Zach and Tori recently talked about how much their older children love helping with Josiah. The couple also talked about how easy of a baby he is.
Since Josiah’s arrival, LPBW fans have been flooding Tori’s comments sections with just one question. They have been curious to know whether Josiah has dwarfism. Now, the couple has decided to share the truth with fans.
LPBW star Tori Roloff reveals her son Josiah’s diagnosis.
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Zach and Tori Roloff revealed that Josiah has dwarfism. The couple has made it very clear that this is “not his identity.”
Zach explained, “He’s Josiah. He has achondroplasia, but he’s not, like, Josiah the achondroplasia.” Achondroplasia is the same form of dwarfism that Zach, Jackson, and Lilah have.
Tori added, “Just like I’m Tori, I have brown hair. I’m not a brunette — like, that’s not how I would classify myself.”
Fortunately, over the years, the Roloffs have gained a lot of knowledge about achondroplasia and discovered helpful resources, as LPBW fans have seen on the show.
Because of this, they know what to expect going into this. It’s not all new to them. Tori explained, “It’s so normal to us. We have so many resources and there’s a lot of parents out there who don’t have the same resources and … don’t have the same confidence in everything that Zach and I do.”
Ultimately, fans, friends, and family are thankful that Josiah arrived safely and that he’s a healthy baby boy. And Tori and Zach have committed to continuing to be advocates for individuals with dwarfism.
Zach said, “We will definitely be advocates for people with dwarfism cause of our kids.”
“Forever,” Tori confirmed.
