LOVE NEST Welcome To Plathville’s Kim Plath moves into boyfriend Ken’s $609K Florida home 1 year after split from husband Barry
WELCOME To Plathville star Kim Plath has moved into her new boyfriend Ken Palmer’s $609,000 Florida home, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal.
Kim, 51, and her ex Barry, 55, announced their split in June 2022, and by May 2023, she had already moved on with Ken, 57, as she left the $663,000 Georgia farm to share a $609,000 home in Florida.
Kim Plath has moved in with her new boyfriend Ken Palmer
According to documents obtained exclusively by The U.S. Sun, Ken bought the four-bedroom, four-bathroom log cabin-style home in 2017.
Kim has the same home listed as her main address on documents, but her name is nowhere to be found on the deed.
The Welcome to Plathville star’s new home is 3,485 square feet and sits on five acres of land.
Kim and Ken’s backyard includes an in-ground pool, a two-stall barn, and a small lounge patio.
A large majority of the home is made out of wood, and it all sits on one floor.
It’s likely Kim quietly moved in sometime between when her divorce was announced in June 2022 and this past winter.
BARRY WHO?
Ken began posting couple photos with Kim on Facebook by March 2023.
He has updated his profile on several occasions to show off both of their smiling faces, making their relationship status public.
Ken’s friends have gushed in his Facebook comments: “You guys are made for each other, good luck.”
Another friend shared: “Beautiful couple.”
A third commented: “You guys look happy together.”
FAMILY FEUD
It appears Ken may have had a little overlap with the rest of Kim’s family as he has photos on Facebook taking one of Kim’s sons, Isaac, 17, for a flying lesson back in May 2022.
Kim’s new boyfriend used to be an aircraft technician for Delta Air Lines.
He also posted photos hanging out with the entire Plath clan – including Kim’s ex, Barry.
In April 2022, before Kim and Barry’s divorce was announced, he posted a photo of the exes standing proudly beside a few of their younger children.
Ken captioned the post: “Hanging out with the Plath crew tonight.”
Kim and Barry share nine children and raised them all with strict traditional and conservative values on their large farm in rural Georgia.
HAIL MARY?
The U.S. Sun previously reported Kim was arrested on October 20, 2022, from a June 10 incident for driving under the influence, property damage, and personal injury in Florida.
Back in May, InTouch first reported that Kim’s case was reopened on April 3, 2023, when the reality star filed an order to dismiss the impoundment and immobilization of her car.
According to court documents, Kim identified Ken as her boyfriend and explained he even co-signed another vehicle in her name.
Ultimately, the motion and subsequent hearing were canceled and the case closed on April 14.
InTouch reported Kim’s DUI case was initially closed in March 2023, when the TLC star was found guilty.
Welcome to Plathville’s Season 5 premiere will air Tuesday, September 5 on TLC at 10pm EST.
