In a sad turn of events, Ethan Plath and Olivia Plath have confirmed the rumors that have been circulating for a while now – their marriage is indeed over. On Friday, Olivia took to Instagram to share the unfortunate news, simply stating, “Ethan and I have decided to go our separate ways.” It’s a heartbreaking end to their five-year journey together.
Olivia went on to share more about their decision, reflecting on their younger selves and the dreams they once had. She wrote, “I have ambivalent memories of us being 18 years old, innocently dreaming of forever – but the partner you choose is a reflection of the world you want to live in, and at 18 I didn’t know who I was or what kind of life I wanted to create for myself.” It’s a deep and contemplative statement that doesn’t sound like someone who is still in love.
It’s interesting to note that over the past summer, fans started noticing that Ethan and Olivia hadn’t been posting about each other on social media for a while. This lack of public acknowledgment hinted at trouble within their relationship. Olivia further implied things weren’t great by expressing her acceptance of the way things were turning out. She said, “7 years later, I’ve already begun my journey of questioning, deconstructing and rebuilding, and I know this is a process that I will continue to prioritize throughout my life.” Her words convey a sense of detachment from Ethan.
The highs and lows of Ethan and Olivia’s relationship have been documented on the TLC reality show Welcome to Plathville. Although they got married in 2018, there were times when they took a break from each other. In a 2021 episode, they revealed their search for space as they contemplated the future of their marriage. Olivia even decided to move out of their shared home at one point. Tensions escalated when Ethan’s siblings expressed their disapproval of Olivia, leading to a joint statement against her in August 2022.
Despite the end of their marriage, Olivia had a few kind words for Ethan in her Instagram post. “Thank you for the good times,” she wrote. “I wish the best for you.” Meanwhile, Ethan also addressed their split on his own Instagram, acknowledging that despite their efforts, things didn’t work out between them. He shared, “It seemed we were constantly pulling each other in opposite directions in life with different goals. I wish Olivia the best in the future ahead. I care for her deeply and always will.”
This divorce speculation gained traction when Olivia’s sister, Sophia Meggs, claimed in June that Ethan and Olivia were in the middle of a divorce. At the time, Olivia denied the claims, stating that Sophia wasn’t a reliable source for her personal information. She emphasized that if there was something to share, they would do so themselves. Sadly, it turns out Sophia was right.
It’s heartbreaking to see a relationship come to an end, especially one that has been documented for all to see. Ethan and Olivia Plath’s journey on Welcome to Plathville has taken viewers through their ups and downs, and now, unfortunately, it seems their story has reached its conclusion. We can only hope that both Ethan and Olivia find happiness and fulfillment in their separate paths moving forward.
