AceShowbiz - Amy Roloff reacts to her ex Matt Roloff's engagement to his new fiancee, Caryn Chandler. In a new episode of "Little People, Big World", Amy appeared to show support for the couple by inviting them over for dinner.
The Tuesday, March 19 episode of the TLC show saw Matt saying that Amy "sounded great on the phone" when he broke the news of their engagement. He, however, wasn't sure if that she would react positively in person.
During the dinner, which also featured Amy's husband Chris Marek, Amy asked Caryn to show her engagement ring. Reaching for Caryn's outstretched hand, Amy gushed, "That's very pretty! Wow!"
In confessional, Caryn admitted that she was "a little apprehensive" over Amy's request. "When Amy asked to see the ring, I would say I was a little apprehensive, you know, who wants to do that? And you know, the moment was just fine and I think she's okay that we're engaged, probably expected it at some point ... she's been really nice about it," she said.
Meanwhile, Amy shared in confessional that she had complicated feelings about her ex's engagement though she was also happy for the couple. "It does feel a little funny to me," she told the cameras.
She added, "Matt's my ex, but you know, I'll be okay as long as we don't get, you know, nitty gritty and personal. Like, I would never talk to Caryn about Matt. I'm glad that she's not, 'Oh yeah, we're doing this together Amy, you know, did you guys do that?' "
Amy and Matt announced their split in March 2014. They filed for divorce the next year and their divorce was eventually finalized in May 2016.
"After 27 years of marriage, it is with great sadness that we have come to the difficult decision to file for divorce," the pair said in a statement to PEOPLE at the time. "We are proud of what we have accomplished together, including raising four wonderful children who have grown to become remarkable adults and building our strong and ongoing successful businesses."
"Our kids and our ever growing family, and the love and support we have for them, will be our priority," they further divulged. "We will continue to work together side by side in the daily responsibilities for our many current ventures. We would like to thank our family, friends and all our fans for their continued support and understanding during this difficult time."
