Little People, Big World's Matt Roloff and Caryn Chandler end engagement
'Caryn and I have decided to part ways & end our engagement,' Roloff, 63, wrote. 'Life's a continued journey and this is the right step for us at this time.' He added that the two remain on good terms, writing, 'We will always appreciate the many wonderful memories we have shared.'
Roloff and Chandler, 58, began dating publicly in 2017, about nine months after Matt finalized his divorce from ex-wife Amy Roloff. The pair got engaged in April 2023, with Roloff announcing they were planning a 'simple but elegant' wedding for 2024.
Their engagement, however, stirred mixed emotions within the Roloff family. During season 25 of the TLC reality series, Matt and Amy's son Zach was notably silent when asked about his father's engagement, responding, 'I don't wanna talk about it.' Amy, 62, also shared her reservations on the show, saying she wasn't sure if she would attend the wedding out of respect for the couple's moment.
In a February 2024 interview with Us Weekly, Amy said her relationship with Chandler had evolved. 'We're cordial, we're respectful. We can be in each other's company,' she explained, adding that filming with her ex and his fiancée had been a 'process.'
Despite the breakup, Matt expressed optimism for the future, thanking fans for their support and committing to move forward 'with positivity and trust in the path ahead.'

Chef apologises after influencer clash shuts down San Francisco restaurant
San Francisco chef Luke Sung has issued a public apology following a viral incident that led to the closure of Kis Cafe. The controversy erupted after a TikTok influencer, known as @ItsKarlaBB, accused Sung of insulting her during a visit to the restaurant for a planned promotional dinner. In her emotional video, which has now amassed more than 20 million views, the influencer claimed Sung dismissed her content and mocked her follower count, which stood at 15,000 at the time. She said the chef told her that her audience wasn't the kind of clientele he wanted at his restaurant and suggested they wouldn't be able to afford the food. Since the incident, her follower count has skyrocketed to over 350,000. @itskarlabb its a long video and not something i would normally upload but i feel like i had to talk about this experience. i basically ran out of there but i wish i would've stood up for myself. if you are a micro influencer i know it's easy to feel discouraged at times but don't let anyone make you feel small or unimportant!! ♬ original sound - itskarlabb The influencer also said Sung scrolled briefly through her page before declaring that her videos weren't good enough to represent Kis Cafe. He allegedly boasted about his own accolades, mentioning a James Beard award, and brought up his daughter's social media following, saying she had 600,000 followers, far more than Karla. 'He basically told me I wasn't on her level,' she said in the video. Sung's apology, posted on Kis Cafe's Instagram, admitted that he had been 'condescending, hurtful, and intimidating.' He added that he had apologised privately to Karla before stepping away from the restaurant completely. 'There are no excuses. I've decided to step away from Kis Cafe permanently,' he wrote. Kis Cafe, which opened just a few months ago, confirmed Sung was no longer associated with the restaurant. On Saturday, it announced its permanent closure, thanking the local community for its support. Yelp and Google have since been flooded with one-star reviews for both Kis Cafe and Sung's previous restaurant, Isa.

Ariana Grande speaks out for Gaza, urges immediate aid access: "Starving people to death is a red line"
Ariana Grande has joined a growing number of global artists raising concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. On Sunday, the singer shared an urgent message with her 374 million Instagram followers, amplifying the Red Line for Gaza campaign calling for unrestricted aid access. One of Grande's Instagram Stories read: 'Starving people to death is a red line. The Israeli government is crossing this red line before our eyes." Photo: Instagram Her statement comes amid intensified international pressure for intervention as the crisis worsens. The Red Line campaign is supported by multiple British and international organisations demanding immediate aid access for civilians. This is not Grande's first time addressing the conflict. In September 2024, she joined celebrities including Dua Lipa, Cate Blanchett, and Ben Affleck in signing an Artists4Ceasefire petition urging former US President Joe Biden to end the 'illegal supply of weapons to Israel.' Other high-profile figures including Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish and Lana del Ray have voiced similar concerns in recent weeks. With over 300,000 people displaced in the region, campaigns like Red Line are focusing attention on the urgent need for food, medical supplies, and safe humanitarian corridors.
