NEED TO KNOW
The Roloffs have been one of reality television’s favorite families since Little People, Big World premiered nearly 20 years ago in 2006.
Throughout its tenure, the TLC series has focused on Matt Roloff, Amy Roloff and their children Zach Roloff, Jeremy Roloff, Molly Roloff and Jacob Roloff. The show originally featured the entire family living on the Roloff Farms in Oregon. Matt has diastrophic dysplasia, a rare form of dwarfism, while Amy and Zach have achondroplasia (the most common form of dwarfism). Jeremy, Molly and Jacob are of average size.
Over the decades, the LPBW stars have experienced farm and family drama on and off camera. Viewers have watched the Roloff children grow up and start their own families. Notably, one by one, each of them said goodbye to the cameras. Most recently, in February 2024, Zach and his wife Tori announced that they would be leaving the series after season 25.
In May 2016, Matt and Amy divorced after 27 years of marriage, prompting changes around the farm grounds, including the introduction of Caryn Chandler and Amy’s now-husband, Chris Marek. On July 22, Matt announced that he and his fiancée, Caryn had split, ending their engagement.
So where is the Roloff family now? Here’s everything to know about the stars of Little People, Big World and what they’re doing today.

Matt was born on Oct. 7, 1961, in San Francisco. He has diastrophic dysplasia, a rare form of dwarfism characterized by short limbs and orthopedic problems that required “countless surgeries” as a child, according to Matt’s LinkedIn. He designed and sold computer systems before buying Roloff Farms in the 1990s.
Beyond sharing a starring role on LPBW, Matt and his ex-wife Amy also share twins Zach and Jeremy, daughter Molly and son Jacob. The former couple rose to fame on their show alongside their four children when it premiered in 2006. Nearly 10 years later, in 2015, Matt and Amy filed for divorce.
“We are proud of what we have accomplished together, including raising four wonderful children who have grown to become remarkable adults and building our strong and ongoing successful businesses,” the pair said in a statement to PEOPLE at the time.
They continued, “Our kids and our ever growing family, and the love and support we have for them, will be our priority. We will continue to work together side by side in the daily responsibilities for our many current ventures.”
Matt started dating Caryn Chandler, a former employee at Roloff Farms, in 2017. Four years later, in an episode of LPBW, they revealed they were moving in together.
In April 2023, Matt announced his engagement to Chandler. “After six wonderful years together, I asked Caryn to marry me and she said yes!” he told PEOPLE. “Our plan is to enjoy our engagement and we are looking forward to a simple but elegant wedding in 2024.”

After a brief period when Matt listed part of the 109-acre Roloff Farms for sale in May 2022, the farmer chose instead to transform it into a short-term rental. “I have decided to pull the small farm off the open market and partner with @itrip_vacations and open the @rolofffarms to everyone and anyone who wants to spend a few nights in the Roloff family home,” Matt said.
More recently, in July 2025, Matt announced that he and Chandler had ended their engagement.
“Hi everyone, I have some tough news to share,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “Caryn and I have decided to part ways & end our engagement. Life’s a continued journey and this is the right step for us at this time.”
“We remain amicable and will always appreciate the many wonderful memories we have shared,” Matt continued. “Your support means the World to me and I’m committed to moving forward with positivity and trust in the path ahead. Much love to all.”
He is also a children’s book author and a motivational speaker.
Amy Roloff

Amy was born on Sept. 17, 1962 (the same day as her daughter Molly) in Michigan. She attended Central Michigan University and graduated in 1985, according to her LinkedIn profile.
The reality star shares twins Zach and Jeremy, daughter Molly and son Jacob with her ex-husband Matt. The former couple were married from 1987 to 2016.
“We thought we’d grow old together on this farm, but plans changed,” Amy said in a March 2020 episode of Little People, Big World. “Right now, Matt and I are doing the best we can when it comes to family things. It’s not easy, but I know both Matt and I are determined to make it work well post-divorce because this is family.”
Amy Roloff Instagram
About five years later, Amy married Chris Marek on Aug. 28, 2021, at Roloff Farms.
“It was just all so right and good,” she told PEOPLE after their nuptials. “I am just elated. I’m happy. I’m thrilled that I have found someone to spend the rest of my days with.”
“I think what I’m looking forward to the most is just really dreaming together,” she continued. “We’re all in now, so it’s just solidifying the relationship, where we live.”
Beyond her work on TV, Amy is also the founder and CEO of Amy Roloff Enterprises, which includes her writing several books, like 2019’s A Little Me, and several published recipes in Amy Roloff’s Little Kitchen. Additionally, Amy has been a motivational speaker.

Matt and Amy welcomed Zach on May 10, 1990, along with his twin brother Jeremy. He was born in Oregon, where he now lives with his wife and kids.
Until season 25, Zach was the only one of his siblings who was still regularly featured on Little People, Big World. He married his wife, Tori Roloff, on the family farm in July 2015 with his brother Jeremy as his best man.
The pair have three children: sons Jackson Kyle and Josiah Luke and daughter Lilah Ray. Like their dad, they were born with achondroplasia, while Tori is of average height.
The LPBW cameras captured Zach and Tori navigating parenthood, including challenging moments.

