‘Little People, Big World’: Matt Roloff Posts Sweet Birthday Tribute to Jacob Roloff: ‘I’m Very Proud’
Fans of TLC’s Little People, Big World remember when Jacob Roloff was on the show. Now the Roloff family member doesn’t appear on the reality series, and he keeps his life quite private. Recently, Matt Roloff posted a birthday tribute to Jacob despite some of their differences in the past. Here’s what Matt posted to Instagram for Jacob’s 25th birthday.
Matt Roloff’s son, Jacob Roloff, reportedly didn’t always have a good relationship with his father on ‘Little People, Big World’
Matt Roloff and Jacob Roloff reportedly didn’t always have a good relationship. Jacob got his start on Little People, Big World, but he was the first of the Roloff kids to leave the show behind. He posted his reasoning to Instagram, though he shared more about his experiences years later.
“For me, noticing how the agenda of the crew doesn’t work well with the health and happiness of our family is what made me decide quite a while ago that I would not be a part of it as soon as I was able,” he wrote on Instagram in 2016.
Then, in December 2020, Jacob came forward with allegations that he was sexually abused while on the show in another Instagram post.
As for Jacob and Matt, a reporter told Radar Online they didn’t have the “best relationship” due to Matt and Amy Roloff’s divorce. “Jacob and his dad, they don’t have the best relationship,” the insider claimed. “I think when his parents divorced he put a lot of the blame on his dad. His mom was hurting for a long time, and he believes Matt was the sole cause of that — like his dad is the one that blew up the whole family.”

This 1967 VW (Roloff family original owners) is yours to keep and pass on down the line. I couldn’t help but save this photo for your birthday.”
In the comments, Matt added a reminder for Jacob about their private “dinner celebration” that involved Matt’s girlfriend, Caryn Chandler.
Isabel Rock, Jacob’s wife, commented on the post with a series of heart emojis. To that, Matt commented, “You picked a winner,” Matt added. “And thank you for letting him be such an incredible and constructive presence on the farm the past six months.”
