Along with family, Jacob has also shunned reality TV in a new heartfelt Instagram post with Jack Hamill, the 7-year-old star of Our Little Family. “This is Jack. I've never felt I had more of an opportunity to influence someone's life than when I told him how much I didn't like filming when I was his age, so he knows just because the adults say it's what's best, doesn't mean it's what's best,” he wrote.
As for his future, Jacob has said he has no interest in college. “I have a hard time being excited for my friends going to 4-year colleges," he tweeted on August 16. "I think you could learn a lot more for a lot less."
