Jacob Roloff is a former reality star well known for his appearance on the TLC show Little People, Big World.

Short Bio

Jacob Roloff is an American TV personality and author born on 17 January 1997 in Oregon, USA. He was born as the youngest son of Matthew and Amy Roloff.

Jacob is widely known for appearing in Little People, Big World, a TLC reality show that premiered in March 2006 and has 22 seasons. The show follows the lives of the Roloff family’s six members on their farm near Portland, Oregon.

Most of the episodes focus on his parents, Matthew and Amy Roloff, and his sibling, Zach, who, like his father and mother, has dwarfism. On the other hand, Jacob, and his two other siblings, Jeremy, Zach’s twin brother, and Molly Jo, are of average height and also featured in the show. 

In 2019, Jacob left Little People, Big World after appearing in over 240 episodes between 2006 and 2019. Back in 2016, he criticized the program on Instagram, accusing it of fabricating sequences for the sake of drama. In addition, he wrote that his family is nothing like what you see on TV.

“Producers have to try to get us to follow the talking points,” Jacob wrote at the time. “For me, noticing how the agenda of the crew doesn’t work well with the health and happiness of our family is what made me decide quite a while ago that I could not be a part of it as soon as I was able.”

In early 2017, Jacob and his wife, Isabelle Rock, started a blog called Rock and Roloff, which features Isabel’s abstract art, couple’s photography, and personal writing. Besides, the pair also has a YouTube channel titled Roaming Roloffs, which has over 7.66 thousand subscribers as of January 2022.

Moreover, Jacob is an author and has published two books, ‘Verbing’ in 2017 and ‘Out To See’ in 2018.

Wedding

Jacob Roloff got married at the age of 22. He married his wife Isabel Sofia Rock on 7 September 2019 in Roloff Family Farm, following an engagement in December 2017 while traveling to Iceland. However, the couple had been dating since 2014.

While Jacob wore a dark tux for the wedding, the bride wore a long-sleeve lace gown with a translucent back and a green crown of leaves. They exchanged wedding vows in a private elopement along the coast.

The same day they got wed, Isabel shared a photo of Jacob leading the way as they walked through a wooded area to take pictures. “We are married,” Isabel captioned the post while Jacob commented, “My beautiful wife.”

Child

The pair have one child, a baby boy named Mateo Tomás, born on 4 December 2021. Following his son’s birth, Jacob tweeted, “My wife is a superhero, my son is an angel, and all nurses are saints goodnight.”

A week later, he shared a post on Instagram and wrote, “My beautiful son was born one week ago, early on 4 December. Mateo Tomás. I already feel an endless love and fierce protection for this boy. “

Sexually Abused

In 2020, Jacob claimed he was molested by Chris Cardamone, a former producer for TLC’s show Little People, Big World, who served from 2007 to 2010.

In a 2020 Instagram post, he stated that he talked about the event years later to continue healing. “I choose to disclose it now as it remains a traumatic memory that needs to be exorcised of any further power over my development,” Jacob explained.

He elaborated that when Cardamone texted him in November 2015, years after the alleged abuse, he first considered going public. “This may also serve as a reminder that the experience of sexual assault, in all of its iterations, can happen to anyone at anytime and is a far more prevalent reality than our current social stigma allows us to talk about,” Jacob continued.
