'LPBW' Amy Roloff Has This Reaction After Meeting Ex Matt Roloff's Fiancée For The First Time

"Little People, Big World" star Amy Roloff opened up about her complex emotions after meeting her ex, Matt Roloff's fiancée, Caryn Chandler.

However, an earlier warning from her husband, Chris Marek, hinted at potential tensions surrounding the size of Caryn's engagement ring.

In a candid portrayal of post-divorce dynamics, TLC's "Little People, Big World" showcased a pivotal moment on Tuesday's episode. Amy extended an olive branch by inviting her ex-husband and his fiancée to dinner. 

This gesture marked the threesome's first face-to-face encounter since Matt's engagement news broke. It also captured Amy's struggle with the Roloff patriarch's new chapter in life. 

Seated around the dinner table during the episode, tensions simmered as Matt admitted to feeling apprehensive about Amy's reaction despite her supportive tone over the phone. Amy, on the other hand, navigated her emotions with grace, she confessed to feeling a tinge of discomfort about the situation. 

Describing the moment as "a little funny," the mother-of-four asserted her intention to avoid delving into personal matters concerning her ex-husband, per People Magazine.

In her own words, "Matt's my ex, but you know, I'll be okay as long as we don't get, you know, nitty gritty and personal. Like, I would never talk to Caryn about Matt. I'm glad that she's not, 'Oh yeah, we're doing this together Amy, you know, did you guys do that?'"

However, one potentially tense moment occurred when Amy, with her characteristic directness, asked to see Caryn's engagement ring. After donning her reading glasses to see a little more clearly, the 61-year-old politely complimented the impressive rock, "That's very pretty! Wow!"

Although the episode allowed viewers to witness Amy's acceptance of Caryn, she and her partner, Chris, had a tense conversation behind the scenes.

It happened that Chris cautiously warned his wife about the size of Caryn's diamond ring, prompting speculation and mild amusement from Amy. The reality TV star mused,

"I'm not sure why Chris really wanted to prepare me that the ring that I will see on Caryn' 's finger, you know, 'Oh, the diamond's going to be bigger.' I'm like, 'OK, how much bigger?'"

Despite her husband's warnings, Amy proved she was unbothered by stating, "I mean, you make it sound like it's a rock that covers her whole hand or something. I don't get into all that stuff."

Amy's first meeting with Caryn comes after her ex-husband labeled her a "micromanager."

In an earlier episode, viewers saw Amy taking the reins in organizing a charity event for the Dwarf Athletic Association of America [DAAA]. However, her assertive demeanor elicited a negative response from the group involved.

During the discussion, Amy wasted no time setting the tone and swiftly making decisions about crucial event details, including the date and venue.  However, her decisive approach left Matt uneasy, as he quipped about her tendency to transition from a micro-manager to a "dictator" in the blink of an eye.

Admitting in a confessional, he stated, "Amy, she can cross that line from micro-manager to dictator quicker than me. She can go right there, and you just fasten your seatbelt. She can boss people around with the best of them."

Even amidst his fiancée Caryn's calm acceptance of Amy's authoritative stance, Matt could not help but joke about potentially allowing his ex-wife to plan his own fundraiser. 

Nevertheless, Amy's strong decision-making prowess was evident when she dismissed the idea of a costly tent for the event and instead chose a more budget-friendly approach. 

In a candid confessional with her husband, she defended her take-charge attitude, emphasizing the importance of clear leadership in event planning. Chris also came to the TV personality's defense, citing her wealth of experience as a reason for her leading role in the event organization.

"Well, not only that, out of the four of us, Amy has the most experience so I think it would be better for Matt and I to kind of do the peripheral stuff," he added. 

Last month, fans of "Little People, Big World" were hit with big news when Tori and Zach Roloff announced their exit. The couple shared that they would not be returning for Season 26 on their podcast, "Raising Heights." 

Tori initiated the conversation by asking, "Are we coming back to 'Little People, Big World'?" Zach's response was definitive: "We are not. We made that pretty clear the last cycle." 

His wife added, "But I don't think it's been officially announced to people like we are not coming back to 'Little People, Big World.' We are done. That part in our lives, that chapter has closed."

Moreover, they also expressed their wish to protect their space and that of their three children — Jackson, Lilah, and Josiah.