Despite occasional tense moments, the couple have focused on being real on-screen and sharing all parts of their relationship, including how they get everything done with three small children.
“I would say Zach takes care of the outside of the house and I take care of the inside of the house,” Tori said in a confessional. “I do breakfast, feed the kids, get Jackson ready for school, take him to school. Then come home and Siah goes down for his first nap and then it’s just me and Lilah, and we play. He wakes up, we do lunch.”
In February 2024, Zach and Tori announced that they were leaving the show on an episode of their Raising Heights podcast.
“I think the chapter has closed regardless of us being asked back or not. We’ve made it pretty clear we’re done with that chapter for multiple reasons,” Zach said at the time. “But because we’ve made that pretty clear, they haven’t asked us back, technically, This last cycle was rough, between the family, the farm deal and we are done with it.”

Jeremy was born to Matt and Amy in Oregon on May 10, 1990, along with his twin brother Zach. He spent 14 years, 17 seasons and over 300 episodes on LPBW before departing the series in 2018.
The reality star began his college career at Portland Community College, according to his LinkedIn, and graduated from the Brooks Institute in 2014. Jeremy has worked as a camera operator for weddings and as a production assistant. Like his parents and Zach, he is an entrepreneur and has been president of The Roloff Company since August 2019.
Jeremy married Audrey Mirabella Roloff on Sept. 20, 2014, on the family farm, six months after getting engaged.
The pair share four children: daughters Ember Jean and Mirabella May, and sons Bode James and Radley Knight. They often share photos of their family on Instagram.

Now, off the show, he and his wife Audrey own Beating 50 Percent, which includes a collection of journals and guides for married couples. They also released a book in 2018 along the same vein called A Love Letter Life: Pursue Creatively, Date Intentionally, Love Faithfully.
At the time, Jeremy told PEOPLE, “We believe everyone has a unique love story and we want people to be super stoked to press into their own love story. We want readers to prepare more for their marriage than their wedding [day].”
He continued, “I think social media can paint facades, so [Audrey and I] hope that people will walk away [from the book] knowing that we aren’t perfect, our [dating] relationship wasn’t perfect. We learned from our struggles and we came out stronger on the other side.”
The couple also have a newsletter and started renting out the Spring River Cabin in 2023.

Amy and Matt welcomed Molly on Sept. 17, 1993, in Oregon. She is of average height and is Matt and Amy’s only daughter.
Molly has distanced herself from the spotlight since leaving for college at Whitworth University in Spokane, Wash., where she graduated with a degree in accounting and Spanish language and literature, according to her LinkedIn.
The Roloffs’ only daughter worked for the accounting firm Moss Adams for over four years and started as a senior accountant for Nordstrom in June 2021.

In August 2017, Molly married Joel Silvius at one of her favorite spots on the family farm.
“We feel blessed to have been able to celebrate our marriage surrounded by so many people we love,” the couple told PEOPLE.
Her Instagram account is private as she seems to prefer being out of the spotlight since leaving Little People, Big World.
Jacob Roloff
Jacob Roloff Instagram
The youngest child of Matt and Amy, Jacob, was born in Oregon on Jan. 17, 1997. He is a photographer and a writer, based on his Rock and Roloff website. Jacob also runs Helvetia Gardens, which is dedicated to “Growing organic cannabis and vegetables in historic Helvetia, Oregon,” according to their Instagram bio.
He left LPBW in 2016, explaining why in a July Instagram post. “I get comments on here all the time about how people ‘miss me on the show’ or telling me I should ‘do a few more episodes’ with the family; I’m posting this to say that that will never happen,” he wrote. “I am with my family and I love them I’m just here to say you’ll never see that from me on TV again.”
Jacob also referenced his time on the show in a post on X in May 2022. “People don’t realize I was paid roughly $6/hr to be filmed for my whole childhood,” he wrote. “I’m still called rich derisively lol. I wish I went scorched earth but I value family, I wish I kept filming but I value my principles and my soul. Life is complicated.”
Jacob married his wife Isabel in September 2019, after getting engaged in Iceland in December 2017.
They later welcomed their son, Mateo Tomás. The proud dad announced the baby news in a post on X in December 2021. “My wife is a superhero, my son is an angel and all nurses are saints. Goodnight,” he wrote.
Jacob Roloff Instagram
In December 2020, Jacob opened up more about his experience on LPBW and said that he was molested by Chris Cardamone, a former producer on the show, from 2007 to 2010.
“It is often much easier to think about things than it is to talk about them, and so this disclosure has been delayed, but through that delay I have found the fortitude and words,” Jacob wrote on Instagram at the time. “As a child, after what I realize now was a long grooming process, I was molested by an executive field producer for ‘Little People Big World,’ Chris Cardamone.”
“I choose to disclose it now as it remains a traumatic memory that needs to be exorcised of any further power over my development,” Jacob continued in his post. “I am certain that this is a positive moment for me, and another step toward a brighter future.”
Cardamone did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment at the time, while TLC told PEOPLE in a statement, “TLC was just informed about an alleged encounter that occurred years ago involving a third party connected to the production of Little People, Big World. We are saddened and troubled by this very serious allegation, and TLC will work cooperatively with the authorities.”
After Jacob came forward with his story of sexual abuse, Amy replied in the comments, “I love you forever and always Jacob. Im proud of you. Now you don’t have to feel alone and carry this around anymore.”
