Moving on isn't easy. In the new season 6 trailer for TLC's Welcome to Plathville , fans get to see Olivia and Ethan Plath moving on in their romantic life following their October 2023 split. "Dating after marrying the first guy that you ever even held hands with is wild," Olivia says in the new trailer as a series of suitors approach her.
As for Ethan, he too is struggling with the dating scene. "It's intimidating a little bit to approach a beautiful woman," he admits. The former couple comes face-to-face several times throughout the trailer, including one tense scene where Olivia says that Ethan was always going to choose his family over her.
"That's because you made me choose," he insists. Ethan later confront Olivia, saying, "I don't understand how you can move on so easily after seven years," to which she replies, "Who said it was easy?" And Olivia meets up with Ethan's sister, Moriah Plath, to express that she "really did love your brother," prompting Moriah to reply, "I know." The split seems to be attributed to Olivia's tension with Ethan's family.
At one point during the trailer, matriarch Kim Plath says, "There's a whole bunch of things I'd love to talk to Ethan about," though that reunion is not shared. In October 2023, the former couple publicly shared the news that they were divorcing after five years of marriage. At the time, Ethan posted on Instagram, writing, "Olivia and I have parted ways.
It just didn't work between us, though Lord knows we both gave it all .
