After landing the job at Moss Adams LLP in September 2016 Molly moved to Spokane, Washington and rarely appeared on the show. While fans speculated whether or not she cut herself off from her family there might be a simpler explanation.

The Roloff family live in Hillsboro, Oregon which separates her from the family by several hours. She does visit for events and family functions even if she hasn’t featured on the show in a while though.

Fans speculated that perhaps she had a dispute with the show or has cut her family out of her life. However, she proved to fans that she is still close to her family by having her wedding to Joel Silvius in 2017 at the family farm.

Their wedding came a year after their engagement. They held a small service and intimate ceremony on August 5, 2017, at Roloff Farms in Oregon. They exchanged vows under a 100-year-old oak tree that she reportedly used to play under as a child in the woods that surround their farm.

During the ceremony, several of the family’s goats made a special appearance. The couple then shared their first dance as husband and wife. They danced to “You Are the Best Thing” by Ray LaMontagne

After the wedding, her mother, Amy, shared a heart-warming photo of herself and Molly at the farm.

She wrote, “She not only radiates beauty within but outside as well!” the mom wrote in the accompanying message. “Beautiful bride. Molly girl, I love you so much. My little girl grew up and is now beginning a wonderful life [with] her husband Joel.”

Leaving the show

While Molly’s reason for leaving the show was always assumed to be the distance that kept her away from the spotlight, she is not the only Roloff who left. Her brother, Jacob Roloff also parted ways with the show.

He has been outspoken about his reasons for leaving. Jacob took to Instagram to explain that he left because he felt the producers were forcing the show in a direction which was not true to the essence of their family.

“For me, noticing how the agenda of the crew doesn’t work well with the health & happiness of our family is what made me decide quite a while ago that I would not be a part of it as soon as I was able,” explained Jacob Roloff.

Molly has kept quiet about her reasons. However, fans speculate she could have similar feelings as the family is extremely close.
