However, fans are divided over the news.
Little People, Big World star Matt Roloff is set to be the next reality star to walk down the aisle!
The father of four has proposed to Caryn Chandler, his girlfriend of six years, and she said yes.
The series patriarch, 61, and TLC shared the news together in a joint Instagram post on April 19, featuring a sweet photo of the happy couple. Chandler leaned in to Roloff closely, tucking her left arm under his right to flash her new ring as the pair smiled brightly for the camera.

"She said Yes!" the caption read in part, going on to direct fans to their link in bio for more information.
In the announcement on TLC's website, Roloff revealed that they're "looking forward to a simple but elegant wedding in 2024," intending to just enjoy their engagement for now.
Roloff was previously married to Amy Roloff, 60, for nearly three decades, with the former couple deciding to divorce in 2015. They share twins Jeremy and Zach, 32, Molly, 29, and Jacob, 26, as well as five grandchildren, and have filmed 24 seasons of Little People, Big World since 2006.
Amy went on to marry Chris Marek in 2021.
As for Roloff and Chandler, they reportedly began dating in 2017 after several years of working together—as she is the manager of their farm. Yet, since Amy previously speculated in her book, A Little Me, that the now engaged twosome may've started out as an affair, fans have offered up mixed reactions.
"Have her sign a prenup I don’t trust her," and, "Finally got the cash!!!!!! Smart woman!!!!" were the most gentle of the pushback from fans.
Still, several others came to the couple's defense. "Everyone deserves their happily ever after. Congratulations!" one wrote.
"Why can’t people just be happy for them," another chimed in. "[The] kids have their own lives, Amy has moved on with Chris, why can’t Matt be happy too. Honestly, if you don’t like the guy quit following him."
