Where Are the Alums of ‘Breaking Amish’ and ‘Return to Amish’? Updates on the Former Stars

Abe Schmucker

While Abe Schmucker is not on social media Rebeca has proven that the pair is still going strong. “My favorite person,” she captioned a photo of the pair via Instagram in February 2023, which showed them cuddling up to each other while spending time outside in the winter weather.

Rebecca Schmucker

In addition to sharing insight into her marriage with Abe, Rebecca Schmucker has given rare glimpses into what her life is like as a mother of two daughters.

Mary Schmucker

Abe’s mother, Mary Schmucker, was featured on both Breaking Amish and Return to Amish. Even after Abe and Rebecca left the spinoff, Mary continued to star on Return to Amish until she announced her exit in March 2022.

“I’m not coming back on TV, but a lot of the others went back. I would love to come back on TV, but there’s too many issues that won’t work for me,” the Pennsylvania native during an Instagram Live video at the time. “I would like to come back, but come back as we are doing now. I feel we should do a story like what happened after the show, where we are now and what happened to us, so people know, but they don’t want to do that.”

Just one month after the announcement, Mary experienced a major health scare.

“I just want to give a little update,” she wrote via her private Tupperwear sales Facebook group in April 2022. “As you know I have colon cancer and I am scheduled for surgery this month.”

Mary shared more details about her diagnosis during an Instagram Live on April 8, 2022. “I wanted to talk a little bit about my surgery. I kind of wanted to cancel but I guess I’m having my surgery in a couple weeks,” she told her followers. “I’m going to need your help when I’m recuperating. I need somebody to talk to, so I’ll probably jump on here quite a bit.”

Despite still battling cancer, the former reality star appears to be in great health and good spirits. She is still active on social media and hosted an Instagram Live on March 7, 2023.

Kate Stoltz

Kate Stoltz appeared on the first two seasons of Breaking Amish and the first three seasons of Return to Amish.

Since quitting the reality shows, Kate has distanced herself from the franchise. However, she has kept busy by working as a fashion designer in New York City. She even has her own brand, which sells cashmeres, women’s wear, accessories and art.

Kate actively documents her fashion career and international travels with her 95.4K Instagram followers.

Chester Schmucker

Mary’s husband, Chester Schmucker, began starring on Return to Amish during season 1. During his brief time on the show, fans watched Chester navigate life in the Amish community after both Abe and Mary left to live in the English world. While he tried to balance both lifestyles, he eventually returned to the Amish community when he learned their plans to shun him.

Chester isn’t currently on social media, so not much is known about what he’s up to today.

Katie Ann Schmuker

Another one of Abe’s family members to appear on Return to Amish was his sister, Katie Ann Schmuker.

Not much is known about what Katie Ann, who continues to live in the Amish community, is up to today. She tied the knot in May 2019, though Abe and Rebecca weren’t in attendance due to their decision to leave the community.

In April 2020, Rebecca announced via Instagram that someone from the show was pregnant. “Can you guess who is due very soon? ITS NOT ME! Boy or Girl? [sic],” Rebecca captioned the post, later revealing that Katie Ann was expecting.

Andrew Schmucker

Since leaving his reality TV career behind him, Andrew Schmucker is now living a relatively quiet life in Sharon, Pennsylvania.

He describes himself as a “hardworking” man in the bio included on his personal Facebook page. However, his current job is not listed.

Andrew married fellow Return to Amish alum Chapel Peace Schmucker on May 10, 2014.

Chapel Peace Schmucker

Fans watched Andrew and Chapel’s relationship play out on Return to Amish. Since leaving the show, Chapel has had several run-ins with the law.

She was one of 27 people busted in Pennsylvania after authorities seized $8,400 of heroin, more than $90,000 of meth and more than $27,000 in cash in March 2016, according to TMZ. After she pleaded guilty to conspiracy/manufacture and delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver, the former TV personality negotiated a plea deal and was released, according to court documents obtained by In Touch.

Chapel continued to face legal problems in January 2013 when she pleaded guilty to littering near waters and was required to pay a $209.53 fine, according to online dockets obtained by In Touch.

Then in April 2013, Chapel pleaded guilty to driving an unregistered vehicle and paid two separate fines of $25 and $103.50. Three months later, she pleaded guilty to two counts of use and possession of drug paraphernalia. Chapel remained at the Jefferson County Prison from July 24, 2015, until August 11, 2015, because she was originally unable to post bail. However, she was eventually released on $50,000 bail. She was cited for violating probation in August 2015. Following her release from jail, Chapel was prohibited from consuming alcohol and entering any business that sold alcohol.

Chapel currently makes a living by working as a line cook at Perkins Restaurant & Bakery, a cook and cashier at local bar and grill Jai-Alai and a shift supervisor at Denny’s.

The cancer survivor revealed she had a “clean bill of health ”following an appointment at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center in October 2022.

Rosanna Miller

Rosanna and her boyfriend, Johnny, are currently living in the English world as they raise their daughter, Clara Rose. The reality star plans to have more children in the future, but likely won’t start trying to become pregnant for at least three years, according to Soap Dirt.

Despite leaving their Amish lifestyles behind, both Rosanna and Johnny still have family members who they visit that are living in the community.
