CARYN! YOU DESTROYED MY FAMILY! Matt Roloff FORCED to Sell Roloff Farm โ The Truth EXPOSED! ๐ฑ๐ฅ
๐ The Heartbreak of Roloff Farms: Legacy, Love, and the Family Fracture
The narrative surrounding Roloff Farms, the iconic setting of TLC’s Little People, Big World, is one of enduring family dream and devastating division. What began as a symbol of unity for Matt and Amy Roloff and their four childrenโZach, Jeremy, Molly, and Jacobโbecame the epicenter of a painful family feud following their 2016 divorce.
The Controversial Romance: Matt and Caryn Chandler
A major point of contention and a perceived catalyst for the family’s fracturing was Matt Roloff’s relationship with Caryn Chandler, a longtime Roloff Farms employee and manager.
-
The Accusations: Amy Roloff’s memoir hinted at an emotional betrayal, suggesting Matt and Caryn’s relationship began while Amy and Matt were still married, a claim both Matt and Caryn have denied, stating their romance began after the divorce was finalized in 2016.
-
The Optics: The swiftness with which Matt and Caryn went public (in 2017) after the divorce was finalized in 2016 fueled public speculation and hurt Amy deeply, who viewed Caryn as a trusted figure in their family circle.
-
A Family Divide: Fans and even some family members have accused Caryn of having too much influence over Matt’s business decisions, particularly regarding the farm, viewing her as a factor that strained the relationships between Matt and his twin sons.
The Farm Sale: A Dream Denied
The greatest source of the family’s division stemmed from the failed transfer of ownership for portions of the farm to Matt’s children. Both twins, Zach and Jeremy, had expressed interest in purchasing land to continue the legacy.
-
The Failed Negotiations: Matt put a 16-acre portion of the property, including the iconic farmhouse, up for sale publicly after negotiations with his sons fell apart. Zach, who made a competitive offer based on what Matt had bought Amy’s share for, was allegedly offered the land at a price he felt was unrealistic (reportedly closer to the public market price of $4 million, later reduced).
-
The Betrayal: Zach and his wife, Tori, felt that Matt prioritized profit over legacy and family, which led to a profound breakdown in trust. They subsequently moved their family away from the area, a move that played out on the show and symbolized the “end of an era.”
-
Caryn’s Role: While Matt has defended Caryn, fans and critics largely believe her involvement in the negotiations and her influence over Matt’s desire for a new, Arizona-based life contributed to the high asking price and the emotional standoff.
A Recent Twist: The Split and the Will
In a surprising turn of events, Matt Roloff and Caryn Chandler ended their engagement and long-term relationship in July 2025 after eight years together. The split, which came over a year after they got engaged, was framed by Matt as mutual, though sources suggest Caryn initiated the breakup due to unresolved family issues and disagreements over certain life choices (like Matt building a new home on the farm). Matt has since sold the Arizona house he bought for their retirement.
Furthermore, Matt has made a surprising change to his will: he has announced he intends to leave the remaining portion of Roloff Farms to his ex-wife, Amy, upon his death. This decision, which Caryn reportedly encouraged to prove she wasn’t a “gold digger” and to ensure the land went back to the original family, has further complicated the family dynamic.
Current Status of Roloff Farms:
-
A 16-acre portion of the property, including the old farmhouse, was listed for sale publicly (initially for $4 million, later reduced to $2,895,000).
-
Matt did not sell the entire property and retained the majority of the land, where he built a new home for himself (originally intended to be shared with Caryn).
-
The youngest son, Jacob Roloff, now works and lives on the remaining farm property with his family.
