Tori and Zach Roloff star on a reality television show that documents their lives.
But still.
How well do you feel like you really know these Little People, Big World stars?
The couple manages to be an open book, but it also manages to NOT reveal every single chapter of their story.
With this in mind, we’re put together a list of facts and tidbits that may surprise even the most ardent of Zach and Tori followers.
Were you aware of each of the items listed below?
Tori Worked at Roloff Farms!
It’s true. She met Zach because she was hired in 2010 to help out with the very busy pumpkin season. “A coworker told me, ‘Zachary really thinks you’re cute, but doesn’t think you’ll ever go out with him,'” Tori once told People.
It Was Love at First Sight
Or close to it, at least. “Our first date lasted five hours, and we’ve been together ever since,” Tori told People in this same interview. How sweet, right?
Tori Was Zach’s First
His first GIRLFRIEND, that is. We can’t speak on anything else. But Zach once told People that he “never really dated” before meeting his wife.
The Couple Got Married on TV!
TLC aired the 2015 ceremony; which, of course, was attended by all of Zach’s famous loved ones. “My parents played a huge role in setting up the farm, making it all nice,” said Zach back then, while Tori added: “Matt planted a bunch of wheat fields behind the gazebo. There’s like these huge rolling hills of wheat, which are really beautiful.”
Tori’s Maiden Name is Patton
Nothing too groundbreaking here, we’re just guessing most people didn’t know this.
Tori Cried While Reciting Her Vows
“I commit myself to you, body and soul,” Tori said on her wedding day, promising her new husband “neck rubs” and to try and be a “less picky eater,” while making US cry by concluding: “You are my light Zachary, I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us.”
Tori is a Big Spender!
This was actually the one issue that had Zach concerned prior to the wedding. He once confided to his father that he was concerned that Tori’s penchant for throwing around money could be a”sore spot,” but Matt Roloff simply said: “You’re frugal like your mother.”
An Easter Celebration
This is what we would call one cute and happy family. Tori, Zach and Jackson are sitting around, enjoying their first Easter together.
Tori Was NOT Into Zach’s Proposal
At first anyway. “It happened after a long day of work. It was my turn to drive out to the farm, but of course I was being difficult and wanted to stay home to just chill but Zach was insistent that I come,” Tori once explained. So Tori arrived and Zach dragged her through the field… only to end up at a gorgeous platform on which Zach popped the big question.
Zach Wants More Kids
He has been very open about this, saying on Little People, Big World that he wants to have a “pack” of children someday. We’re sure Tori agrees, but has thus far acted more reticent about getting pregnant again.
Zach Was Once on Tough Enough
You remember that WWE reality show, right? About aspiring professional wrestlers? For whatever reason, Zach once played a game of basketball during an episode.
Tori is a Master at Calligraphy
She generally loved do-it-yourself and art projects in general, but is especially adept at calligraphy.
She Also Used to Work as a Kindergarten Teacher
Not shocking, right? We can absolutely picture Tori, with her patient and kind heart, as the teacher of four and five-year olds.
Tori Was Zach’s First Kiss
How romantic, right? How very very special. Barring an unforeseen circumstance that would leave us very sad, she’ll also be his last kiss.
