Tori’s dad initially disapproved of Zach, but now her entire family likes him more than they like her. Zach’s struggles with PDA stemmed from a “6-inch rule” at his Christian school, which reinforced his need for personal space. Before leaving the show, people questioned Tori’s motives for being with Zach, but they stayed together on “Little People Big World.” Zach Roloff had to win the approval of Tori’s father after they began dating in 2010.

They met while Tori was working on the Roloff pumpkin farm and have been together ever since. They’ll celebrate their 9th anniversary this upcoming July. The couple dated for three years before Zach proposed to Tori in April 2014 and married in July 2015. They started a family shortly afterward and have three children: Jackson, Leila, and Josiah.

Zach and Tori began a podcast called “Raising Heights with Zach and Tori” after they decided to leave the reality show that made them famous. While “Little People Big World” remains popular, Zach and Tori have been making a name for themselves outside the show’s restrictions.

This career shift aligned well with their family’s overall redirection, having relocated to Washington, away from the rest of the Roloff family in Oregon. In season 25 of “Little People Big World,” Karen Chandler, Matt Roloff’s girlfriend, influenced his decision to sell the family farm, causing drama. She has been labeled a gold digger, adding to the show’s ongoing tensions.

On their podcast, Zach and Tori recently released an episode called “The Truth Behind Mixed Height Dating,” where Tori recalls getting ready for her first date with Zach. Her father initially reacted negatively to Zach but was able to overlook their height difference after meeting him. Tori says her entire family now likes Zach more than they like her.

Zach used to struggle with PDA due to the “6-inch rule” from his private Christian school, which stated that people of opposing genders must sit six inches apart. This rule, along with his height, made him accustomed to personal space. Zach still gets nervous when Tori tries to hold his hand in public, but he has grown to appreciate it.

Despite public speculation about Tori’s intentions, their strong relationship with Tori’s family provided them with an emotional support system. Their podcast, “Raising Heights,” is available on all streaming platforms.
