FANS of the TLC’s Welcome to Plathville fans have been buzzing about a possible split between stars Ethan and Olivia Plath ahead of the show’s return.
Olivia’s sister, Sophia Meggs-Roberts, previously claimed that the couple had called it quits.
In a claim posted to the social media account Realiteasquad, Sophia said that Olivia and Ethan, both 25, “are in the middle of a divorce.”
But Olivia was quick to shut down the buzz, denying that there was any truth to her sister’s claims.
She responded to the post, urging fans to be cautious about what they believe and where the information comes from.
Olivia said: “A friend informed me of this post so I just wanted to take a second and clarify.

“Sophia is my younger sister, but her and I have a very distant/strained relationship due to our worldviews and reactions to the ultra-religious world we were raised in.”
She continued: “Subsequently, she actually isn’t a reliable source when it comes to my personal information as she doesn’t know about my personal life.”
Olivia addressed speculation about her marriage, saying: “There is a lot of speculation going around, but if Ethan and I had something to share, we would. Thanks!”
She did not, however, confirm any rumors about the end of her marriage.

Still, fans continue to speculate that the pair are headed for divorce, noting several possible clues.
SOCIAL SCRUBBING
Despite her claims that she and Ethan are still a couple, Olivia has scrubbed all signs of her husband from her Instagram feed.
She last shared a photo with him in September 2022.
The pic showed the couple cuddling close together while wearing matching outfits.
Olivia and her husband both had on white T-shirts and distressed jeans.
They were all smiles as they posed together.
The caption read: “Just a little appreciation post for mon amour, who makes my heart smile.”
She then added: “Tu es mon soleil,” French for “You are my sunshine.”
Prior to that post, she shared photos of Ethan in May 2022 as they celebrated his birthday.
STATUS UPDATE?
While Olivia used to share posts marking occasions like Ethan’s birthday and so on, she has not done that in more than a year.
Her last birthday post for her husband was shared in May 2022.
She did not make one in May 2023.
CRYPTIC QUOTES
Olivia has shared a number of cryptic quotes on social media that have raised some eyebrows.
In July, she posted a lengthy poem called: “Things to live for when the world feels hopeless.”
The poem then listed several things, including: “A burst of flowers on a summer day. A birdsong waking you up in the mornings. Watching the clouds and pointing out how they resemble animals. Learning the names of each constellation in the night sky. Meeting more dogs on their walks that run up to you and say hello.
“The days that the cat chooses you and curls up on your lap. Walks in the woods after a storm. The rain giving you petrichor after a long dry week. More cliffs and rivers to meet. More people to hug and know. The astonishment waiting in all the small cracks of life where no one expected anything to grow. Your own wildflower heart that still longs to love this world and all that is in it.
“If nothing else plant a seet. Stay to nourish it. Stay to watch the tree you nurtured grow.”
She captioned the post: “If nothing else, plant a seed.”
In May she posted another poem after the loss of her brother.
The piece of writing talked about happiness, stating: “‘Are you happy?’
“‘In all honesty? No. But I am curious – I am curious in my sadness, and I am curious in my joy. I am everseeking, everfeeling.'”
Olivia wrote in her caption: “I saved this a few weeks ago before my younger brother passed away. I guess the universe knew I would need to hold on to this right now.
“Resting in this space of everseeking, everfeeling. Thank you all for the love.”
Then, back in January, she shared a text post on her Instagram feed about putting “yourself first.”
