Little People, Big World star Tori Roloff addressed pregnancy rumors in a powerful Instagram post on Wednesday, October 17.
The 27-year-old spoke out two days after her father-in-law, Matt Roloff, shared a video in which some fans thought they spotted a baby bump. “No, I’m not pregnant,” Tori began in an Instagram post. “Yes I love baggy clothes and food. What if I was a woman who couldn’t get pregnant? What if I was a woman who had body image issues? Asking a woman if she’s pregnant can be extremely damaging.”
Luckily, Tori was not offended. The TLC personality, who shares son Jackson, 17 months, with husband Zach Roloff, knows people are “eager” to see her family grow. “You guys just want to see us make more adorable babies like baby j,” she wrote. “However, I hope you think twice about asking a woman ‘are you pregnant?’ Or ‘when’s the next one coming?’”
Tori then reminded her nearly 850,000 followers that some couple’s may be dealing with infertility. “You don’t know what’s going behind closed doors in anyone’s life,” she pointed out. “I say this because time and time again I’ve watched my own friends and family struggle with having a baby and I know how much it hurts every time this question is asked.
The former kindergarten teacher noted that when she and Zach, 28, are expecting their second child they will “share on our own time and in our own way.” But for now, she urged fans to hang tight. “No one wants to see baby j be a big brother more than I do,” she concluded. “But let’s wait patiently together.”
The couple tied the knot in July 2015.
