Audrey and Jeremy Roloff: Why They REALLY Quit Little People, Big World
Audrey Roloff and Jeremy Roloff drove a metaphorical dagger through the hearts of fans.
They have quit Little People, Big World. They don"t want to be reality stars.
However, Audrey and Jeremy do have a new podcast, titled "Behind The Scenes."
In the audio series" second-ever episode, Auj and Jer explain the real reasons for which they quit the show.
They have a whole list, folks.
Some of those reasons are not surprising. Others are.
But they have some very good news for fans who are eager to see them (and their precious baby) on camera again.
Take a look:
1. Auj and Jer have a podcast
The second episode is titled “Why We Left the Show.”
2. Jeremy spent about half of his life on Little People, Big World
And, as Audrey explains, the show changed over the years as the television industry evolved.
3. Reality TV became a big thing
“The dynamic of the show changed for you guys [once reality TV boomed],” Audrey says. “Because it was no longer in the budget for people to sit in your living room and film all day long.”
4. That meant that the show changed, too
It became less of a documemtary and focused more on being entertaining in order to remain on the air
5. Of course, the Roloffs were already famous
They had appeared on major talk shows such as Good Morning America and even Oprah.
6. Audrey shares that quitting the show was always the plan
“We almost didn’t film our wedding,” she reveals. “We almost made the decision to stop then, five years ago.”

Tori Roloff Flaunts Beach Body, Post-Baby Weight Loss
Tori Roloff is no Kim Kardashian.
She has no sex tape about which to lament the existence of and she doesn"t come across as fake or disingenuous at every turn.
But the Little People, Big World star has borrowed one page from Kim"s playbook on her Instagram page.
She has shared a photo of her pre-baby body and her post-baby body, clearly proud of how far she has come.
Oh, and she"s also given us new glimpses at adorable son Jackson!
Scroll down to see all the photos!
1. In Maui
Life looks pretty great for Tori, Zach and little Jackson in Maui, doesn’t it? We sort of wish we were there.
2. Pregnancy Throwback
Let’s do a time warp! Tori Roloff shared this photo on her Instagram page, saying she was seven months pregnant at the time… in Maui.
3. In Maui… Again
… and now they have a baby! Tori and Zach returned to Maui with their precious son, Jackson, 18 months after he entered their world.
4. 7 months in. 18 months out.
Here is a comparison of those two photos. Tori wrote “7 months in. 18 months out.” as a caption.
5. A Slight Tease
As you can see here, some fans got excited that this was a second pregnancy announcement by Tori, as followers continue to hope one is on the way.
6. These Fans Mean Well, But…
Tori expressed understandable irritation at all the pregnancy rumors going around the Internet. She was forced to issue this statement in response to them on Instagram: “No I’m not pregnant. Yes I love baggy clothes and food. What if I was a women who couldn’t get pregnant? What if I was a women who had body image issues?”

Jeremy Roloff: Forget Politicians, Only Jesus Can Save You!
Jeremy Roloff does not want to get political
Really, he doesn’t.
But the ex-Little People, Big World star felt a need to speak up this week on Election Day.
With millions and millions of people heading out to their voting locations this past Tuesday, Jeremy took to Instagram and actually discouraged followers from choosing between politicians.
Okay, that’s not entirely true.
But Jeremy definitely did not pull a Taylor Swift and endorse any candidates.
Nor was he one of the many, MANY people who shared their “I Voted” sticker on his social media account.
Instead, Roloff touted the help of his Lord and Savior and suggested that people turn to religion instead of politics if they really want to make a change in their lives.
“The political climate in America is suffocating, no one can deny that,” wrote Jeremy to open his semi-controversial message on November 6, adding by way of reassurance:
“And don’t worry, this isn’t a “political post.” But since it’s vote day, I thought I’d at least acknowledge the chaos.”
