Little People’s Matt Roloff reunites with son Jacob after nasty years-long feud
LITTLE People star Matt Roloff appears to have put his feud with son Jacob behind him, as the pair met up for a “short visit”.
Matt revealed that last week he and his fiance Caryn Chandler enjoyed a trip to the small beach town of Manzanita, Oregon to see friends and enjoy an “amazing dinner” together.
But in a surprise turn of events, he “ran into” Jacob who was “walking his dogs”, and the three spent some “short” time together, taking pictures to commemorate the rare moment.
Matt shared the snaps on Instagram, writing: “No sooner did we finish dinner – we ran into @jacobroloff45 (Izzy was at a friends house) walking his dogs down the main beach boulevard.
“Nice short visit with Jacob before heading off to see our friends new house they’re building.”
It has long been thought that Matt and Jacob also don’t see eye to eye and that Jacob placed much of the blame for his parent’s divorce on his father.
“They don’t have the best relationship,” an insider previously told Radar.
“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.”
In 2019, his mother Amy also hinted that Matt had refused to allow Jacob and his wife Isabel to get married on the family farm, which would have made him the only Roloff child not to do so.
Amy did not have the financial means to buy out the farm from Matt, so chose to sell her half and find a new home.
However, as part of her agreement that she would hand over the farmhouse and be fully moved out by November 1 2019, she made it clear Jacob and Isabel were allowed to wed on the property.

Little People, Big World was originally focused around Jacob’s parents, Amy and Matt, when the show premiered in 2006.
It followed how the couple, who both have dwarfism, navigated their daily lives managing a farm and four children near Portland, Oregon.
Amy and Matt’s son Zachary is the only child out of the four that was also diagnosed dwarfism, while the rest, Jacob, Jeremy, and Molly are of regular height.
The youngest Roloff son hasn’t appeared on the TLC show since 2016 after accusing show bosses of stirring up family drama for television storylines and claiming that the family is nothing like the show portrays.
