Olivia’s relationship with Ethan Plath was difficult throughout their time together, even before their marriage. Ethan and Olivia met when they were just 19 years old, getting together quickly, but only getting to know each other through letter writing and supervised visits before they were engaged.

Getting engaged and married young, Ethan and Olivia struggled in the early years of their marriage to carve out who they wanted to be to each other. While Olivia was growing up and getting more independent, Ethan was struggling to keep things the same as they’d been in his life before. Olivia’s struggles with the Plath family were prevalent in their marriage as well and made things more difficult. When the pair divorced after five years of marriage, it stung for both. In Welcome To Plathville season 6, Olivia introduced viewers to her new love, happy to be moving forward.

Olivia & Ethan Officially Divorced

She Was Relieved For Things To Be Officially Over

Although Ethan and Olivia’s marriage was deteriorating over the span of a few years, it finally came to an end during Welcome To Plathville season 5. The couple couldn’t see eye-to-eye and weren’t grasping how to fix their relationship, especially when Ethan refused to try and see things from Olivia’s perspective. By the time the season came to an end, the couple had officially announced they’d be divorcing.

Though there were some moments of tension on Welcome To Plathville season 6’s early episodes, it quickly became clear that Ethan and Olivia’s marriage wasn’t going to be able to be repaired. Instead, Olivia decided to move on and try to see what else she was interested in when it came to significant others. The couple’s divorce was made official, and both of them went their separate ways despite sharing the screen on Welcome To Plathville.

Olivia Hard-Launched Her Love Interest Brendan In Season 6

Her New Boyfriend Is Seriously In Love

During the most recent episode of Welcome To Plathville season 6, Olivia finally introduced her new boyfriend after talking about him using coded language for quite a while. Olivia’s boyfriend, Brendan, lives in Washington, D.C. and met the Welcome To Plathville star while she was doing a photo shoot for another couple. Brendan was caring for the couple’s dog and shared some flirty eye with Olivia during the shoot. The relationship materialized quickly, and though it was long distance, the slow pace of their newfound attraction worked for both of them, as easing into a relationship was better.

Is Olivia Still Dating Brendan After Season 6?

What's Happening With Olivia & Brendan Now?

Olivia Got Cryptic Recently, Posting About Men

In a recent Instagram clip, which unfortunately couldn't be embedded or screen-grabbed, Olivia sounded off about men, strongly implying that she'd found a good one after a bad marriage, so it's likely that she and her new beau are still an item. She contrasted the actions of open-minded men with those of "Christian Nationalist" males, claiming she used to be the wife of one of those. Ethan often seemed to be kind to his wife before things fell apart, but as per her comments below, the union was always too old-fashioned:

I was married to a Christian Nationalist and this is my solidarity for other women in similar relationships who are wondering if men exist who will hear them, them and respect them. They do exist.

And it’s okay to end relationships over politics, because it’s a much bigger picture at the end of the day. What was once a group of conservative, christian men has turned into a christian nationalist group full of anger, violence, disrespect and harmful intentions thanks to the grooming from their idols like Trump, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Tate, Matt Walsh, Jordan Peterson.

If you are in a relationship like that, you deserve better. And it’s out there. I wish for you the self confidence to believe it and the hope to find it 🫶🏼

Once again, Olivia goes for big-time drama, stirring the pot like nobody's business. Her ex is currently heartbroken, and seemingly pining over her. In fact, he went on a cross-country motorcycle trip, all by himself, in order to try and recover. That doesn't stop Olivia from putting him down, and her criticism may be valid.

However, it gives the impression of someone kicking another person when they're down.

Olivia is clearly an extremely bitter woman, although she remains productive and adventurous. She does look back on the past now and then, but maybe she doesn't dwell there too often. She's a woman who likes to embrace change - that's why she was the one who didn't want to reconcile with Ethan. He tried, but he wasn't a part of her plan for the future. While Olivia's confidence and ability to speak her mind are undoubtedly impressive, she may benefit from softening her remarks sometimes. No one is perfect.

In fact, Olivia seemed quite selfish in her relationship, calling to mind Kim at her most obnoxious. Maybe she forgets that she also erred in her marriage. Ethan put a lot on the line for her - in fact, he became estranged from his entire family for her sake. Although the duo are better off apart, and Olivia seems happy with her new man, both could benefit from avoiding posts that are basically akin to rap "diss tracks." Smart people learn to adjust to new circumstances. The Welcome to Plathville star Olivia shouldn't revisit troubled situations night and day.

Welcome To Plathville airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. EDT on TLC.