It’s more commonly referred to as Election Day, but we’re sorry. Go on, Jeremy…
“As we turn in our ballots today, remember, politics are not our savior, Jesus is,” he wrote, expounding as follows:
“No matter the political lean of your fellow American, treat them with respect. Don’t let your political passion outweigh your human decency.”
Jeremy and his wife, Audrey, have always been very open about their faith and their religion, of course.
The latter recently explained to fans all the lessons that God has taught her over the years.
Along similar lines, this is how Jeremy concluded his Election Day pist:
The tides of cultural morality are just that – tides. But we have a unwavering rock to stand on – the Word of God.
I’m not saying that the answer to measure 101 can be found in Habakkuk; what I’m saying is that we are carrying the name of Christ and His word has a lot to say about how we should conduct ourselves.
We cary His name, so let’s act like it.
Vote, research, stand up for what aches you, but don’t do it at the expense of the real cure – discipleship to Jesus.
It’s an interesting take.
We’re not sure if dedicating one’s life to the teachings of Jesus Christ means you can’t also be politically active, but we at least understand where Jeremy is coming from.
The former TLC star, sadly, will not be returning to Little People, Big World next season.
But he and Audrey have found new forums in which they can express views such as these.
Look for their memoir to be released in early 2019 and for their podcast to even hit your ear buds in the near future.

Audrey Roloff Offers 7 Tips for Finding a "Godly Husband"
Audrey Roloff is not a playa.
She just crushes Jeremy Roloff a lot.
How did this ex-Little People, Big World star land her sweet, religious and caring husband?
Audrey would probably be the first person to say she got very lucky.
But she’s also learned a greay deal from being with someone such as Jeremy – and, as she has so often done in the past, the former reality star would now like to pass along that knowledge.
Indeed, God has taught Audrey three valuable lessons…
… and now Roloff would like to pay it back by addressing “all the single girls out there,” as she writes on Instagram.
“Instead of looking for the tall, dark, handsome, charming, nice, athletic guy with a good job.. Here are 7 things to look for in a Godly husband,” Audrey adds.
From there, she goes on to list… well… 7 things to look for in a Godly husband.
Get out your notebook and follow along, women who are interested:
1. Loves sacrificially – treats everyone with respect and integrity and puts his needs and wants aside for the good of others.
2. A man of obvious integrity – honest to the point of vulnerability. Doesn’t over exaggerate or distort the truth.
3. Faithfully following the Lord – he prioritizes his relationship with the Lord and is committed to growing in truth and grace and unashamed to speak the gospel and stand firm on God’s word.
He’s not easily confirmed to the patterns of this world (Romans 12:2).
4. Leads boldly – he is discerning, he carefully weighs his options and is able to make decisions on his own with clear conviction.
5. Laughs at himself – he doesn’t take himself too seriously and is not always trying to look like the hero + sense of humor can go a long way.
6. Models humility and gentleness – he is not easily jealous and is quick to rejoice in others successes! He’s willing to be behind the scenes sometimes.
7. Purpose driven – he is confident in his calling and determined to live worthy of the calling he has received (Ephesians 4:1), he puts away childish things (1 Corinthians 13:11), and works hard in all he does (Colossians 3:23).
Simply put, “that’s a man worth waiting for. And that’s a man worth marrying,” concludes Audrey in her post.
She and Jeremy got married in September of 2014 and welcomed a daughter into the world about three years later.
They really do seem as happy and as content with each other as a couple can be.
These Roloffs surprised fans when they quit Little People, Big World over the summer — but they aren’t going too far.
Jeremy and Audrey recently announced the name of their podcast and are also coming out with a new book in early 2019.
If you have time to take a break during your search for the type of man Audrey describes above, give it a listen and then give it a read.

Audrey and Jeremy Roloff Announce New Podcast Name!
Audrey and Jeremy Roloff are no longer cast members on Little People, Big World.
But this doesn"t mean you"ve seen or heard the last from the former TLC personalities.
Far from it, in fact.
Aside from penning a memoir and constantly updating their social media feeds, Audrey and Jeremy will be coming out with a podcast.
