On top of it all, Tori also wanted to take the time and give thanks to all of her fans. She says that their support and love throughout the years were highly appreciated.

Sad & Tragic Past
Millions of people noticed that the Roloffs are quite inspirational and strong people. They were able to make their way through many unfortunate things that life managed to throw at them. Despite all the struggles and challenges, they were still able to come out on top. However, there are still some things that people don’t know, and most of them happened before they had a camera focused on them 24/7.
Matt, back in his 2007 memoir entitled Little People, Big Values, revealed that he once had a brother who passed away at a very young age. His late brother’s name was Josh, and he was born with a severe lung and heart defect. Despite it, Matt managed to overcome the sad experience, and he certainly deserves credit for pushing through despite his loss.
Finding Love Again
Many fans of Little People, Big World were extremely saddened and even heartbroken to see Matthew and Amy Roloff go through a tough split. You could say that fans felt that the split occurred right in front of their eyes, and you can’t blame them for feeling negative about it. Fortunately, it didn’t take long before Amy was able to put a smile back on their fans and also on her own face.
It was certainly time for Amy to embark on a new love story, and she found love in her new lover, Chris Marek. This pair confirmed their commitment to each other when they got engaged not too long back in 2019. Two years later, they both got married, and we’re hoping that there won’t be any marriage lawyers intervening between Chris and Amy anytime soon.
Tragedy Strikes
You could say that 2021 showed promise to become happy and joyful for Amy for several reasons. However, despite all the positive things that occurred back in 2021, Amy also faced an unexpected tragedy. Her beloved dog named Felix has sadly passed away. She’s certainly not alone in grieving for her late companion, as millions of fans also share the same sentiment.
Amy shared Felix’s passing through an Instagram post before her wedding. We certainly hope that Amy manages to move on and overcome this tough loss and that she may find solace in the future that awaits her and her new partner. To her credit, Amy has shown us and her fans that she’ll be able to persevere through anything.
The Little Couple
The Roloffs and their hit reality television show Little People, Big World wasn’t the only show on TLC that showcased people of short stature. The network decided to create another show that follows the success that the show had. This show features Dr. Jennifer Arnold and her husband, Bill Klein, and both of them have skeletal dysplasia.
The network named the series The Little Couple, and it kicked off with an homage to Little People, Big World. The first episode was titled Little People: Just Married, and it aired for over an hour. The episode focused on Klein and Arnold’s wedding, and it also introduced them to some degree to the network’s viewers. It’s certainly an interesting series that we’ll surely watch on the network.
Brave Neonatologist
As we said, the first episode introduced viewers Arnold and Klein. It is also pretty clear that the main star of this series is Dr. Arnold. This medical professional and expert stand at 3’2”, and she completed her medical degree and pediatric residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. After her education, Klein decided to move to Texas and start her medical practice in Houston.
Dr. Arnold’s field of medical expertise revolves around neonatology. It’s a subspecialty of pediatrics that aims to provide quality medical care to any infant who feels ill or might be born prematurely. Interestingly, all infants that require any kind of medical assistance can automatically become patients of a neonatologist like Dr. Arnold.
Savvy Businessman
The second star of this new TLC series is the savvy businessman named Bill Klein. He originates all the way from New York, and he stands at 122 cm or four feet. You could say that he’s got an idea about the medical field as he’s known for his work with medical supplies. Besides that, Klein is also a telemarketing businessman.
Klein continued to engage in the same field of work, even when Dr. Arnold made the choice to move to Houston. You could say that he’s secured all the investments he needed to make the move together with his partner. He’s certainly known for being a hard worker, and he’s currently expanding his business portfolio. He’s currently running a pet shop that’s quickly becoming successful around the area.
Tying the Knot
Bill Klein and Dr. Jennifer Arnold officially tied the knot back in 2008, and their marriage is seen in the episode entitled Little People: Just Married. This little couple then managed to continue the story, and the show revolves around their newfound marital life. It also focuses on their decision to relocate from New York City to Houston.
It didn’t take long before these adorable newlyweds faced several unexpected issues that made their move to Houston everything but smooth sailing. Some of the challenges involved finding jobs they liked, and they also had problems finding a comfortable apartment. To their credit, they’ve shown that they’re more than willing to take on any challenge, and they’re certainly perfect for reality television.
Expanding The Family
Dr. Jennifer Arnold and Bill Klein’s condition comes with certain risks when it comes to pregnancy. People of regular size and height don’t usually have anything to worry about. As a result, this lovely couple concluded that having a kid of their own posed too much danger both to Dr. Arnold and the kid. However, it didn’t mean that they would give up on their goal of expanding their family.
Dr. Arnold and Klein certainly deserve a ton of credit for looking for an alternative. They managed to expand their family and adopted children with dwarfism. You could say that they had a good idea about how difficult the entire adoption process is for these kids. Eventually, they welcomed two kids named Zoey and Will.
