Tori, 31, shared photos of her entire family on her Instagram Story on Saturday, leaving commenters buzzing about Jackson, six.
The LPBW star shared a picture of her husband Zach, 33, standing surrounded by kids Jackson, Lilah, and Josiah.
Everyone was wearing matching soccer jerseys after the young Roloff patriarch returned home from a recent soccer-related trip.
Despite the adorable moment, many fans could only focus on one thing: Jackson’s legs.
The tot stood off to one side of his father.
His legs looked significantly bowed in the photo, which was shared on a forum dedicated to the TLC show.
Several fans worried that the curvature of his legs looked “painful.”
The fan who shared the snap commented: “Is there a reason why Jackson hasn’t had surgery to repair his legs, other than Tori not wanting him to have major surgery?”
“This picture breaks my heart for him,” they added.
Jackson did, however, undergo a procedure back in 2021.
The procedure was documented on LPBW, revealing complications the youngster faced.
One commenter referenced that surgery in their reply, saying: “He’s had one surgery, I really think it’s almost pointless ’til he’s not growing so much.
“I wouldn’t keep putting a child through a horrible surgery that’s extremely painful more than absolutely necessary.”
Someone else wrote simply: “It looks painful. Poor kid.”
“Poor thing,” a third fan wrote. “I hope it’s better as he grows.”
A fourth commenter explained: “He did have surgery a couple years ago. It’s not an immediate fix. As he grows the bowing will slowly get better. Tori’s explained it a few times.”
MAJOR WORRY
This is hardly the first time fans have expressed concern for Jackson, however.
The TV personality posted footage of her kids jumping and dancing together, participating in a dance trend.
In the clip, Tori stood at the center of her couch with her three kids in front of her.
As they danced, the lights in the room flickered on and off as each member of the family took turns doing a solo dance with a flashlight in hand.
The music sped up with each solo and the dancing got wilder and wilder.
“Had to jump on this trend. The kids knocked it out of the park!” her caption read.
Fans flooded the comments with praise for the star and her family, noting how well they did.
Others, meanwhile, struggled to see anything but Jackson’s legs once again.“I’m so nervous for Jackson’s legs!!” one person wrote.
A second worried commenter chimed in with: “I look at his legs and it hurts me.”
SHARING THE STRUGGLE
Tori has been open with fans about Jackson’s condition and the struggles he’s faced.
In July, she shared a post that showed Jackson playing basketball with Zach as little brother Josiah smiled on.
Another snap in the post showed Jackson on the court.
He had on a black T-shirt and shorts with red sneakers and appeared to be dribbling the ball as he moved.
Tori captioned the post: “My boys.”
The comments were again filled with worried commenters.
“Dear Lord, please guide Tori and Zach to the right doctor to fix Jackson’s legs,” one supporter expressed.
“Every time I see them, they’re getting worse and worse and worse and that poor little guy has to be in pain from walking on his ankles essentially…”
Tori was quick to respond, explaining: “Not once has my son ever complained or said he was in pain because of his legs. He is under the care of the best doctors and loving parents. Take this stuff elsewhere.”