They announced this big step several weeks ago, but didn"t reveal the name of the planned podcast…. UNTIL NOW!
Audrey has written a lengthy Instagram post in promotion of the endeavor, including with it the highly-anticipated name.
So, what are you waiting for?!? Find out below!
1. Audrey Builds the Hype…
She opened the Instagram post that confirmed the name as follows: “As Jer and I were talking about the kind of content that we gravitate to the most, it’s always the behind the scenes stuff. We love when people share the whys and hows of what they do and the struggle behind their success! We want our podcast to feel relatable, real and refreshing. We want it to inspire you, challenge you, relate to you, and defintely make you laugh”
2. Fair Enough. Go On, Auds…
“so….we are calling our podcast … BEHIND THE SCENES,” she then announced. Yup, that’s it. Just “Behind the Scenes.” No need for any confusing puns here!
3. Is There an Instagram Page for It Yet?
Yup. Go ahead and follow @behindthescenespodcast if you so desire.
4. What Can Listeners Expect From It?
Teases Audrey: “We are going to share the messy, honest, unfiltered and not so curated parts of our life. We are going to share the behind the scenes reality of OUR life, AND the lives of the people who inspire us the most!”
5. What Else Can Audrey Say About It?
“We are talking you behind the scenes of our social media feeds, blogs, and ministries. We are going to talk honestly and openly about relationships, family, faith, business and whatever we are learning about, fighting about, or laughing about lately. We’re going to share our failures, struggles, and embarrassing stories.”
6. Come On Over. Be Our Friend.
“We hope this podcast will feel more like an invitation to our dinner table,” continued Audrey. “We’ll share what we are learning, who we are learning from, and our roses and thorns – aka highs and lows – from the week. Think of this podcast as a bunch of bloopers with some truth bombs sprinkled throughout.”

Jacob Roloff: Gushed Over, Praised by Fiancee Isabel Rock
Last month, Jacob Roloff and Isabel Rock announced their wedding date.
Now, Isabel can’t help but gush about the former Little People, Big World star.
Isabel is telling fans how supportive Jacob is — and revealing how he helps her with her art.
“The man behind the resin pieces,” Isabel Rock gushed on social media alongside a glimpse of Jacob helping with her art.
“I couldn’t have done it without his help,” she admits.
Isabel explains: “If you are not familiar with resin, there are so many steps and tricks and measuring.”
“And,” she continues. “You can’t mess any of it up or you’ll ruin the entire piece.”
Isabel then announces: “Jacob always comes through!”
Isabel wasn’t done praising the love of her life.
“He really is the most helpful and supportive fiance,” she gushes.
Her post ends: “I really love him so much!”
Awww, they’re so cute.
And he has been supportive of her in other ways that do not have to do with her art.
Alongside this tender photo, Isabel recently gushed about how Jacob helped her self-image.
“When I first saw this photo,” Isabel writes. “I was horrified at how chubby my cheeks looked.”
“This beautiful picture, with all of its complexities that make it what it is,” she describes.
“And of course,” Isabel laments. “I zeroed in on the most negative thing I could find.”
“My cheeks are one of Jacob’s favorite things about me,” she reveals.
Cute!
“I’ve had them since birth,” Isabel says of her cheeks. “And apparently, they’re never going away.”
She explains how Jacob’s feedback helped her to appreciate the image.
“Now, with some perspective, I see this photograph as one I will cherish for life,” Isabel writes.
“The way he is looking at me,” she admires. “That perfect Iowa sunset.”
She mentions: “The fact that there were so many deer in a meadow behind us and our dogs were in that same meadow playing ball.”
“Life is a lot like this,” Isabel notes.
A huge part of being a celebrity who posts lowkey thinkpieces to Instagram is drawing larger life lessons from individual photos.
“We tend to hone in on the negatives,” Isabel acknowledges. “It is the way we have trained our brains to work since the beginning.”
