Matt Roloff from Little People, Big World Left Out of Thanksgiving Family Gathering
Little People, Big World star Matt Roloff has faced another setback in his relationship with his family, as he was notably absent from a recent Thanksgiving gathering hosted by his ex-wife, Amy. Despite his hopes for reconciliation with his children, particularly Zach, tensions over the Roloff property continue to strain their relationship. While Matt has managed to mend ties with most of his family, Zach appears to remain deeply affected by past conflicts.
The Ongoing Rift Between Matt and Zach
Zach Roloff, once considered Matt’s favorite child, had a strong bond with his father, often helping out on the family farm. However, their relationship soured when Matt declined to sell a portion of the Roloff property to Zach. This disagreement prompted Zach to purchase a home in Washington and begin anew, a move mirrored by his brother Jeremy and his wife, Audrey, who have also rekindled their relationship with Matt.
Sadly, Zach has made it clear that he does not wish to reconcile with Matt. He recently stated, “The ship has sailed,” indicating a desire to move on without a relationship with his father. In an emotional moment during the season finale, Matt expressed how much he misses his grandchildren and hopes to spend time with them in the future.
Thanksgiving Without Matt
Fans had been eagerly anticipating a full family reunion for the holidays, but Matt’s absence was conspicuous when Amy shared photos of the Thanksgiving gathering. She posted joyful images with her children—Zach, Tori, Jacob, Jeremy, and Audrey—along with their spouses and children. The happiness radiating from the pictures highlighted the closeness of the family, but Matt was notably missing.
Isabel, Zach’s sister-in-law, also shared a rare photo with Tori and Audrey, emphasizing the significance of the moment. Fans expressed their delight at seeing the entire family together, but many were left wondering about Matt’s whereabouts. Speculation arose about whether he spent the holiday alone or perhaps chose to celebrate with his fiancée, Caryn Chandler. While they often travel together, Matt has not publicly commented on how he spent Thanksgiving.
It’s possible that Amy opted not to invite Matt in order to enjoy a peaceful holiday with her sons and their families. As the family dynamics continue to unfold, viewers remain hopeful for a future reconciliation between Matt and Zach.
