Matt Roloff decides to leave his farm to his ex-wife Amy
Matt Roloff decides who he's leaving the farm to on the upcoming season premiere of TLC's Little People, Big World. Roloff with his fiancée Caryn Chandler sit down with his ex-wife Amy Roloff and her husband Chris Marek to tell them about an update he made to his will.
"We're all but decided that when I die we're giving whatever piece of the farm I still have to Amy," Roloff said. "I don't even know how to comment on that," Amy replied.
Amy is still trying to find her words as she reflected on the moment in a confessional interview. "What? It's crazy," she told the camera.
Back in the group setting, Roloff said that he made the decision to give Amy the farm cause it's too complicated. The former couple share four adult children who grew up on the farm.
Caryn made it known that she had absolutely no interest in taking on the responsibility of Roloff's farm once he's gone. "Lets talk about the fact that I'm the one who had the idea that you leave everything you own, aside from Arizona cause that's ours together, to Amy," she said in a confessional while looking at Roloff who agreed, "You did, that was your idea."
While helping Amy understand how she and Matt decided to leave her the farm, Caryn described how Matt and Amy were a family and that they built and worked for the farm together. "I came in later and I don't want it and I don't want to take away from the people who built it, the family, the kids, so that is definite," she said.
Caryn added, "Whether we get married or we don't, the farm is off the table."
After the clip was posted to TLC's Instagram page, viewers were divided over Matt's decision.
"She helped build that farm, she deserves it for sure..." one person wrote while another countered, "What about the cash she already got for her share?"
"She got her half. Matt doesn’t owe her more. He should put it in a trust for kids or grandkids. Amy is remarried," one person commented, while another added, "He’s putting her in the position to then deal with the kids."
"Hey, Amy was caught off guard and she probably wants it in writing to believe it. Matt has made promises before…I understand Amy’s reaction," one fan noted, while another added, "Probably the best thing the man’s done yet!!! She’ll make sure it’s handled correctly."