“We focus on what we don’t like, what we don’t have, what we wish were different,” Isabel explains.
Isabel continues: “Instead of looking at the whole picture and admiring it for all that it is.”
“I’d like you to join me in training our minds to see things differently,” Isabel invites her followers.
When looking at the world, she says, “we don’t have to see it negatively.”
She suggests that they join her in “Practicing gratitude, daily affirmations, changing our thought patterns,”
“All of these things,” Isabel says. “Can shift our perspective.”
She is absolutely right. Sometimes, the key to changing the way that you think is just daily practice.
Isabel points out that rejecting the natural instinct to focus on the negative can make people’s lives better.
She suggests focusing on this “so that when something bad comes along we can still find the good in it.”
“We can still find the light,” Isabel concludes.
She then follows that post with a couple of tags.
“#worldmentalhealthday,” she writes. “#ilovehimsomuch”
Jacob has been publicly supportive of Isabel’s art, but it’s great to see that he gets involved in the process.
His mother, Amy Roloff, has also shown her support by giving Isabel’s gallery showings a boost on social media.
It is heartwarming to see that Jacob also lends emotional support to Isabel when it comes to loving herself.
Heartwarming, but not surprising — they are, after all, engaged.

Matt Roloff Drops HUGE Hint About Little People, Big World Season 14
We have some good news, Little People, Big World fans:
You may not need to say goodbye to Jeremy and Audrey Roloff after all.
Back in July, of course, the beloved twosome stunned fans of this TLC series by announcing they would not be returning for Season 14.
Jeremy said in his statement that this decision had actually been reached about a year earlier, telling followers on Instagram:
It has been an amazing run, and I can’t say thank you enough to all of you who have watched and supported us along the ride. We have the most loyal fans on TV and we appreciate every one of you.
You are what made doing this so fun.
We will still be supporting the family as they carry the #LPBW torch onward. This is a decision concerning Audrey and me specifically – the show must go on.
And Matt has now confirmed as much: the show WILL be going on.
The patriarch tells Soap Dirt that filming for Season 14 is underway, and that viewers likely have actually NOT seen the last of Jeremy and Audrey.
Cameras were on hand for Matt’s recent birthday party, for example, and these two were in attendance, so… “that’s a little tip for you there,” Matt said.
He explained that Jeremy and Audrey are not on the “filming schedule,” but they are very much around at times and aren’t about to hide from TLC.
“They’ll participate in the family events,” he says simply.
That’s nice to know, isn’t it?
Roloff admitted in this same interview that mentioned that his son and daughter-in-law dropping out of the show was quite a “twist to the whole thing, but TLC decided to go forward.
And why not, he continues?
“They’ve got Zach and Tori, and Amy and myself” as cast members, even noting “Caryn and Chris” in a reference to his girlfriend, Caryn Chandler, and Amy Roloff’s boyfriend, Chris Marek (below).
It sounds as if both will have significant roles on Season 14.
As for when new episodes may air?
Matt doesn’t know.
He says he heard the spring at one point, but it’s possible he and his loved ones may be back on our small screens prior to that.
Either way, they remain a huge part of our lives, frequently sharing photos and messages on social media.
For example, did you see how the Roloff celebrated the start of pumpking season at their farm this week?

Molly Roloff Actually Visits Family Farm, Makes Amy One Happy Mama
Molly Roloff may not be a cast member on Little People, Big World.
But that doesn’t mean she isn’t a very welcome member of her own family.
Unlike her brother, Jacob, who quit the aforementioned TLC series last summer in a major huff, Molly has never made any grand statements about the show being fake or phony or silly in any way.
Nope.
She’s simply chosen to live a more private life, one that has taken her away from her family farm and one that includes a very normal and content existence with husband Joel.
Like we said before, however, Molly is on great terms with her parents despite having removed herself from their everyday lives and their most profitable source of income.
And that relationship was on full display this past weekend.
