His identity was kept secret during Welcome To Plathville season 6, but Moriah Plath’s mystery boyfriend has been revealed as Matthew Craven. Moriah was in a tumultuous offscreen relationship with Matthew for over a year. They broke up just before filming started, after Moriah discovered Matthew was keeping serious secrets from her. Moriah had never discussed her relationship on the show until it ended, and she was elusive about details. The breakup forced Moriah to leave Tampa and return to Cairo, Georgia, where she moved in with her father, Barry Plath, to recover.

After the breakup, Moriah’s family had only negative things to say about Matthew. Her older brother, Ethan Plath, claimed Matthew drove a wedge between him and Moriah. Micah Plath and his girlfriend, Veronica Peters, claimed Matthew was manipulative and would abruptly call off dates with Moriah. Barry called Matthew a “master deceiver.” The family’s strong feelings led to a near-brawl when, at the end of season 6, Moriah itted she and Matthew were back together.

Matthew's Age

Age Gap Alert: Matthew Is Older Than Moriah

Matthew’s age has not been confirmed, but he is rumored to be in his 30s. This makes him quite a bit older than Moriah, who recently turned 22. The age difference likely contributed to Moriah’s family’s harsh criticism of Matthew.

Not only is Moriah young, but she was raised in a very sheltered environment. It would be easy for her to be manipulated by somebody older and with more life experience. This guy looks like a bad boy and it seems like he really hurt Moriah.

Matthew & Moriah's Relationship

Matthew Allegedly Treated Moriah Badly

Moriah and Matthew’s relationship was never directly featured in Welcome To Plathville. It’s unclear whether it occurred between seasons or if she hid him from the cameras. Considering Matthew’s claims that Moriah was homeless when they met, their relationship probably began after she moved out of her brother Ethan’s home following a dispute with his ex-wife, Olivia Plath.

Moriah wrote her most recent single, “I’m Glad It’s Not September Anymore,” about her relief at being out of the relationship.

When Moriah finally mentioned her relationship on the show, she and Matthew had been broken up for some time. She somberly explained that she hadn't been betrayed by her ex. Nonetheless, she was forced to cut him off and return home to her family. Moriah wrote her most recent single, “I’m Glad It’s Not September Anymore,” about her relief at being out of the relationship. During a recording session, Moriah grew emotional and had to leave the room, as her family reflected on what they witnessed while the couple were still together.

However, Moriah stunned her family in the season finale when she suddenly grew distant. She itted to Ethan that she and Matthew had a four-hour conversation in which he explained everything - then, they got back together. Although Moriah was confident in her decision, her family didn’t her. Welcome To Plathville season 6 ended with the family searching frantically for Moriah, wanting to get her out of Matthew's grip.
