“After six wonderful years together, I asked Caryn to marry me, and she said yes!” Matt, 61, said People in a statement on Wednesday, April 19. “Our plan is to enjoy our engagement, and we look forward to a simple but elegant wedding in 2024.”
The TV personality began a relationship with Caryn, the longtime manager of Roloff Farms, following his split from his ex-wife, Amy Roloffand things got a little awkward.
“Caryn and I have developed a great friendship over the years,” Matt said. LPBW producers in a confessional at the beginning of their relationship in 2017. “His sense of logic and my sense of logic are very compatible.”
“Everyone, I think, has different people that they relate to at different stages of their life. I have no regrets at all looking back on me and Amy’s 26 years of marriage,” added the Roloff patriarch. “We outdid each other in some ways, and now, my heart is open for Caryn.”
While Matt’s family members were originally not enthusiastic about his relationship with Caryn, they have come to accept the couple. One person who hasn’t always been so comfortable with romance, though, is 60-year-old Amy.
