Little People, Big World stars Zach Roloff and Tori Roloff recently shared their emotional journey through a miscarriage in 2021. The couple discussed this heartbreaking event and its impact on their lives, especially before the arrival of their son, Josiah Roloff.
Tori Roloff’s 2021 Miscarriage
Tori shocked the Little People, Big World community when she revealed she had experienced a miscarriage in 2021. This tragic news was devastating for Tori, Zach, and their entire family. The couple revisited this painful episode in an episode of their podcast, Raising Heights.
Over the past few years, Tori and Zach have had time to heal, grieve, and move forward. They now have a thriving family of five in Battle Ground, Washington, but the loss still profoundly affects them.
Opening Up About Their Loss
On the Raising Heights podcast, Tori spoke candidly about her experience:
“I can remember just being so mad at my body after that. I had what was called a missed miscarriage, which means that my body didn’t realize that the baby passed on. So I was left with the decision of how to move forward because it had been three weeks, because that’s where the growth had stopped.”
Zach added his perspective on the experience:
“Three kids, you get kind of excited, you announce it a little earlier. You get a little bit more excited and you jump ahead a little bit. That’s what I remember telling the TV people, the family.”
Controversial Views on Abortion
While discussing their miscarriage, the sensitive topic of abortion arose, sparking mixed reactions. Tori expressed her views:
“To me, when you get pregnant, that’s a baby, you know, and so when we lost that baby, it was like, we just lost a part of our family.”
While many fans sympathized with Tori and her family’s loss, not everyone agreed with the couple’s stance on abortion. Tori elaborated on her feelings:
“After what I went through losing my baby, I said: ‘I’m not OK with this. I don’t understand how someone could choose to be in that room.’”
Despite the backlash, Tori and Zach acknowledged that there are special circumstances where abortion might be necessary. They emphasized that discussing such a divisive issue publicly would inevitably attract some pushback.
Tori urged listeners to hear the full podcast episode to understand their views in context, rather than forming opinions based on soundbites.

Zach and Tori Roloff’s candid discussion about their miscarriage and their views on abortion has sparked both empathy and controversy among Little People, Big World fans.
