt has a less common form, diastrophic dysplasia)
It is very likely that Jackson will require surgery to correct his bone abnormality.
In some cases, special shoes or casts or (leg) braces can be used to address the issue.
However, that is because bowlegs can have numerous causes that are not achondroplasia.
It is likely that without medical intervention, Jackson’s legs will continue to grow in this debilitating way.
Surgery, the risks involved, and the process of a long and painful recovery from surgery are not fun.
This becomes even worse when the patient is a child.
Though it is true that children generally heal more quickly, they suffer more acutely and recovery feels longer due to their limited life experience.
Zach and Tori know that they are going to hear opinions from fans no matter what happens.
Some of those will be expressions of support. Others will parent-shame or condemn them.
But they are resolved to do what is best for their children.
Surgery is expensive, so it is a very good thing that the Roloffs are an affluent family with a still-strong reality career.
It can take a lot of money to get disabled children the accommodations and healthcare that they need.
Perhaps one day our society will be just enough to ensure that no child needs to be “born lucky” to get these things.
Some major changes are on the way for the Roloffs.
In our very first look at a new season of Little People, Big World, we get a sneak peek at how Amy Roloff, Matt Roloff and their kids are adjusting to life amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
And also how certain members of this popular family are adjusting to their new living situation.
For instance?
These episodes were filmed in early 2020, shortly after Amy moved off the farm in Oregon and into herr own place.
She’s tried to make it also feel like home to fiance Chris Marek, but he isn’t feeling very wanted in this sneak peek.
“It kind of irritates me that I go to the trouble of clearing out a space and I come back and you’ve put stuff in it,” Chris tells her in one scene. “You’re not creating space for me.”
Amy admitted at the time that it was taking her awhile feel comfortable in her own house, after so many decades on the farm.
In more positive news for the couple, however, they’ll also be planning their wedding day this season — with Amy looking gorgeous in the dresses she finds while shopping.
Would they actually get married on the farm, however, even with Matt as the majority owner?
While touring the property one day, Marek laments how Amy seems “sandwiched between the old husband and the new husband,” making a pretty stunning confessional in the process to the camera.
“It seems like Chris and Matt are becoming buddies,” Amy says to viewers later on. “Like, really?”
Elsewhere, Matt Roloff is going strong with his girlfriend, Caryn Chandler, who is facing questions about her intentions when it comes to the romance.
“I think the saddest thing that I deal with with Matt is that people think that I’m with him because, ‘Oh, she must be a gold-digger,'” Caryn admits to Tori Roloff. “And it’s like, why do you have to think that?”
It’s true.
Random trolls on the Internet have been very mean to Chandler over the years.
“I’m married to the guy that owns a pumpkin patch. How could I not be into it?” Caryn says in a confessional while sitting next to Matt.
Uhhh, what?
“I’m not married, did I say married?” she corrects herself, as Matt confirms with a laugh: “Yeah, you did.”
To be fair, these two will at least be engaged very soon.
As for tension between the former spouses?
Although it’s been five years since Matt and Amy divorced, the time has finally arrived for them to divide assets pertaining to the family farm.
“Did you hear my dad’s going to buy my mom out?” Zach says to wife Tori while on a walk with their two children.
Amy, for her part, awkardly had not heard this.
“I always knew that in the end, he would want it all,” she tells the cameras.
When it comes to Zach and Tori?
The forrmer is contemplating co-owning and running the aforementioned farm with his dad… while the couple raises their son and daughter, who are both facing the possibility of needing surgery.
“Lyla is going to the eye doctor,” Tori says.
“Every once in a while she’d be cross-eyed, especially when looking far away. She needs glasses or the possibility of surgery.”
And “Jackson’s legs are starting to bow,” Zach explains to viewers… as Tori is seen telling someone: “He will probably need surgery.”
The new season will also feature Tori and Zach breaking their pregnancy news to the family — an exciting moment that was filmed before Tori shared in March that she had suffered a miscarriage.
