Little People, Big World's Amy Roloff Is Officially Engaged To Chris Marek
Rumors of a Little People, Big World engagement have been swirling for the last week, since matriarch Amy Roloff posted pictures from her granddaughter's birthday party.
The image that got the Internet talking showed Roloff with granddaughter Ember, and as adorable as the picture was, what fans really zeroed in on was Roloff's hand, where they spotted a sparkler gracing that all-important finger (though eagle-eyed sleuths pointed out the ring was actually on her right hand, not her left).
This wasn't the first time Roloff had been spotted wearing the ring, either, and had previously shut down rumors in July saying, "No big news. It's a ring I had remade from a ring I already had. It's on my right finger" (via PopCulture).
Were Amy and boyfried Chris Marek actually secretly engaged? Speculation has been running rampant as fans wait for an official announcement of the couple's engagement, and the wait is finally over.
What does Amy Roloff's engagement ring look like?
People reports that Marek finally popped the question on September 18 at one of the couple's favorite restaurants, just a day after Roloff's birthday.
Of her recent engagement, Roloff enthused, "I'm excited, I'm so surprised, I'm thrilled! I never in a million years thought I'd be getting married again, but I also hoped for it! Now that it's happening, I couldn't be happier or more excited."
Marek gave fans a little insight into what her new sparkler looks like, saying, "I was very nervous! It had to be a heart shaped diamond because I knew that's what Amy wanted."
The couple have been dating since 2016, and viewers have watched their relationship evolve on the show since Amy's divorce from ex-husband Matt Roloff. Earlier this year, speaking to People on the topic of marriage, she said, "If by chance I get to do that again, I would still put everything that I can, as best as I can, to make it work."
Will we get to see Chris ask for Amy's hand in the new season of Little People, Big World? Will Amy and Chris let fans see them walk down the aisle at Roloff Farms, as Roloff's children have done? Time will tell, but viewers will have to wait until spring to find out.
