Zach Roloff's 3 Kids: All About Jackson, Lilah and Josiah

Zach Roloff is the proud father of his three children: Jackson, Lilah and Josiah.

The Little people, big world star shares two sons and a daughter with wife Tori Roloff, whom he married in July 2015. In addition to their on-screen romance, the couple has also shared milestones with their children.

Zach and Tori’s first child, Jackson Kyle, was born in 2017, and their second, Lilah Ray, followed in 2019. Around the time Lilah started talking, the couple welcomed their third child, Josiah Luke, in 2022.

During a 2020 episode of the long-running TLC series, Zach opened up about fatherhood. Tori went to the spa with her friends and asked her husband if he would agree to take care of the children by himself. Zach not only encouraged his wife, but also shared why it is important for him to spend quality time with his children.

“It’s not babysitting. You’re a dad. Take some responsibility,” he said. – Moms bring something special to the table, dads too.

Like Zach, all three of the couple’s children were born with achondroplasia, the most common form of short-limbed dwarfism. During a 2021 Instagram Story Q&A, Tori, who does not have the disease, opened up about their children’s dwarfism.

“Absolutely not,” Tori wrote in response to a question about whether she wished she could raise a child who didn’t have dwarfism. “I am obsessed with the three children God gave me and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

From their relationship with their siblings to their favorite family activities, here’s everything you need to know about Zach Roloff’s kids: Jackson, Lilah and Josiah.

Zach and Tori’s oldest child, Jackson, was born on May 12, 2017.

“Baby and mom are great, and Jackson has already mastered holding daddy’s finger and cuddling with mommy! He is adorable and Tori and I love being parents,” Zach said in the announcement of their birth.

Shortly after Jackson’s birth, Zach opened up to PEOPLE about his son’s dwarfism, saying there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for his son.

“You have to encourage a dwarf child a little more because it will take him five steps to do what others can do in two,” he said at the time. “But I knew, midget or not, I was going to raise my child with the mentality that not everyone is going to get a trophy. You have to earn it.”

In 2021, Jackson underwent surgery to correct the curvature of his legs. “This kid amazes us again and again. He was so brave and confident. He made @zroloff07 and I so proud as he talked to the doctors and nurses and was wheeled away without a worry,” Tori wrote in an Instagram post after her son’s surgery.

In addition to starring in the TLC series, Zach is also a football coach, so it’s no surprise that Jackson has already taken an interest in this sport.

“I love playing soccer with my dad,” Jackson said during a confessional in a 2022 episode of the reality show. He later added that his favorite thing about playing soccer is “scoring goals.”

Zach went on to explain that they are preparing for Jackson’s debut at the Little People of America (LPA) convention in Washington. “Jackson will be playing in the DAAA football tournament for the first time,” he said, referring to the Dwarves Athletic Association of America.

In an Instagram post in honor of one of Jackson’s 2023 football games, Tori noted that their son was starting to notice that he was short, and his peers were asking “why is he so small.”

“WANT him to know he’s different. But maybe not in the way he thinks he is,” Tori wrote in the caption. “I pray that you will see your differences and use them to change the world. You are different, little one. Different than any child I have ever met, you are unique and I am so proud to be your mom.”

Zach and Tora’s middle child and only daughter, Lilah, arrived on November 19, 2019.

“Zach and I are so excited to introduce you to our sweet baby girl Lilah. She was the perfect addition to our family!” Tori then told PEOPLE.

During the 2022 episode Little people, big worldthe proud parents discovered that their then 2-year-old daughter had spoken.

“There’s mom, dad, Jackson, Lilah, the dog,” Tori said, while Zach noted that Lilah “only says that when we ask her.”

The couple also reported on Lilah’s health, explaining that in addition to being born with achondroplasia, their daughter has strabismus, a condition where the eyes point in different directions.

Zach has a close relationship with his only daughter, which Tori talked about in 2022. Lilah was having trouble sleeping one night, so her dad stepped in to comfort her. Capturing a sweet photo of father and daughter, Tori showed the two sleeping soundly next to each other.

“Best dad ever,” Tori shared via her husband on her Instagram Story. “Daddy just laid down with her and never got up!”

To mark Lilah’s 4th birthday in November 2023, Tori posted a sweet tribute to her on Instagram. Paying tribute to her daughter’s milestone with a series of sweet photos, the mum-of-three wrote: “You are so special to our family. You are sweet, loving and funny. You are the best little sister and big sister! You have grown so much this year with your confidence and independence!!”

In the May 2024 episode of their podcast Soaring with Zach and Torithe couple shared that Lilah will undergo surgery at the end of the month. Tori admitted she was nervous because coming out of anesthesia could be as difficult for Lilah as it was for her older brother, Jackson, when he had surgery in the past.

“Lilah has severe sleep apnea, so she’s going to have her tonsils and adenoids removed, which makes me a little nervous,” she said.

Zach and Tori welcomed their youngest child, Josiah, on April 30, 2022.

The couple expected sibling rivalry after Josie’s birth, but Tori was more than happy to confirm that Jackson and Lilah welcomed their brother with open arms.

“We prepared for jealous moments or for things to go wrong every now and then,” Tori told PEOPLE about her older children’s reaction to their new sibling. “But they literally didn’t. They were both so affectionate and just in love with Josiah and it was so much fun to watch.”

Tori said the older children were also helpful with her baby brother, who was born three weeks premature. “They’re a bit obsessed with him and that’s wonderful,” she said. “It’s just that they’re both very worried about where he is, what he’s doing. They take turns feeding him a bottle and want to bring him blankets and blankets.”

A few months after Josiah’s arrival, the couple was struck by how similar he and Jackson were at similar ages. “I’m pretty sure I gave birth to the same baby twice,” Tori joked as she posted photos of both her boys, showing off their similar blue eyes and facial features.

When Josiah celebrated his first birthday in April 2023, Tori listed some of his milestones in an Instagram post.

“You are the cutest boy ever. You are always so happy and love to watch your family,” she wrote in the description. “You are on the move and ready for any adventure! You love eating and bathing and I love how obsessed you are with your siblings!! I loved falling in love with you last year alone!”

Their celebrations included a western-themed birthday party called “Josiah’s First Rodeo.” In a video posted on Tora’s Instagram, the child giggles as she enjoys a cow print birthday cake.
