[PAINFUL TRUTH REVEALED] Zach Roloff Opens Up on Estrangement & Tense Family Rift After Years of Silent Pain 🥀

Behind the Scenes at Roloff Farms: Zach Roloff Opens Up About Family Struggles and Hope for Healing

While Little People, Big World may no longer spotlight the drama at Roloff Farms, real-life tensions continue to ripple beneath the surface. In a heartfelt and revealing podcast episode, Zach Roloff and his wife Tori pulled back the curtain on the current state of their family dynamics in 2025. Zach admitted that returning to the family farm—once a symbol of home and legacy—now stirs up pain rather than nostalgia. “I was really hoping the farm would sell quickly,” he confessed, revealing that their son Mateo’s birthday was the last time they visited the property. Tori echoed his feelings, describing the farm as no longer feeling “happy or welcoming.”

More than just land has caused division. When asked about his relationships with his family, Zach gave a measured response, saying things are “all right.” He shared that he remains close with his sister Molly and has a decent relationship with younger brother Jacob—but notably left out any mention of his twin brother Jeremy, a silence that spoke volumes. Tori acknowledged the family had faced “a lot of very hard dynamics” over the years, though she cautiously added, “Right now, I feel like we’re in one of the better places we’ve been with your family in a while.” Zach agreed, offering a hopeful metaphor: “Things are melting.” He credited their children—along with their cousins—for helping bridge divides, saying, “The kids all love each other and love hanging out.”

Zach also touched on his healing relationship with his mother, Amy Roloff, describing past difficulties after she moved out of the farmhouse. Today, however, he says they’re in a much better place, and Tori called Amy “the best grandma ever.” But the most emotionally charged part of the discussion came when Zach spoke about his father, Matt Roloff. Despite brief interactions during holidays or baseball games, Zach and Tori were clear: “There’s no relationship.” That estrangement traces back to 2022, when Matt decided to list the farm on the market rather than sell it to any of his children—a move that Zach says didn’t just end a dream but fractured trust.

Still, amid the disappointment and emotional distance, Zach sees reason for hope. “We’re adults now. We have adult conversations,” he reflected. “And I’m grateful that our kids genuinely love being with one another.” For longtime fans of the Roloff family, his words offer a candid glimpse into a complex journey of grief, growth, and—possibly—reconciliation.
