It’s safe to say that Ethan and Olivia Plath’s relationship with the former’s parents, Kim and Barry Plath, played a major factor in their impending divorce. From Barry accusing Olivia of brainwashing Ethan to the younger Plath’s moving to Minnesota for a clean break, the two couples have endured their fair share of drama. “I would say definitely the stuff we had to sort through with my family really put a strain on our marriage,” Ethan admitted to Us Weekly in 2021. Olivia echoed similar sentiments, adding, “The family strain and all that drama just kind of put pressure on us. In the early stages of when we were just getting to know each other.”

The young couple’s strained relationship with Kim and Barry also leaked into their bond with Ethan’s younger sister, Moriah, which started to crack in 2022. However, it was Olivia accusing Kim of using Ethan’s credit card that ended their relationship with Moriah, resulting in the singer moving out of their shared home in Tampa, Florida. “I don’t know how this is gonna play out. But I do know when it comes to Olivia, I don’t feel even guilty at all for saying, ‘Hey, look. You were my best friend for a while, I love you, I wish you the best, but I don’t wanna be a part of it anymore,'” she said in the Season 5 premiere of “Welcome to Plathville” (via People).
