Little People, Big World star Amy Roloff is engaged! And her ex-husband, Matt Roloff, shared his surprising reaction to the news exclusively with RadarOnline.com.
“I’m happy for them,” Matt, 57, told RadarOnline.com after his nightmare divorce from Amy, 55.
Amy and boyfriend Chris Marek got engaged Wednesday night, one day after her 55th birthday, according to PEOPLE.
“I’m excited, I’m so surprised, I’m thrilled!” she told the outlet. “I never in a million years thought I’d be getting married again, but I also hoped for it! Now that it’s happening, I couldn’t be happier or more excited.”
As RadarOnline.com readers know, Amy and Matt divorced in 2015, after 27 years of marriage, amid allegations of infidelity on his side. In her recently published tell-all book "A Little Me," Amy shared with fans her belief that Matt had an inappropriate relationship with current girlfriend Caryn Chandler for years, while the two were still married.
“Matt and our farm manager Caryn, who had been working for us a number of years by then, seemed to have more than just a working relationship or friendship.
I saw messages, pictures, and other things that should not have been shared between people who just worked together and were still married to other people,” she wrote. “I was devastated.”
After Matt and Amy divorced, he and Caryn publicly came out as a couple.'
Matt and Amy’s separation would trigger a war between the exes, especially over the fate of the family farm. After a lengthy battle, Amy sold her portion of the iconic property to Matt for a whopping $667,000.
Amy agreed to move out by November, but not before ensuring her young son Jacob Roloff could have his dream wedding on the farm following a temporary fallout with his father.
On Saturday, September 7, Jacob and his girlfriend, Isabel Rock, were married, with the reception indeed held at the family’s famed farm.
Almost immediately after, Matt began clearing out the farm, prepping for a makeover and auctioning off some of his family’s belongings.
“Everything is getting set out for the big farm auction this Saturday @rolofffarms..cleaning out all the barns the past several months,” he shared on Instagram on Friday, September 13. “So much more for sale. Tons of random things for sale.”
