Welcome to Plathville stars Ethan Plath and Olivia Plath have officially filed for divorce, as confirmed by In Touch. The joint paperwork was filed in Carver County, Minnesota, on February 21, with their date of separation listed as February 25, 2023. The reason cited for their divorce was an “irretrievable breakdown” of their marriage. This filing comes after the couple announced their impending divorce on social media approximately four months ago, following months of speculation about their relationship.
In her statement posted on October 27, Olivia wrote, “Ethan and I have decided to go our separate ways.” She reflected on their younger years, saying that at 18, they had dreams of forever but didn’t know themselves or the life they wanted to create. She emphasized her ongoing journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Olivia acknowledged the good moments they shared and expressed her well wishes for Ethan’s future.
Ethan, on the other hand, shared his perspective, stating, “Olivia and I have parted ways.” He acknowledged that despite their efforts, their relationship didn’t work out due to differing goals and constantly pulling each other in opposite directions. Ethan expressed his care for Olivia and his wishes for her future.
Rumors about their marriage began circulating in June after Olivia’s sister, Sophia Meggs-Roberts, claimed that Ethan and Olivia were headed for divorce. Sophia made the comment while discussing the documentary Shiny Happy People, which explored the lives of the Duggar family and the Plaths, who both grew up in conservative religious households. Olivia responded to her sister’s claim, stating that they had a strained relationship due to differing worldviews and reactions to their upbringing. She emphasized that her sister wasn’t a reliable source of personal information and dismissed the speculation.
However, just weeks before the couple’s announcement, Ethan was allegedly seen getting close to a mystery woman at a bar in Minnesota, as shared by a blogger online. Photos showed them dancing and enjoying the live band. Although social media users commented on the encounter, Ethan and Olivia have not addressed any rumors of infidelity.
As Ethan Plath and Olivia Plath navigate their divorce, they have yet to provide further details or address the rumors surrounding their separation. Their fans and viewers will continue to follow their journey and await any updates they choose to share.
