Divorces can be tough experiences for anyone, no matter the situation. And when it comes to Amy Roloff and Matt Roloff, their divorce was no exception. But now, after several years of silence, Amy is finally sharing her thoughts on their intense episode and how they have moved forward.
Amy Roloff is widely recognized for her role on the reality show “Little People, Big World,” where she starred alongside her ex-husband Matt Roloff for many years. The couple went through a divorce in 2016, and now Amy is shedding light on her relationship with Matt post-split.
In an exclusive interview, the 61-year-old reality star speaks about the upcoming season of the show and the personal growth that viewers will witness on-screen. It has been seven years since viewers last saw the tense divorce between Amy and Matt Roloff, who is now 62 years old.
“For the upcoming season, you will see a change in me and my dynamic with Matt,” Amy reveals. She goes on to acknowledge the positive influence of Chris Malek, her husband, and Caryn Chandler, Matt’s fiancée, in their lives. Amy remarried Chris in 2021, while Matt got engaged to Caryn in 2023.
One significant storyline in the upcoming season revolves around a fundraising event that Amy, Matt, Caryn, and Chris participate in together. Amy shares that this event marks a turning point in her relationship with her ex-husband. She admits that in the past, she wanted nothing to do with Matt. However, she now recognizes her own mistakes and the need to let go of the walls she had built.
Amy reflects on her personal growth, saying, “I realized that by keeping a wall up, I was only keeping myself out. He’s still the father of my kids and the grandfather of my grandchildren. With Chris’s help, I’ve been able to bring down that wall and focus on a better relationship with Matt and Caryn.”
Despite being married for nearly 30 years, Amy acknowledges that they still have a long way to go to regain the level of friendship they once had. However, she emphasizes their commitment to growing as a family.
“We may have our disagreements, tense moments, and say things we don’t mean. But at the end of the day, we are still family,” Amy affirms.
Chris Malek also shares his perspective on their evolving relationship, stating that it took time for everyone to reach where they are now. He expresses gratitude that their situation did not turn into a hostile and animosity-filled divorce like he has seen in other cases.
“It’s great to see that we’ve moved on to better relationships and that we can even get together as a group – Matt, Caryn, Amy, and myself. We truly enjoy each other’s company and have good laughs and conversations,” adds Chris.
In a world where bitter divorces are all too common, it’s heartwarming to see Amy and Matt Roloff maintain a level of understanding and friendship. Their story serves as a reminder that even after parting ways, it is possible to keep the bonds of family intact.
