Bode Roloff Bonds With Uncle Jacob & Cousin Mateo

In a rare photo, Bode Roloff bonds with his uncle Jacob and cousin Mateo. See the sweet photo of the LPBW stars.

Jacob Roloff loved being an uncle before he was a father

As the youngest son of Amy and Matt Roloff, Jacob took his time before having children. He and his wife Isabel welcomed their first child, a son, in late 2021.

However, due to his own upbringing in the public eye, he has no plans at this point to show his son’s face on the internet. When he or his wife posts photos of the newborn, his face is always hidden.

His siblings, Jeremy and Zach, do not have the same reservations about sharing their children’s faces. In fact, Jacob’s brothers often share photos of their respective kids on social media.

Jeremy shares three children with his wife Audrey – Ember, 4, Bode, 2 and Radley, 4 months.

Zach and Tori Roloff have two children with a third on the way. Lilah, 2, is a social media starlet. Jacob’s bond with Jackson, 4, has been well-documented on his Instagram.

However, it turns out that uncle Jacob has a strong bond with all of his nieces and nephews.

Earlier this week, Isabel Roloff took to her Instagram Stories to share a wholesome family moment. “Bode was happy to see his uncle Jacob,” she wrote on the photo.

In the sweet snapshot, only the back of the youngster’s head is visible, as he clings happily to Jacob’s leg.

The LPBW alum appears to be holding baby Mateo. As usual, the baby’s head isn’t shown in the photo. However, it’s clear to see the bond between Jacob and Bode.

TLC plots Little People, Big World return for Season 23

Jacob Roloff left the TLC show in 2016. In late 2020, he made the shocking allegation that he was abused by one of the show’s producers.

A few years after Jacob left, his brother Jeremy also departed the show. Their sister Molly only appeared on the early seasons.

That leaves Zach as the only Roloff offspring still on LPBW. Matt and Amy both remain on the show despite their divorce. Amy married Chris Marek in August of 2020 while Matt continues to date Caryn Chandler. Both Marek and Chandler appear on the TLC show.

Viewers have been anxiously awaiting word from the network of a new season. That news finally came earlier this week when Variety confirmed Season 23 will premiere on Tuesday, May 17.
