Zach Roloff admits his relationship with his father, Matt Roloff, is currently “non-existent” and denies withholding his children amid their feud. In a recent podcast episode, Zach, 34, revealed that his relationship with the Roloff family patriarch, 62, has not improved despite attempts to mend fences. The tension stems from disagreements over family matters and the future of Roloff Farms.

Zach explained that filming for ‘Little People Big World’ often reopens old wounds, as episodes aired months after filming revive past conflicts. His wife, Tori, 33, clarified that most viewers don’t realize episodes are usually filmed a year before airing, which means the tense moments they experience are relived for a second time. Despite the dust settling on their differences, nothing has been fixed, and social media exacerbates these tensions, making it harder to move forward.

The rift intensified when Matt listed a portion of Roloff Farms for sale, a part Zach had hoped to take over. This decision felt like a betrayal to Zach, who had always believed he would one day help run the farm. The father-son duo has also clashed over family relations and Matt’s engagement, which have unfolded in front of TLC cameras.

Tori addressed misconceptions that they were withholding their children from Matt, attributing such claims to internet drama. She emphasized the complexities of adult and family relationships, acknowledging that both sides could have handled things better. Zach confessed that his biggest issue was when people outside the feud encouraged him to reconcile with his father, but he felt it was time to step away.

Despite the ongoing issues, Zach and Tori have moved to Battleground, Washington, focusing on their family and future projects away from Roloff Farms. Zach mentioned regrets about airing family disputes on social media and emphasized the need to move on and do their best for their children. Although they have made some progress in their relationship, things will never be the same between them.

The start of season 25 of ‘Little People Big World’ in February 2024 showed that tensions remain high. Matt lamented the time he’s missing with his grandchildren, knowing it’s precious time he’ll never get back. The situation with Matt feeling cut off from his grandkids may not last forever, but for now, the family must live with the choices they’ve made. Zach and Tori continue to be part of the show, but their focus is on building a new life for themselves and their children away from the farm.
