What's Jacob doing these days?

I haven't kept up with the Roloff's for a few years and was wondering where Jacob is now. Do they ever talk about him on the show?

He's living in California and that's about all they say.

He has a problem with how much he got paid from the show, plus he stated that all the family Luv is just staged for the show, and they aren't really like that

Actually he said the family drama was staged. That it was scripted. He spends plenty of time with his family, often watching them be filmed. And then hangs out after. Like Molly graduation. Why did Amy fly by herself? She didn't. Jacob and his girlfriend had come to depend Mother's Day with her and then made the trip with her.

I check out his Instagram account sometimes. He seems pretty happy. Living in Cali with his girlfriend (I think her name is Isabel) and their two dogs. He likes and gets on with his family very much but sees the show as fake. That those Roloffs that we see on TV aren't his family but are characters and he wants nothing more to do with the show and will never appear on it again. He also is very much into the works of the late Author Alan Watts after reading all his books last year.

That it was scripted.

It still is scripted. I don't blame him, having to act or turn it "on" for the cameras seems awkward and strange for some people. Then to create fake drama and lie on camera is not for everyone. You can see their faces sometimes when drama unfolds that it's so fake. Matt has a certain look of "okay here I go, insert line to make Amy angry" and then he looks away. It's classic. I found a quote from a realty show article : "You don't do a reality show when things are working out."

Is this the Spiritswanderer with the website? Great website by the way, if you are the same person.

The entire dramatic exit by Jacob that was on the show didn't match Jacob's Instagram posts, or Amy's Facebook posts. Both have posted a lot of pictures of Jacob with the family.

Yeah Thanx for that correction, it had been awhile since I heard why Jacob left the show, and u r correct it was staged drama

Buuuut it has to be staged because who would watch a TV show that follows normal people's lives, it would get boring real fast
