A Welcome to Plathville cast member recently went public with a new romance, sharing posts that suggested things were going well—until they weren’t. Ethan Plath, who initially seemed proud to introduce girlfriend Teegan Nichols on Instagram, later deleted the post, sparking speculation that all might not be well behind the scenes.
Teegan officially joined the show on August 5, 2025, making her debut appearance alongside Ethan. However, long-time fans already knew about her, thanks to Ethan’s posts earlier in January, when he first spoke openly about their relationship during the New Year.
At the time, he appeared genuinely happy with Teegan, but on-screen this season, while the two share sweet moments, Ethan’s emotional response to sister Lydia Plath’s relationship with Zac Wyse has caught viewers’ attention. Some wonder if unresolved feelings—or deeper tensions—might be surfacing beneath the surface of his new romance.
What Ethan Plath Deleting Post About Girlfriend Means
On January 1, 2025, Ethan Plath proudly posted a series of photos of his girlfriend, Teegan Nichols, on Instagram, celebrating their relationship as the new year began. But now, that post has mysteriously vanished—leaving fans to wonder if there’s more going on than meets the eye.
Of course, people delete Instagram posts for all sorts of reasons—privacy, rebranding, or simply changing their mind. But in the world of reality TV, social media silence often sparks breakup rumors. And while there’s no official confirmation that Ethan and Teegan have split, the sudden disappearance of their once-public romance has fans speculating.
Reddit users have already picked up on the clues. In a recent thread, user Drawemother402 (who misspelled Teegan’s name as “Teagan”) suggested that Ethan himself may have sabotaged the relationship. Though it’s all speculation, the fact that Ethan appears to have wiped all traces of Teegan from his account is raising eyebrows across the fanbase.
o while Ethan Plath’s romance with Teegan Nichols may look picture-perfect onscreen, things offscreen might be telling a different story. For Ethan, this could be yet another chapter in what’s becoming a painfully complicated love life.
He’s still picking up the pieces from his highly publicized split with Olivia Plath. Despite their constant arguments leading up to the breakup, Ethan reportedly didn’t want the marriage to end. In fact, he pleaded with Olivia to stay. But she had made up her mind—filing for divorce on February 21, 2024, and choosing to move forward without him.
Now, as fans watch him try to start fresh with Teegan, the question remains: is Ethan ready to move on, or is he still haunted by the past?
Above, see the pair looking happy, in a TikTok post added by TLCTV. They answered questions about their relationship, and seemed taken with each other. Ethan’s moving fast into a new relationship, so maybe it’s just too soon to get so serious. Of course, he needs to try again, but he’s a very emotional guy, and possibly, he’s still thnking about Olivia a lot.
While they seem happy in Welcome to Plathville season 7, anything can happen. While chatter about their possible split is surfacing, another scenario is that he realized he’d put his new girlfriend on the show, and deleted the post just because he wanted to create some mystique.
Maybe there were even contractual reasons why he decided against keeping that post online. He might have added it hastily and then had regrets. The network might not want its cast members to post things that could be considered spoilers for an upcoming season. If he posted something and then realized that it might be a spoiler, he could have taken it down for that reason.
Ethan’s romantic journey on Welcome to Plathville hasn’t been easy. It’s been characterized by dizzying highs and lows, including Ethan’s attempts to make things work with Olivia amid major disapproval from his parents, Kim and Barry Plath. They never liked Olivia, although she’s a bright and beautiful woman.
