LPBW’ Tori & Zach Roloff Talk About Shocking & Tragic Miscarriage
In a recent episode of their podcast Raising Heights, Little People, Big World stars Tori and Zach Roloff candidly discussed Tori’s heartbreaking miscarriage in 2021. This tragic event shocked not only their family but also the entire Little People, Big World community. The couple delved into how this trauma impacted their lives and the way they processed their grief before welcoming their son, Josiah Roloff.
Tori shared the painful experience of what is known as a “missed miscarriage,” where her body didn’t realize the baby had passed, leaving her with a difficult decision after three weeks of uncertainty. She expressed, “I remember just being so mad at my body.” Zach added that with their excitement for a growing family, they announced the pregnancy a bit prematurely, which made the loss even harder to bear.
Navigating the Emotional Fallout
During their podcast, Tori explained, “When you get pregnant, that’s a baby. Losing that baby felt like we lost a part of our family.” Their open discussion about loss took a controversial turn when the topic of abortion emerged, a subject that tends to spark intense debate. Tori articulated her strong feelings, saying, “I don’t understand how someone could choose to be in that room.”
While many fans sympathized with the couple, some criticized their views on abortion, arguing that their perspective seemed out of touch. Tori, however, maintained that their views are based on personal experience and encouraged listeners to hear the full context of their discussion before forming opinions.

She reflected on her feelings of anger, sadness, and fear during that period, expressing gratitude for the support she received from Zach, who has been a steadfast rock throughout this journey.
Despite the pain of their loss, the Roloffs found solace in their growing family, celebrating the joy of their two healthy children and the arrival of baby Josiah in April 2022. Tori concluded her reflections by acknowledging their blessings, stating, “We have two kids who we can snuggle and love every day.”