In honor of the beginning of pumpkin season at Roloff Farms, Molly and Joel drove on down and supported their loved ones.
They posed for a photo with the entire family, and they also posed for a photo with just Amy, as you can see above.
“I was so so excited that Molly and Joel were able to drive down for opening weekend of pumpkin season at Roloff Farms Pumpkin Patch,” Amy wrote as a caption to the two images above.
She added:
“It was wonderful to see them. This mom was happy.”
And below is the snapshot that has been making the Internet rounds, with nearly every single Roloff in the same place for a fun change:
As far as Molly goes, she recently hung with her dad as well and does try to come back to the farm when she can.
But she headed off college at Whitworth University and then met her now-husband shortly thereafter, Joel Silvius.
Together, the couple chose to stay in the area and they’re now permanently based in Spokane, Washington, which is about a six-hour drive from where Matt and Amy reside.
(Yes, Matt and Amy are divorced, but they still live on the same large piece of property. It’s a whole thing.)
It’s not a short haul for Joel and Molly to visit the farm, but pumpkin season is THE huge event for this family.
At least professionally speaking.
“The first weekend of pumpkin season has officially come and the whole family came out!” the Roloffs shared on the farm’s official Instagram page.
“Thank you to everyone who has come out despite the rainy Oregon weather!”

Tori Roloff Opens Up About Marriage to Zach: I Always Have to Reach the High Shelf!
Little People, Big World star Tori Roloff is a wonderful mother to her adorable baby, Jackson.
But she’s also an amazing wife to her husband. In fact, she posted the ultimate anniversaty tribute to Zach earlier this year.
Now, she’s opening up to fans about how her husband’s dwarfism impacts their marriage. She gets very honest.
On Monday night, Tori Roloff took to Instagram for a no-holds-barred Q&A with her fans and followers.
Seriously, no topic was off-limits.
Tori gushed about having found an entire community of little people through her husband, Zach Roloff.
Tori wrote that she is “so blessed that I’ve made such amazing friends in the dwarf community.”
(Disclaimer: some little people are totally onboard with the dwarf label while others are emphatically not)
Tori went on to speak about how Zach’s dwarfism impacts their relationship.
It turns out that the effect is not as great as some people have assumed.
Tori is quick to shoot down the misconception that his dwarfism is a “limitation” within their marriage.
She does say that the biggest impact is that she has “asked to reach the high shelf a lot.”
That sort of thing can happen in a lot of marriages where there’s a height difference.
Tori says that things go smoothly so long as neither of them are trying to be a different height than they really are.
“To me it feels weird to crouch,” Tori confesses.
“And,” she adds. “Zach always told me to stand.”
“I’m not trying to be shorter and he’s not trying to be taller,” she notes.
Any relationship is going to be healthier while both parties agree to be exactly who they are.
“I love my husband for his heart not his height,” Tori affirms. “Love is love is love.”
She’s right — and it’s good that she makes it clear that she is not a “chaser.”
That is, she is not someone who fetishizes him for his dwarfism.
She loves Zach for who he is, neither for nor despite his height.
That is just as it should be.
She also speaks about baby Jackson, and this is when she starts talking science and genetics with her followers.
“It’s a dominant gene,” she explains. “So you only have the gene if you are an achon.”
(How many other reality stars can hold their own in a conversations about hereditary traits and genetics?)
“They do all carry the gene for dyostraphic,” Tori continues.
“But,” she notes. “Their partner would also have to carry the gene to have children with dyostraphic dwarfism.”
Fans ask how she feels about the very real possibility that sweet baby Jackson might need to undergo surgeries, like his father and grandfather.
Tori says that “of course” the idea of that scares her.
“There’s no telling,” Tori admits.
Tori then notes: “but we’re blessed to have no health issues so far.”
“But we have so much support and love,” Tori says. “And I know we’ll handle anything God throws at us.”
Right now, she’s more worried about the bumps and bruises that Jackson is very naturally getting as he learns to walk.