Simply heartbreaking.
“I’ve honestly never felt loss like I did in that moment,” Tori wrote on Instagram at the time.
“I’ve never felt so sad, angry, and scared in a single moment. I had no symptoms of losing [our] sweet angel baby and nothing could have prepared me for hearing our sweet baby was gone.”
Little People, Big World premieres May 11 at 9/8c on TLC.
Family feuds?
What family feuds?!?
Over this past weekend, much to the extreme surprise of many Little People, Big World fans around the globe, Matt Roloff apparently kicked off a tradition that he hopes will take place every year.
And which he…
Even though Little People, Big World filming is underway, there are still questions about the family’s future.
The Roloffs have been on television for a long time. They’ve had changes, with more to come.
The future of the farm has never been set in stone, but now, the stakes feel especially high.
Family patriarch Matt could retire very soon. When he does, what becomes of Roloff Farms?
An inside source spoke to The Sun about everyone’s favorite place to get pumpkins.
According to the insider, Matt’s kids don’t have any issues with being off of the farm right now and are happy to live their lives.
That said, at least some of them are considering whether to return and take charge one day.
See, as a lot of you already know, Matt and his girlfriend, Caryn Chandler, are a serious couple.
They’ve been together since … we could generously say since Matt’s divorce from Amy.
One day soon, the two will devote their time to each other instead of to the farm.
“Matt and Caryn want to retire soon,” the source tells the celebrity gossip outlet.
The insider adds that this will happen “probably by the end of 2022.”
The source explains that “they think it’s time after years of hard work.”
“They want to live between Arizona where they have a house and Oregon,” the insider details.
The source adds that they want to live this way “while also building their dream home together.”
So when that day comes – very soon, per the report – what will happen to the farm?
“Zach is interested in taking over,” the insider says of Matt’s son and fellow co-star, a father of two himself.
According to the source, “he wants to keep money coming in for the family.”
“And,” the insider describes, “he enjoys it.”
“He has always helped with pumpkin season,” the source notes of Zach and the farm’s signature crop.
With that in mind, it seems like a natural fit for him to be involved with the farm’s future.
And Zach isn’t the only member of the Roloff family who could be involved.
“Jeremy is okay with this,” the insider describes, referring to Zach’s brother, who is married to Audrey Roloff with two kids of his own.
“But also desperately wants to be [a part] of the business,” the source adds.
According to the insider, “there are discussions he could end up co-owning the farm with Zach moving forward.”
This is when we start to hear the alleged private thoughts of a member of the family.
“Secretly Matt would rather Jeremy be involved,” the source claims.
The insider explains that Matt isn’t playing favorites, and only wants this “because he gets the business a little more.”
In the past, Matt has said that he was not quite ready for retirement, although things may be different now.
It goes without saying that 2020 was a difficult year in more ways than one.
With this in mind, Matt is prepared to have these important conversations with his family.
Matt said nearly as much on Instagram recently as he addressed his followers.
“The ultimate scenario for me is that the twins would take over the farm and work together,” the grandfather expressed at the time.
“But,” Matt acknowledged, “nobody likes to run that pumpkin patch like I do.”
Jeremy has shown public interest in assuming the mantle, expressing a “passion for land.”
Meanwhile, Zach has not publicly addressed the issue one way or the other.
We are sure that both men would consider how their respective wives might feel about all of the changes that this might bring.
In 2020, in light of the pandemic, Matt had to take out a $205,913 loan under the Paycheck Protection Plan.
This money then went to the employees of Roloff Farms – 28 in number.
It’s not enough to simply keep the farm afloat — employees need to be fed and housed during a crisis, and that’s what PPP loans are for.
Tori Roloff is putting on a brave face for the cameras in a new set of social media photos.
The Little People, Big World star opened up to fans just under two weeks about her recent miscarriage, admitting to feelings of fear, sadness and anger in t…
