Everything the Roloff Family Have Said About Amy Roloff and Chris Marek’s Relationship

Love and marriage? Little People, Big World stars Amy Roloff and fiancé Chris Marek have been under the microscope since they started dating. After three years together, the lovebirds got engaged on their anniversary on September 19, 2019.

“Very happy,” Amy’s ex-husband, who is dating Caryn Chandler, told Us exclusively on April 14 about his feelings on her engagement. “I was extremely happy.” Matt revealed that Marek is a “really, really good guy,” adding that “everybody would tell you he really is good for Amy.” He concluded: “He treats her very, very well. From what we can tell, they're really good together. They enjoy each other's company, and they have fun. So I'm very, very happy for them and hope to give them all my blessings in the world.”

“I was not expecting this one iota,” Amy told Us exclusively on April 13, 2020, about Marek’s proposal to her. “I thought for sure, ‘No, this is too obvious. He's not going to do it at this third-year anniversary. We'll still have a great time. It'll all be nice and we're going to look forward to continuing on and everything and maybe he'll surprise me like everyone else during the holidays or something.’ But no. I was totally blown away.”

Marek explained to Us that he was “surprised” that the proposal stayed a secret. “I started the process months in advance, speaking with her dad when I got a chance and I was really concerned that the word would get out before and I'm glad it didn't,” he added.

“They're getting along fine,” Zach told Us exclusively in April 2020 of his parents' dynamic now that they have new significant others. “It's not like they can't be in the same room together.” He joked that double dates between the couples are “probably not” something fans will see on the show anytime soon. “Everyone wants to set up a positive environment for them,” he noted in regard to Amy and Matt's grandchildren. “And so everyone gets along as what they need to.”

“I really wasn't looking to get married again or be in that relationship again at least not so quick,” Amy told Us exclusively in April 2020. “I don't know, I mean, I've been separated and divorced since 2013. But [Chris] came along in 2016, a couple of months after the divorce became final and I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, what in the world?’ So it's unexpected.”

Marek admitted to Us that he was “hesitant” about getting “too serious” with Amy early on, and even asked her if she wanted to play the field for a while before getting into a relationship with him. “I was concerned that maybe she needed a little time to shop around, but lucky for me she didn't,” he said.

“I'm excited for my mom. She has someone, a companion that she will be with for probably the rest of her life,” Zach told Us exclusively in April 2020. “Chris is a great guy. Him and me really get along.” He explained that he plays board games with his future stepfather “all the time" and that the pair “see eye to eye on a lot of things,” which makes him and his wife, Tori, “excited” for his mom’s “new chapter.”

In her current relationship, the matriarch of the Roloff family revealed that she has found her voice once again. “That's what I try and do with Chris is just to do my best at expressing myself, voicing my thoughts and opinions,” Amy told Us in April. “I don't always have the best way, but that other person, or Chris, doesn't always have the best way either. We're just going to have to learn to come together and decide is this really something important to quibble over?” She added: “It's just really finding my own voice as an individual better and having a little more confidence and faith that what I know and what I see and how I perceive stuff is good, too.”

September 2019

Following her September 2019 engagement to Marek, which took place at a restaurant on the couple’s three-year anniversary, Amy told Us exclusively how she felt about getting engaged again. “I’m excited, I’m so surprised, I’m thrilled!” Amy told Us at the time. “I never in a million years thought I’d be getting married again, but I also hoped for it. Now that it’s happening, I couldn’t be happier or more excited.”

“I would definitely love to get married one day, but it’s not something that I’m intentionally pursuing,” the A Little Me author told Us in May 2019, about possibly tying the knot with Marek. “If I say yes, then that means my whole heart, everything is into it … I do think [marriage] is forever.”

April 2019

Zach has been the most vocal about his mom’s new love, telling Us in April 2019 that he and his wife, Tori, “love [both] our parents and we support them.” Zach explained that Amy and Matt’s happiness with their new partners is good for everyone. “We hang out with them, we go out to dinner with them all the time. We get along with Caryn and Chris,” he added.

“We tease each other,” Matt told Us in April 2019 about his ex getting hitched again. “Maybe I more tease you, but behind the scenes, when the cameras aren’t rolling and we’re in the office together, I’d say, ‘Hey, what are we going to do next season? Maybe you should get married. That’d be a good episode.’ ‘No, you get married first.’ So we kind of play that whole game.”

July 2016

Following Amy’s split from Matt, the reality star got a new tattoo on her back to mark the new chapter of her life. Her kids, however, weren’t totally on board with the “Four + More” ink. “Holy smokes! What is that?” Jeremy asked his mom in a July 2016 episode of the TLC series.

“I don’t know — just do what you got to do, Mom,” Zach told the cameras after learning about his mom’s tattoo idea. “Both of my parents are just in their own little worlds lately, and they’re both doing some funky things, so whatever they need to do to feel good about themselves.”

May 2016

“I think there’s an expiration date to how long they can work together like this,” Zach told fans of the TLC series about his parents' relationship post-split, during a May 2016 episode. “If one of them openly starts dating, I think that would be the breaking point.”
