In a shocking revelation during the season 25 premiere of “Little People Big World,” Matt Roloff announced his decision to leave the family farm to his ex-wife, Amy Roloff, rather than his fiancée, Karen Chandler, or their children. This news left Amy visibly surprised.
In a sneak preview clip released on February 19, Matt, 62, and Karen, 56, discussed this decision with Amy, 61, and her husband, Chris Marek. Matt explained that leaving the farm to Amy would simplify matters, given the family’s complex dynamics. Despite the surprise, Karen supported the decision, expressing no interest in managing the farm after Matt’s passing.
The announcement stirred mixed reactions from fans. Some viewers agreed that Amy, who helped build the farm, deserved it, while others argued that Matt should place the farm in a trust for their children and grandchildren. After selling her 32 acres to Matt for $975,000 following their 2016 divorce, some questioned Amy’s further involvement.
Zach Roloff and his wife, Tori, had shown interest in purchasing the farm during Season 22 but later changed their minds due to disagreements with Matt. Currently, only their youngest son, Jacob, works on the farm, while Zach and Tori have moved to Washington and are not expected to return to the show.
Despite their divorce, Matt and Amy occasionally come together for family events. They recently collaborated for a fundraising event on the farm, showcasing their ability to work together for a good cause. Amy’s recent trip to Yellowstone and subsequent social media activity further highlight the evolving dynamics of the Roloff family.
