Matt Roloff got to reunite with his newest grandson, Josiah, in this week's episode of "Little People, Big World."
In Entertainment Tonight's exclusive sneak peek of the upcoming episode of the reality series, Matt reconnected with his son Zach amid their ongoing dispute to spend time with Josiah, whom Zach and his wife Tori welcomed in April. The couple also shares Jackson, 5, and Lilah, 3.
"Now, hi," Matt said to the baby in the teaser. "Do you remember meeting me? You didn't have your eyes open."
"Hi, you little cute guy," he told the new little one. "Oh, he's giving me a little smile."
Tori told Matt that Josiah had been grumpy earlier that day. However, the infant calmed down while in the arms of his grandfather.
"We just needed grandpa to be here so we weren't so grumpy," Tori said in the promo.
At one point in the teaser, Matt can be seen balancing Josiah in his lap as they discuss the baby's milestones.
According to Tori, Josiah "knows mom and dad and Jackson." However, when it comes to his sister Lilah, Tori said their youngest child is "a little bit more like, 'Are you going to come at me?'" Despite this, she insisted that Josiah adores his older sister.
"Josiah's starting to get very alert, and he's becoming like a little human," Matt added. "He's just healthy and he looks like he's ready to take on the world. I think he's going to give Jackson a run for his money."
The family reunion took place outside, near a river on Zach's property. He, his wife Tori and their children relocated to Washington last year after Matt refused to lower the price on a Roloff Farms property where Zach and his family had wanted to stay.
The incident led to their feud, and the father and son's relationship has remained tense ever since. "It's still pretty tough, yeah, it's a tough situation," Zach said in October, according to ET. "I don't think responsibility has been taken, but, again, we're just raising our family."
But during their latest reunion, it seemed that Zach and Matt's relationship has improved. Matt praised his son's home, particularly the bridge he built over the river.
"Wow, doesn't that look good," Matt said as he approached it.
According to Zach, he has been working on the bridge for a while now and is excited that it's almost done.
"It's cool being able to show a project that I've done on my own property, by myself. I know [Matt's] into bridges and he's done a lot of bridge builds himself over the years," he added.
Matt didn't hide how proud he was of his son. "This is super nice," he gushed. "When that water's flowing, this bridge is going to be the bomb. I'm happy that Zach is developing his own memories that remind me a lot of the memories that he had as a kid."
Matt was previously married to Amy Roloff, and they share four children — 32-year-old twins Zach and Jeremy, Molly, 29, and Jacob, 25. Amy married Chris Marek in August 2021, while Matt is in a relationship with Caryn Chandler.
"Little People, Big World" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST on TLC.
