Big Dreams, Little People, Big Worlds: Amy Roloff Renovates New Home with Fiance Chris McK as They Prep for Fairy Tale Wedding
Amy Roloff, 55, used to live on the Roloff family farm with her ex-husband Matt, with whom she shares four children: twin sons Jeremy and Zachary, 32, daughter Molly, 26, and son Jacob, 23.
After years of marriage, Amy and Matt finalized their divorce in 2016. Amy didn’t leave the family home until recently when she received a payout of $667,000 from Matt for her portion of the house.
Now, Amy and her fiance Chris McK are updating the quaint suburban home she purchased in October 2019, just a short 15-minute drive from the farm. On Wednesday,
Amy shared a snapshot of Chris working on a project for the house, which included wooden boards and planks. The selfie featured Amy smiling for the camera while Chris worked on the renovations behind her.
Amy captioned the post: “I help, well maybe cheer him on more, but this is another good one that’s probably more for me, and I got to use a power drill, yippee! He’s amazing. Another house project, new house, power tools, togetherness, working together.”
Late last month, Chris worked on a garden project. Amy caught him in the middle of working and posted the photo to Instagram, writing: “Chris has been working so hard on getting a lot of projects done around the house for us.
I’m so proud of him and can’t thank him enough. Love you, babe. House projects, story of our fairy tale, love our backyard, working hard, love him.”
Amy showed off all the home improvements to her son Zach and his wife Tori last week when she invited them over for a barbecue.
The LPBW star shared a family photo with Zach, Tori, their children Jackson, 3, and Leah, 7 months, and her fiance Chris outdoors in their backyard.
Meanwhile, Amy let slip her iffy fate on the $4 million farm in a buried comment after son Zach snubbed a major event. The Little People, Big World star and her husband Chris are appearing at the annual Pumpkin Festival.
Matt, 61, shared a photo with Chris at the 106-acre plot on Instagram on Sunday. She captioned it: “We’re getting ready for opening day, pumpkin season at Roloff Farms!
We’ll be here every day, open Friday-Sunday, and we hope to see you here! Woo!” One fan asked, “Will you be there on Saturday as well?” Amy confirmed, “We will,” but admitted that next weekend might be iffy for her due to babysitting her grandkids.
Amy, Chris, her ex-husband Matt, and their son Jacob have been making appearances during the festival. However, last month, Matt revealed that Zach, 33, won’t be doing private tours this year.
Zach and his wife Tori have always helped out at the farm’s Pumpkin Festival in the past, engaging with fans while hosting tours. Matt revealed that Zach would not be making an appearance at the event this year.
The farm’s account wrote: “We have decided that private tours will not be offered this year. But good news, you get to see so much of the farm on our wagon tours, and you’ll have a high chance of meeting Matt or Amy during the day at our Pumpkin Festival.”
Amy captioned a picture of the family barbecue: “I was so excited to have Zach, Tori, and the kids over for a barbecue dinner and just hang out.”
She continued: “Jackson is three, he’s such a boy full of adventure, and Leah is precious. She’ll be on her own adventure soon, crawling. Chris did an amazing job, and I’m thankful to have him in my life and glad he enjoys hosting or having people over as much as I do. Love my family.”
A fan asked, “Is Zach giving tours this year?” The account replied, “No, but other family members are.” Fans vowed to boycott the festival, with one writing,
“Not the same without Zach doing tours.” Another added, “If Zach’s not there, I’m not going.” The cancellation comes after it was revealed that Zach and Tori are not expected to return to LPBW next season.
Matt’s soon-to-be wife, Caryn Chandler’s son, Connor, confirmed that cameras are rolling again for another season, but Tori and Zach won’t be a part of it. Matt has an up-and-down relationship with Zach and Tori since the dad of four decided not to sell a large portion of the farm in Hillsboro, Oregon, to the pair.
Tori and Zach moved to Washington with their three kids, and Caryn son Connor shared that they rarely visit the large farm.
“Based on what I know, maybe they visit twice a year,” Connor said. “You know, they moved away, and just with all the differences, they’re kind of doing their own thing.”
He continued, “I heard through the grapevine that they do not want to be on another season if the show continues and they just want to do their own thing. I believe, whether there’s a continuation or not, Zach and Tori probably will not be seen on the next season.”
