Jacob Roloff, the black sheep brother of the Little People, Big World family, is getting married on Saturday at the family farm, and after years of awkward estrangement, the drama promises to be high at the family reunion.

As RadarOnline.com readers know, Jacob’s relationship with his father, Matt, is in such a fragile state that he tried to ban the 22-year-old from having his wedding on the family farm.

Luckily, mother Amy came to the rescue. Amy, who recently sold her portion of the farm to ex-husband Matt, did so with the stipulation that she would hand over the farm house and be fully moved out by Nov. 1, well after this weekend’s wedding.

“When we first agreed to this back in January of 2019… I put down November 1 of 2019, because originally he had kind of suggested, ‘nope Jacob is not going to get married here,’ Amy said in a Facebook Live video on July 14.  “And I thought ‘Jacob not married on the farm? What is he talking about?’ All the kids got married on the farm… No way!'”

Jacob has been estranged from most of his family since their parents divorced. At one point, he didn't talk to any of them, and even accused his parents of stealing money from him. He hasn't been on the show for nearly five years.

Check out this RadarOnline.com gallery for more on Jacob’s secrets and scandals.

Almost immediately, sister-in-law and Christian blogger Audrey posted a cryptic message slamming couples who “dabbled with sexual intimacy before marriage.” As RadarOnline.com previously reported, hyper-religious Audrey and free spirit Jacob have never gotten along. While the rest of the family has strict Christian beliefs, Jacob identifies himself as agnostic.

Jacob dropped Audrey from his Instagram followers list soon after. A year later, he seemingly cut brother Jeremy out as well, unfollowing him in January 2019. A source close to the family told RadarOnline.com Jacob is trying to distance himself from the couple.

“Jacob and his dad don’t have the best relationship,” an insider told RadarOnline.com. “I think when his parents divorced he put a lot of the blame on his dad. His mom was hurting for a long time, and he believes Matt was the sole cause of that — like his dad is the one that blew up the whole family.”
