Olivia and Ethan announced their divorce in October 2023 after five years of marriage. Throughout the first few episodes of Welcome to Plathville Season 6, Olivia tries to get Ethan to sign their divorce papers, but he drags his feet.
“It feels frustrating to me because I don’t feel like Ethan understands,” Olivia told the cameras. “It’s been a few years since I watched the relationship die and fought to save it but couldn’t, only to finally accept it and move on.”
She noted, “It’s been nine months since we said we were done,” and Ethan hadn’t yet realized that everything was final.
“Olivia, did I ever tell you that morning that I unloaded on you? [and] Did you tell me everything I couldn’t stand anymore? I didn’t think this would be the end of us,” Ethan admitted. “I really thought we would fight about it for a week and then we would start working on it.”
