Matt Roloff, star of Little People, Big World, has revealed that he and his fiancée Caryn Chandler have ended their relationship after eight years. The couple began dating in 2017 and got engaged in April 2023, but their wedding plans faced multiple delays, including concerns over Roloff’s mother’s health.
In a heartfelt Instagram announcement, Roloff described the split as an “amicable” decision, emphasizing that it was the right step for both of them at this time. He acknowledged their shared memories and expressed gratitude for the support from fans during this difficult transition.
Previously, sources indicated that the couple’s wedding originally scheduled for May was postponed without a firm reschedule date, potentially shifting to later in the year. The couple had discussed various locations, including Hawaii, for their future nuptials but encountered disagreements over the scale and location of the wedding. Roloff has expressed a desire for a larger gathering, while Chandler preferred a more intimate setting, indicating some tension in their differing visions.
Roloff’s commitment to family is evident through his choices, especially after losing his father in 2022, and his desire to prioritize providing support for his aging mother during this time.
This breakup highlights the challenges many couples face when navigating relationships, especially under the scrutiny of public life and family obligations. As they both move forward, there’s an opportunity for personal growth and new beginnings for Roloff and Chandler.
