Amy Roloff, at the age of 61, revealed that she was the first to say “I love you” to her husband Chris Marek, preferring to express her feelings through a card during their participation in the “Not-So-Newly Married Game” with Us Weekly. The couple, who tied the knot in August 2021 after five years of dating, held their ceremony at Roloff Farms, a place of significant memories for Amy, including the upbringing of her and her ex-husband Matt’s four children.
Amy Roloff expressed her first “I love you” to Chris Marek through a card, a method she found safer for conveying her feelings, during their participation in the “Not-So-Newly Married Game” with Us Weekly.
Amy Roloff’s first declaration of love to Chris Marek is as heartwarming as you’d imagine. “I might have written it in a card,” Amy playfully hinted during a game with *Us Weekly*. It felt safer than saying it out loud, she thought.
At 61, both Amy and Chris recall that pivotal moment with fondness. Amy initiated those three magic words. The exact timing escapes her, but she’s sure it was through a heartfelt message.
She knew Chris, having never been married or had kids, needed that nudge. “Someone had to say it first,” Amy reflected. For her, waiting for a perfect moment was less important than seizing the right one.
Their love story intrigued many, spotlighting them under the public’s gaze. Three years into dating, Chris proposed at their favorite Oregon restaurant. It was a significant spot, marking their anniversary on September 19, 2019.
Chris sought the perfect moment for his proposal, while Amy preferred the intimacy of a card. This way, Chris could digest the words and gauge his feelings, he joked.
Chris adores Amy’s penchant for giving cards. “She always pens something special,” he gushed, revealing she gives at least three cards for every occasion.
In August 2021, after five years together, Amy and Chris married at Roloff Farms. This venue held memories of Amy’s past life with ex Matt Roloff and their four children. Matt, however, was notably absent from the guest list.
Following her split from Matt in 2015, Amy sold her share of the farm. Matt considered selling but ultimately transformed it into a rental property in 2022. Amy confessed feeling odd about strangers living in her former home on *Little People, Big World*.
“I always imagined a family living there,” she said. Though she understands Matt’s decision from a business standpoint, it’s a bittersweet pill to swallow.
For a deeper dive into Amy and Chris’ love story, their Not-So-Newlywed game offers an intimate glimpse.
