Fans of Little People Big World would like to know why each of the Roloff siblings, with the exception of Zach Roloff, decided to leave the family show behind for greener pastures.
The TLC show first aired as a tasteful look at a family farm in Oregon. Amy and Matt Roloff were parents to twins Jeremy and Zach, daughter Molly, and son Jacob. Fans watched as the kids turned into teenagers, went off to college, and started their own lives. Since then, a lot has changed on the farm. However, there is always a pumpkin season to look forward to.
Currently, Zach is the only child still appearing on the show with his wife Tori and two children, Jackson and Lilah. Zach is thinking about taking over the family farm and moving to the big house. Fans will recall this was always a dream of Jeremy’s, but it feels as if some dynamic has shifted among the Roloff siblings. While one out of four children is still a major part of the show, fans want to know what happened to the rest of them. See Zach's son Jackson below:
Jeremy still lives in Bend, Oregon but does not appear on the show. The father of two announced in 2018 that he would not be returning to Little People Big World. Evidently, he and his wife Audrey had other plans. In an Instagram post, he wrote, "A year ago I made the decision that this season would be our last. It has been an amazing run, and I can’t say thank you enough to all of you who have watched and supported us along the ride." Let’s be honest, though... he got a little boring after he married.
Molly was the quieter one of the siblings and is now married and living in Washington with her husband. She left the series when she started to attend college and never looked back. However, Molly never formally quit the show and still makes sporadic appearances for weddings and birthdays.
The youngest, Jacob, is over reality TV and has spoken openly about behind-the-scenes issues. Jacob has not been on the show since 2014 and is now married. His last big moment on the show was when he almost died via trebuchet beheading. In 2016, he shared an Instagram post, saying that he didn’t like how producers gave the family talking points. In 2020, @jacobroloff45 dropped a bombshell on his Instagram, writing, “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.” He is currently traveling around the US in his red van.
The show has done well without the other siblings, but TLC fans remember a time when the whole family got together and had some crazy adventures. Now, Amy has moved off the farm and divorced Matt. Through the turmoil, fans hope that the show keeps going.
Little People Big World airs Tuesday at 9 pm EST on TLC
