An Update On Zach And Tori Roloff’s Lives Since Leaving ‘Little People, Big World’
Zach Roloff was the last Roloff child to leave “Little People Big World,” following his siblings Jeremy, Jacob, and Molly. He and his wife, Tori Roloff, featured their family life on the show from 2010 until early 2024.
Zach, the oldest son of Matt and Amy Roloff, had been a part of the show since its premiere in 2006.
Their departure from the show marked a significant change as Zach and Tori relocated from Oregon to Battleground, Washington, with their three children. The couple, who married in 2015, purchased a 3300-square-foot home in 2021. Tori announced the move on social media, expressing excitement for their new adventure.
Leaving Oregon and their long-running reality series required Zach and Tori to find new income sources. Zach had other revenue streams before leaving the show.
Apart from being a TV star, he worked as a tour guide on Roloff Farm, charging $350 per ticket. However, this job ended after disagreements with his father over purchasing the farm.
In the same month they left the show, Zach and Tori launched their podcast, “Raising Heights.” Tori also runs a photography business and is a social media influencer.
Zach’s tenure on the show significantly contributed to his wealth, but he continues to thrive without it. While on TLC, he coached youth soccer teams in Oregon, a role he loved. He expressed his passion for the sport, enjoying seeing returning kids year after year.
Zach also competed in the 2018 Copa American Dwarf World Cup and helped the USA win against Great Britain in the 2013 World Dwarf Games soccer finals. In 2023, he played for the United States Dwarf Futbol Association.
Parenting is a significant part of Zach and Tori’s life. They have three children: Jackson Kyle, Lilah Ray, and Josiah Luke, all of whom have dwarfism. In June 2024, their daughter Lilah underwent surgery to remove her tonsils and adenoids.
The couple shared updates on their podcast, revealing Lilah was doing well post-surgery and discussing their concerns about the procedure.
Before leaving “Little People Big World,” Zach and Tori explained their decision to fans. Tori stated they would not return to the show, calling it a closed chapter of their lives.
Zach echoed her sentiments, citing the family farm deal and other difficulties. Tori mentioned that their kids were a significant reason for their departure, as they no longer believed in the project.
Zach and Tori met at Roloff Farm in 2010. Tori, then a farm worker, shared that their relationship began after a colleague mentioned Zach thought she was cute.
Their first date lasted five hours, and they have been inseparable since. Zach noted that Tori brought him out of his shell.
Their relationship faced challenges and criticism, mainly due to their height difference. Tori, of average height, revealed on their podcast that her family and friends questioned her relationship with Zach.
Her father repeatedly asked if she was sure about her decision to date Zach, as he did not initially see Zach as the man for her. However, his view changed after meeting Zach, and Tori’s friends also came to accept him.
The couple married in 2015, though it wasn’t without pressure. In an episode of “Raising Heights,” Tori, then 24, shared that she was ready to marry while Zach was content with dating.
She felt insecure, worrying Zach might lose interest. Fortunately, Zach proposed, and they have enjoyed their life as a married couple and a family of five, navigating various ups and downs together.
