Matthew Roloff Parents: Who are Ron Roloff and Peggy Roloff?

Matthew James “Matt” Roloff is an American television personality, author, farmer, business entrepreneur, and motivational speaker best known for participating with his family on the TLC reality television program Little People, Big World.

The show featured the Roloffs’ daily life. Roloff has dwarfism, as does his ex-wife Amy and one of their four children, Zachary. Roloff appeared as an extra in the movie, Under the Rainbow.

He also appeared as an Ewok in the Star Wars TV movie Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. Roloff worked as a computer programmer for Silicon Valley companies including Altos Computer Systems in the late 1980s. He sold systems software to Fortune 500 companies.

Roloff also has a number of other business ventures. On Little People, Big World, he is shown running the business he co-founded, Direct Access Solutions, a company that provides accessibility products for little people in the hospitality industry.

Matthew Roloff’s Parents: Who are Ron Roloff and Peggy Roloff?

Matt Roloff’s parents are Peggy and Ron Roloff, who currently live in California. They first appeared on Little People, Big World back in 2006 during Season 1 of the TLC series, and have occasionally travelled to Oregon to appear on the show or to simply visit off-camera — including for pumpkin season at Roloff Farms.

Viewers experienced a bit of a Ron and Peggy hiatus on LPBW in recent years, likely because Matt and Amy were in the middle of separating and then divorcing.

This happened between their appearance in the Season 13 episode “New Year, Big Changes” in 2014 and a Season 18 episode titled “Four Generations of Roloffs” — during which Matt’s parents travel to Oregon to meet Zach and Tori’s son, Jackson, on the first Father’s Day after he was born.

Although they haven’t been particularly active on social media in recent years, Peggy and Ron are occasionally mentioned via Instagram by members of their family.

In June 2020, Matt gave a shout-out to his dad via Instagram, writing, “Happy Father’s Day and Happy Birthday to my dad Ron (82 years today) and still happy, playful and wise as ever!”

Hopefully, viewers will be seeing more of Matt’s parents on LPBW moving forward — especially if there really is a wedding for Matt and Caryn in the near future!
