Welcome To Plathville: Ethan & Olivia Plath’s Upcoming Fight Proves They “Shouldn’t Be Married”
Welcome To Plathville's Ethan Plath and Olivia Plath have been struggling, and the rest of the season seems to point towards trouble in their future.
Welcome To Plathville season 5 has been skirting around the issue of Olivia Plath and Ethan Plath’s marriage, which has been on the verge of splintering for months, and fans have taken notice. While Olivia and Ethan have yet to address their marital problems publicly, it has been clear that the couple is having problems. Ethan, whose family is the subject of Welcome To Plathville, has been separated from his family after their issues with Olivia have become more difficult to navigate. Ethan and Olivia, who have been married since 2018, have reportedly been facing rough times as a couple. With breakup allegations following them throughout Welcome To Plathville season 5, things have been difficult.
In a preview of upcoming episodes of Welcome To Plathville season 5 (via TLC‘s Instagram page), Ethan and Olivia seem to be struggling with their relationship changing without their understanding. “Why are you this way now? You weren’t this way before,” Ethan asks Olivia about her behavior, ignoring the fact that she’s shocked by his comment.

In a solo interview segment, Ethan explains that “when me and Olivia moved up here to Minnesota, we were in a very good place…that has completely disappeared in a matter of months.” Ethan and Olivia’s relationship seems rife with issues they aren’t sure how to fix. Ethan and Olivia got married in 2018 after just a few years together, and while their relationship has unfolded onscreen, it hasn’t always been easy to watch. Ethan’s family has been tough on Olivia, finding it difficult to deal with her as the couple has grown closer.
Ethan & Olivia Plath’s Relationship Explained
The Plath family has been a source of tension for Ethan and Olivia’s relationship throughout their time together. Welcome To Plathville fans have noticed a shift in the couple, even commenting on Instagram about the couple’s actions in the mid-season trailer. One user, @foofeysauntyray, explained, “They need to walk away now before they hurt each other any further, not all marriages work.” Another user simply said, “They shouldn’t be married.”
While Ethan has been tough on Olivia throughout their relationship, he seems to be moving back toward the side of the Plath family in his opinions of her, based on the preview. The Plath family has been pushing to drive a wedge between Ethan and his wife for years, and after some of her recent actions, things have been less favorable for Olivia. After her feud with Moriah Plath over Moriah’s music and the distance between Ethan, Olivia, and the Plath family in general, things have been rough when it comes to Olivia’s perception.
Welcome To Plathville season 5 has shown the progression of Olivia and Ethan’s relationship as it’s moved through more difficult times and to a standstill. While it’s unclear if the couple is still together, things seem bleak for the pair as the season continues and Ethan begins to speak more plainly about the differences between himself and Olivia. With Welcome To Plathville season 5 continuing on, the couple’s relationship status is still a huge question for the series to answer.
Welcome To Plathville airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. EDT on TLC.
