Tori Roloff shared some great news with fans and followers — she and husband Zach Roloff are expecting a third child in the spring. The Little People, Big World stars couldn't be happier with the announcement, especially since they had to heal from some grim news earlier this year.
The current mom of two chose to share the big news on Instagram. The picture showcases plenty of fall leaves, along with a small board that reads "Baby Roloff #3 coming Spring 2022."
"We are so excited to share some exciting news with you!" she wrote. "Baby Roloff will be joining us this spring and we are so grateful to God for this sweet gift!"
Tori and Zach are currently the parents of son Jackson Kyle, 4, and daughter Lilah Ray, 2. Earlier this year, they announced a devastating miscarriage that set back plans to continue building their family. The news was first revealed this past March.
The couple explained that they were waiting to share the news, but their first ultrasound appointment made it clear that the pregnancy wasn't viable. While this is a common thing that happens, it's a heartbreaking experience to go through. It's also something women often don't share, yet should.
"We were so excited to share some exciting news this week," she wrote months back. "We were so excited when we found out we were expecting baby #3, and we couldn’t wait to share. We went in for our first ultrasound at 8 weeks and found out that we lost our sweet baby two weeks earlier."
"I've honestly never felt loss like I did in that moment," she explained. "I've never felt so sad, angry, and scared in a single moment. I had no symptoms of losing [our] sweet angel baby and nothing could have prepared me for hearing our sweet baby was gone. However, I also thought about how the first face our little girl or boy got to see was Jesus."
"I'm so upset that I never got to see their face but I rest in knowing he or she is with our savior and I will meet them one day," she continued. "My husband has been my unwavering rock through this whole journey. He has been by my side through it all and I couldn't have done it without him."
The couple have been together since 2010 and made it official with marriage in 2015. "We were both too shy to really approach one another, but we had both told a fellow coworker we thought the other was cute!" Tori told The Knot, per In Touch Weekly. But eventually, Zach found the courage to ask Tori on a date, and they've been together ever since.
Throughout this time together, their relationship has only gotten stronger. It seems like they've been devoted to each other from the start. "It's crazy how fast it goes. It's just crazy," Tori revealed to Entertainment Tonight on the many milestones they've witnessed together since they first met.
Zach admitted that, at first, things were a little bumpy between the two since he had no real relationship experience. But everyone has to start somewhere — and it seems like Tori wasn't going to let that get in the way.
"I was like, I never dated. She was my first kiss. I was focused on soccer," he recalled.
"Then I'm like, 'All right, I guess I'll … Let me see. Let's see what this is all about, dating,'" he continued. "And then I was like, 'All right, one and done.' I love Tori and it was solid." Sometimes, all you need is one relationship to know you've found your soul mate.
So how do they manage to stay strong when bad news comes their way? According to Zach, "Tori and I feel like we're both pretty good communicators." Being able to communicate with your partner is key, and it's likely also why they make such a loving parenting team — even when cameras are around.
