“Sorry to hear about your dad passing. My condolences to you and your family,” wrote the fan in the heartfelt comment on one of Roloff’s recent videos. While the reality star was grateful for the support, she insisted the report isn’t accurate.
“The good news is that it’s fake news,” she responded. “I’m in Michigan visiting with him right now. So far, he’s doing amazing at 96 years old.”
Fans were relieved to learn that Knight is doing okay, as Roloff has gushed about their close relationship often on her social media page.
In June 2024, Roloff posted a selfie with her dad and celebrated him on Father’s Day. “I can’t wait to see you in late July when I go to Michigan,” she said at the time, adding that she “cherishes each moment” she gets to have with him. “Don’t let moments pass you by. Grab them when you can,” she said.
