The latest update from *Little People Big World* reveals a shocking twist on the show. In a teaser video for the upcoming episode, Matt Roloff made a controversial decision: he named his ex-wife, Amy Roloff, as the heir to the family farm after his death. In the audio shared by TLC’s official account, Matt says, “We’ve pretty much come to a consensus that the rest of the farm will go to Amy when I die.
” The camera then cuts to Amy, who appears to be quite taken aback, smiling slightly and shaking her head. Amy responds, “I don’t know how to react,” and the room falls silent for a moment. She continues, “This is crazy.” Matt explains that this was something that had been discussed before, but Amy still hasn’t fully accepted the decision.
In a confessional, Matt’s girlfriend Karen Chandler said, “Let’s talk about how I was the one who suggested that you leave all your assets, except for Arizona because that’s our joint property.” Matt agreed to the proposal, but Karen objected to leaving everything to Amy. She also stated that farming was not an option, regardless of whether they were married or not.
The situation caused a strong split in the fan community. Some supported Matt’s decision, while others sided with Amy. One fan argued that Matt was putting Amy in a difficult position by giving her the responsibility of managing the farm and the children. Another fan defended Amy, arguing that she had contributed to building the farm and deserved to inherit it. However, another fan criticized Amy, saying that she was ungrateful and did not deserve this. Amy seemed surprised by Matt’s decision and may have wanted a clearer commitment on the matter.
The decision also stemmed from a series of events that had previously caused tension between Matt and Amy. In early 2022, Matt put the family home they had lived in for many years up for sale, but decided not to sell it and instead rent it out as a short-term rental property. This decision left Amy feeling unhappy. She sold her share of the farm back to Matt in 2020 for $975,000, hoping that one of their children would buy the farm in the future.
However, Matt’s recent decision to turn the house into a vacation home left Amy feeling disappointed. She expressed regret that she could not imagine the home where she had raised her children for three decades becoming a short-term getaway. Despite acknowledging that Matt is the legal owner of the property, Amy is still upset about the decision.
In a teaser for the new season of *Little People Big World*, Matt revealed that the farm had been delayed by 26 weeks due to paperwork and delays from the licensing office, but he was still enthusiastic about renting it out. On Instagram, Matt shared a photo of his TV screen showing the latest episode of the show, inviting fans to tune in.
While some fans praised his relationship with Karen, there were also criticisms of the direction the show was taking, saying it had become boring and uninteresting. One fan chimed in: “It’s time to end this show, it’s become boring and uninteresting.”
Meanwhile, Matt and Amy’s children, Zach and Tori, announced that they would not be participating in season 26 of the show, explaining that their time on the show had come to an end. The couple also wished to respect the privacy of their three children. Amy also indirectly hinted that the show might be canceled when she shared her new job as a teacher on Instagram, which led some fans to assume this was a sign that the show would soon end.
