Matt Roloff’s New Home and Family Tensions: LPBW Fans React
Little People, Big World fans have been buzzing about Matt Roloff’s decision to build a large new house for himself and his fiancée, Caryn.
The house, located on Roloff Farms, is being constructed as their dream home, but many viewers are questioning why the couple needs such a big place for just the two of them.
Matt announced that he was working on the layout, and in early , he shared updates about construction starting.
The plan is for Matt and Caryn to move into the home by Christmas 2023. According to Matt, he delayed proposing to Karen until they secured a place to live that suited them both, as their current homes didn’t complement each other.
Now that the house is almost complete, Matt has finally proposed, and Caryn happily accepted. Matt has kept fans updated on social media, showing glimpses of the house’s progress, including window installations.
While many of Matt’s 788,000 Instagram followers are excited for him and Caryn, others have been critical of the home’s size. Some fans asked why a home that large is necessary at their age, while others joked that Karen was the one pushing for the mansion.
Criticism of the house’s size also comes with speculation about the rest of the Roloff family. Some fans believe Karen has influenced Matt’s decision to not sell the farm to his sons, Zach and Jeremy.
Negotiations between Matt and his sons over purchasing part of the farm fell through, leading to tension within the family. Instead of selling to Zach and Jeremy, Matt initially listed the property for sale but later decided to turn it into a short-term rental.
One fan even speculated that Matt and Amy’s youngest son, Jacob Roloff, has ulterior motives for working on the farm. Jacob, who had distanced himself from the family for years, is the only Roloff child who currently works on Roloff Farms
. Fans think Jacob may be positioning himself to eventually take over the farm. However, there’s no confirmation of this, and it remains speculation for now.
The conflict over the farm has caused a noticeable rift within the family, particularly between Matt and Zach. After their failed negotiations, Zach and his wife, Tori, moved their family to Washington, creating more physical and emotional distance between them and the rest of the Roloffs.
Amid the family drama, Zach and Tori Roloff recently welcomed their fourth child. Caryn Chandler was thrilled to welcome the new baby, and this joyful event is expected to be featured in the upcoming season of Little People, Big World.
While fans are happy for Zach and Tori, many can’t help but notice the growing tensions between the different branches of the Roloff family.
As season 25 approaches, fans are eager to see how these dynamics will play out. Matt’s decision to build such a large house with Karen, the ongoing family tensions over the farm, and the new addition to Zach and Tori’s family all promise to make the new season full of drama and major life changes.
Amy Roloff, Matt’s ex-wife, has also voiced her opinion on Matt’s decision to turn the family home into a short-term rental. In a preview for the upcoming season, Amy expresses disappointment, saying she never imagined the home she raised her children in would become a rental property.
Amy sold her portion of the farm to Matt after their divorce in 2015, but the property still holds a special place in her heart, especially since she and her current husband, Chris Marek, got married there in 2021.
Fans of the show are excited to see how all these storylines will unfold, particularly the tension between Matt and his sons over the future of the farm.
Season 25 of Little People, Big World is expected to provide more insight into the family’s personal and business challenges, and fans will be watching closely as Matt and Karen adjust to their new life together in their massive new home.
