Reality star Jade Roper is grappling with a particularly difficult situation: her daughter, Emmy, 8, is experiencing bullying at school. The revelation, shared on October 16th, reveals a complex emotional landscape for the “Bachelor Nation” mom.
Roper explained that the issue has resurfaced despite efforts to address it previously. “Now we found out, after we removed her from certain situations, it’s still happening in a different recreational class, same group of girls,” she revealed, describing the overwhelming “rage and heartbreak.”
The timing is particularly poignant. Emmy just began second grade, a milestone Roper documented on social media with enthusiastic photos of her and her brothers, Brooks, 6, and Reed, 4. Roper’s initial Instagram post excitedly celebrated the occasion, noting, “Where DID all the time go? 🥹🥹🥹 Back to school today!” She shared photos of Emmy, Brooks, and Reed posing on their porch, with Emmy’s chalkboard revealing her aspirations to become an artist. Brooks expressed his desire to be a game developer, while Reed dreamed of becoming a structural engineer – “tower maker.”
However, Roper’s current struggle is compounded by her own past grief. Two years prior, she experienced a miscarriage, a painful memory she continues to carry. In a recent Instagram post, Roper reflected on her lost baby, “Beau,” acknowledging, “Two years without you sweet Beau…Grief is quieter now, but it’s still here, woven into who I am. Remembering the baby I never got to hold, yet still hold in my heart.”
Roper’s family life, marked by love and commitment, has also been featured on social media. Her 10-year engagement to Tanner Tolbert, documented in a heartfelt Instagram post, underscores their enduring bond.
This difficult chapter in Emmy’s life is a reminder of the challenges families face and the enduring strength of the Roper-Tolbert family.
