BATTLE GROUND, WASHINGTON: 'Little People, Big World' Season 25 star Zach Roloff recently moved to a  $1M Washington home with his wife Tori and their kids. However, his life took a sudden turn when he faced a major health scare. Although fans will soon learn about Zach's emergency brain surgery in the upcoming season of the TLC show, he previously provided an update on his health.

He has been enjoying his post-surgery life and recently celebrated Valentine's Day with his wife, Tori Roloff. In February 2023, Zach took to his Instagram and shared a sweet photo with his kids. Alongside the photo, Zach revealed that he was on the 'road to recovery' after undergoing a shunt revision surgery to drain fluid from his brain. He added in the caption, "The shunt is always been something I’ve had but became very real this past week for our family."

He then expressed his gratitude for his wife, Tori, "for being the rock this week in our family and rallying the kids" as well as his mother for checking on him "twice in the night so I could go to the ER." He added, "And the doctors and nurses at the hospital who advocated for me and continue to advocate and care for their patients every day."
