In a candid discussion, Tori, 31, and Zach, 33, declared that they will not be returning to 'Little People, Big World', affirming that this chapter of their lives has come to a definitive close.

Reflecting on their decision, Zach emphasized that regardless of being asked back, they have unequivocally moved on due to various personal and professional reasons, including family dynamics and challenges related to their farm.

The couple shared insights into the challenges they faced during the filming of the show's 25th season, describing it as a tough experience. Tori mentioned the difficulty of investing in a project they no longer believed in, making the past year particularly challenging for them.

Despite their dedication, they acknowledged that their hearts were no longer fully invested in the series.

'Little People, Big World', which premiered on TLC in March 2006, has captivated audiences with its intimate portrayal of the Roloff family's daily lives in Oregon. Much of the show's focus has centered on family heads Matt and Amy Roloff, along with their son Zach, all of whom have dwarfism. With the departure of Zach and Tori, the dynamics of the show are set to undergo a significant transformation.

Tori emphasized that their decision to leave the show was heavily influenced by their three children: daughter Lilah Ray and sons Jackson Kyle and Josiah Luke. The couple expressed gratitude to their crew and producers while expressing excitement for the new chapter ahead.

As fans bid farewell to Zach and Tori Roloff's journey on 'Little People, Big World', they look forward to witnessing the couple's continued growth and adventures beyond the realm of reality television.

Internet abuzz as Zach and Tori Roloff confirm exit

The news of Zach and Tori Roloff bidding farewell to 'Little People, Big World' has ignited a flurry of reactions across the internet.

Opinions were divided, with some expressing nostalgia for the earlier seasons of the show when the Roloff family was at its peak, while others lamented the perceived decline in recent years.

One Facebook user fondly reminisced about watching the children grow up on screen saying, "It's a shame the family fell apart. I enjoyed watching the kids grow up. It was one of the best shows on TLC. Now, the only shows on are about pitiful people. 90Days, 1000#, etc. Not surprising. Everything went downhill when the network was sold." 

However, another user questioned the relevance of the show in today's television landscape, suggesting, "What are their jobs? Besides the show? Curious." 

A user wrote, "It’s be a y’all criticize their every thought and movement. The show was great when the kids were young and the family was poorer." Someone else noted, "This shows been done for about 8 seasons….Time for something new."
