Why Did ‘Welcome to Plathville’ Stars Ethan and Olivia Plath Move to Tampa?

Shortly after their 2018 wedding, Olivia began butting heads with Ethan’s parents, Kim Plath and Barry Plath, as Olivia often rebelled against the Plath family’s conservative views which included no TV, no mobile phones and no sugar or soda. 

Apart from their family drama, Olivia was unhappy living in Ethan’s small hometown, but her husband enjoyed a country lifestyle. 

“I really want to live in a bigger city, I really want to be more stimulated,” Olivia told her husband during season 3. Ethan responded, “As long as I’m with you, I’m probably not ever going to come back to the environment that I like.”

While Olivia made the decision to move out of the couple’s marital home, by season 4, the couple had reconciled and moved to Tampa with Ethan’s sister Moriah Plath and Olivia’s brother Nathan.

Ethan and Olivia Move Following Kim Plath’s Recent DUI Arrest

Olivia and Ethan shared the exciting news before the Thanksgiving holiday, nearly one month following headlines that Ethan’s mother, Kim, was arrested on a warrant for a driving under the influence (DUI) charge in Wakulla, Florida. 

The October warrant was in relation to a drunk driving incident on June 10, In Touch exclusively confirmed at the time. The mom of 10 was initially charged with careless driving under the case type “traffic infraction” in Wakulla County in Crawford, Florida, according to court documents exclusively obtained by In Touch. The charge was then updated on September 8 to a pending DUI charge. 

“She came to the Sheriff’s Office to turn herself in on a warrant from outside of our agency,” a Public Information Officer for the Wakulla County Sheriff’s Office told In Touch in a statement at the time. The DUI includes charges of property damage/personal injury, according to documents exclusively obtained by In Touch.

Following her arrest, the matriarch was released from jail on the conditions that she would abstain from alcohol and criminal activity. The Georgia native also admitted she could “benefit” from an abstinence-based alcoholism recovery program. Her next court date is scheduled for December 1 in Wakulla County, Florida.
