Little People, Big World star Matt Roloff has confirmed that he and fiancée Caryn Chandler have ended their engagement. The reality TV personality shared the news via Instagram on Tuesday, July 22, explaining the couple’s decision to part ways after more than six years together.
“Caryn and I have decided to part ways & end our engagement,” Roloff, 63, wrote. “Life’s a continued journey and this is the right step for us at this time.” He added that the two remain on good terms, writing, “We will always appreciate the many wonderful memories we have shared.”
Roloff and Chandler, 58, began dating publicly in 2017, about nine months after Matt finalized his divorce from ex-wife Amy Roloff. The pair got engaged in April 2023, with Roloff announcing they were planning a “simple but elegant” wedding for 2024.
Their engagement, however, stirred mixed emotions within the Roloff family. During season 25 of the TLC reality series, Matt and Amy’s son Zach was notably silent when asked about his father's engagement, responding, “I don’t wanna talk about it.” Amy, 62, also shared her reservations on the show, saying she wasn’t sure if she would attend the wedding out of respect for the couple’s moment.
In a February 2024 interview with Us Weekly, Amy said her relationship with Chandler had evolved. “We’re cordial, we’re respectful. We can be in each other’s company,” she explained, adding that filming with her ex and his fiancée had been a “process.”
Despite the breakup, Matt expressed optimism for the future, thanking fans for their support and committing to move forward “with positivity and trust in the path ahead.”
