Since the first episode of Welcome to Plathville aired, the Plath family has experienced its fair share of ups and downs.
Barry Plath, Kim Plath’s estranged husband, who announced their separation in June 2022, shot to popularity when the TLC reality series Welcome to Plathville debuted in November 2019. The documentary series follows Kim and Barry as they raise a large family in rural Georgia, including Ethan, Hosanna, Micah, Moriah, Lydia, Isaac, Amber, Cassia, and Mercy.
Timothy Noble, Hosanna’s husband, and they haven’t participated in the reality TV program. The Plaths, who formerly had their own family band, now live remotely and adhere to a stringent set of rules, which forbids watching TV or consuming soda.
The family had been close for years, but things reached a bump before Ethan’s 2018 wedding to Olivia Plath (n e Meggs) when the future bride and Kim had a public disagreement.
The photographer recounted to US Weekly in August 2021, “I knew that I was being controlled in what we were allowed to do and say while we were dating. The night we got engaged is when I distinctly recall things starting to make sense.
As soon as we entered, [Kim] grabbed my hand and examined the ring because she had been waiting up all night for us. Hey, I want to trade rings with you, was the first thing she said. Ok, that’s extremely bizarre, I thought.
Ethan, on the other hand, supported Olivia, saying to Usin in 2021 that his mother appeared to believe that their wedding was all about her. He acknowledged that it simply wasn’t right. After that, after our honeymoon and all that, it was kind of like trying to talk about and figure it out, but it didn’t really work out.

Ethan and Olivia have continued to be at odds with his famous family despite experiencing ups and downs in their marriage.
After reflecting on her argument with her mother-in-law three years later, Olivia informed us in September 2021 that she had improved her limits and had grown more.
I need to be kind to myself for realising that. Yet, there were undoubtedly some of those situations that were just extremely embarrassing.
We were still having trouble establishing boundaries and figuring out where to draw the line between always respecting your parents and not being respected at all. So, I believe that our ability to reflect on the past and adapt comes simply from a place of growth.

After making apologies to Ethan’s siblings, the married pair vowed not to be driven apart by any lingering conflict.
We as a family have chosen to stop being split, according to a message released on Moriah’s Instagram page in August 2022.
The tale is far more complex than what you have all seen on television. We are a family that is full of love and respect for one another, even if we recognize that this is a TV show and that we have no influence over how it is edited. That being said, as a family, we won’t stand by and let ours to be torn apart.
