Have any Roloff family members had major life changes (divorce, marriage, moves) since 2020?
Executive summary
Since 2020 multiple Roloff family members have experienced major life changes: Jeremy added children (Bode born Jan. 8, 2020; Radley in 2021) and has grown his family to four kids by 2024 reporting [1]; Jacob married Isabel and has publicly discussed leaving and later returning to Oregon/farm life and allegations about a producer (reported in 2020) [2]. Matt Roloff’s relationships and the future of Roloff Farms have been a recurring flashpoint — he listed parts of the farm for sale and later engaged to Caryn Chandler in 2023 before reporting shows their engagement ended in July 2025 [2] [3].
1. Family growth and marriages: the next generation expands
The Roloffs’ younger generation has steadily expanded since 2020: Jeremy and Audrey’s family grew with son Bode James born Jan. 8, 2020 and another son, Radley Knight, arriving in 2021; People’s profile and family summaries track Ember, Bode and Radley among Jeremy’s children [1]. Jacob and Isabel’s 2018 wedding remains a touchstone for the family, and outlets note Jacob’s later life choices that included moving away from and then back toward Oregon and the family farm [2].
2. Divorce, remarriage and relationships: long-running fractures and new unions
Matt and Amy’s 2015 split remains relevant in coverage of later developments; Matt’s romantic life after the divorce — especially his relationship with Caryn Chandler, engagement in 2023 and the reported end of that engagement in July 2025 — is prominent in recent reporting and is tied to public scrutiny around motives and publicity [2] [3] [4]. Sources present this as a long arc: a high-profile past divorce followed by new partnerships that feed into the family narrative [2].
3. Moves and living arrangements: who’s on the farm now?
Ownership and residency at Roloff Farms have driven major family conflict and movement. Jacob publicly addressed misconceptions about his ownership and clarified he doesn’t own the farm; reporting says Matt still retained ownership while some parts were listed for sale, and Matt placed portions of the property on the market starting in 2022 [5] [6]. Multiple accounts note that children have left filming or moved residence off the farm at different times — Jeremy and others exited the show and pursued lives away from daily filming [7] [8].
4. Public disputes over Roloff Farms: property sales, short‑term rentals and family tensions
Media coverage ties several major life changes to the farm’s fate: Matt listing 16+ acres and lowering prices (May 2022 price listing, later reductions), renting out the main house and discussions about selling land have generated tension with his ex-wife Amy and their children, who had hoped the farm would remain a family legacy [6] [5] [9]. Sources frame these as business decisions with profound personal consequences for the family’s relationships [6] [5].
5. Departures from TV and privacy choices: stepping back since 2020
Several Roloff family members have reduced or ended their participation in Little People, Big World since 2020. Jacob described leaving the show as a young adult and later returned to Oregon at times; Jeremy and Molly also stepped back from full-time series involvement, reshaping who appears on camera and where they live [2] [8]. Available sources do not state a definitive date for each member’s move off the farm; reporting focuses on broader exits and lifestyle shifts [2] [8].
6. Allegations and personal reckonings that influenced life choices
Jacob’s December 2020 disclosure that he had been molested by a former producer has been treated in coverage as a catalyst for his distancing from the show and changes in his life trajectory [2]. Reporting ties that revelation to his broader decision-making about participation in reality TV and his personal moves [2].
7. How coverage frames motives and agendas
Sources present competing interpretations: some outlets emphasize business pragmatism (Matt’s property listings and short‑term rentals), others highlight family betrayal and emotional fallout (Amy and children’s reactions) [6] [5]. Entertainment coverage sometimes suggests publicity motives in relationship reporting (rumors around Matt and Caryn), while other pieces treat those reports as straightforward updates [4] [2]. Readers should note outlets vary in tone and implied agendas [4] [6].
Limitations and gaps: available sources document many of the major changes (births, farm sales/listings, relationship status changes through July 2025, and departures from the show) but do not provide a complete, date-by-date catalogue of every move or private relocation for each family member; specific current residences for some members are not detailed in the cited reporting (not found in current reporting).
