Jacob Roloff has come a very long way in a year.
Last summer, the ex-Little People, Big World resigned from his family’s reality show with a handful of scathing statements, calling out his loved ones as a bunch of phonies.
The youngest Roloff sibling blasted producers, his parents and his brothers for faking scenes and scripting storylines on a weekly basis.
But that was then.
And now?
Roloff has clearly found peace away from the camera.
He spends a great deal of his time on the road, traversing the Pacific Northwest with his girlfriend and his two dogs and even acknowledging that he may have misspoke a bit in the past.
“I remember at that time, I was causing strife,” Roloff said online about a month ago, adding:
“I said inflammatory things [last year]. Even as I said those things, I would admit that in about a year, ‘I’d probably regret some of this."”
Roloff went on to admit that he was simply rebelling back then and, simply bit, he “grew up” in a big way in the many months since.
Jacob isn’t all talk, either.
He has stopped by his family’s farm in Oregon on multiple occasions since Tori and Zach Roloff welcomed their first child into the world in mid-May, sharing numerous photos of nephew Jackson on Instagram and gushing over the precious bundle of joy.
And now he’s doing the same thing when it comes to his girlfriend, Isabel Rock.
The 20-year old shared a photo of Isabel, sitting around a campfire on his Instagram page yesterday, looking all cute while cuddled up in a cozy blanket.
“Seriously dig this girl,” he wrote as a caption. “Life with her is a gift.”
How sweet is that?!?
When it comes to the proverbial #RelationshipGoals, it’s safe to say these two have attained the sort we all strive for.
Jacob and Isabel have been documenting their road trip on YouTube almost since the beginning.
They keep a running video blog that alerts fans to their whereabouts and serves as a general reflection on their lives.
“These videos are going to be kind of a mix of dog life, travel life, just talking and stuff,” Jacob said back when they started.
“We’ll pretty much just show you scenery and tell you what we’re doing that day or something and then also talks and stuff while we’re driving.”
In general, Jacob has been making a point to step back into the spotlight of late.
He’s been doing this partly to satisfy his base of followers, partly because he has things he wants to say… and partly because he actually has a new book out!
