Roloff was previously married to Amy Roloff for 27 years from 1987 to 2015. They share four children: Jeremy, Zachary, Molly, and Jacob.

“After 27 years of marriage, it is with great sadness that we have come to the difficult decision to file for divorce,” the Roloffs said at the time. “We are proud of what we have accomplished together including raising four wonderful children who have grown to become remarkable adults and building our strong and ongoing successful businesses. Our kids and our ever growing family, and the love and support we have for them, will be our priority. We will continue to work together side by side in the daily responsibilities for our many current ventures. We would like to thank our family, friends and all our fans for their continued support and understanding during this difficult time.”

Nine months after his divorce was finalized in 2016, he debuted his romance with Chandler. She appeared on Little People, Big World alongside the Roloff family. Amy has since found love again with Chris Marek. They married in 2021.
