Zach and Tori Roloff Leave Little People Big World
The sole child of Amy and Matt Roloff who continued filming Little People Big World as an adult was Zach Roloff. However, in Season 25, Zach and Tori announced their departure from the program.
The farm feud between Zach and Matt had already created significant tension. Since leaving the show, Tori and Zach have been sharing their experiences on their podcast, Raising Heights, discussing things they couldn’t while filming for TLC.
Zach opened up about the negative aspects of being on the show, particularly the constant presence of cameras during his childhood.
He described the “Fishbowl effect,” where people constantly stared at his family because they were being filmed. This made him feel uncomfortable, especially in public spaces. Despite some enjoyable moments, Zach was generally opposed to having cameras around.
Tori and Zach now share personal details on their own terms through their podcast. They discussed their son Jackson’s medical needs and how he didn’t want cameras documenting his surgeries.
They respected his wishes, valuing privacy more as their children grew older. This understanding of privacy might have influenced their decision to leave the show.
Tori revealed that her father initially opposed her relationship with Zach due to his short stature. Her father envisioned someone different for her and questioned her repeatedly.
However, after meeting Zach, his viewpoint changed, and he grew to respect and like Zach. Tori’s friends and family also came to accept Zach after seeing why she loved him.
Tori and Zach have been together for over eight years, building a happy family with three children. Their height difference has never been an issue in their relationship.
Tori admitted she initially had a type and didn’t consider shorter men, but everything changed with Zach. She never saw his height as a disadvantage, admiring his eyes and spirit instead.
This acceptance helped their families embrace their relationship despite the height difference.
Now, as podcasters, Tori and Zach share their journey and insights, having moved past their time on Little People Big World. They continue to capture the hearts of fans, sharing their life story on their own terms and valuing the privacy and growth of their family.
