Alright, let’s spill the tea on Barry Plath from TLC’s ‘Welcome to Plathville.’ So, here’s the scoop on his love life, including why things went south with Kim Plath.
Now that the whole divorce thing has happened, the burning question is: Is Barry back in the dating game? Are there whispers of a new girlfriend in the picture?
It’s no surprise that the Plath kids are feeling the ripple effects of their parents’ divorce. Moriah, in particular, hasn’t shied away from sharing how this whole process is hitting her.
In her own words, she spilled the beans publicly, saying, “At the end of the day, I want her and my dad to be happy. It is really not easy because they both want different things, so it is hard watching.
I want my dad to be a happy man, but this is tearing him apart. But my mom is not going to be happy with my dad.” It’s a real emotional rollercoaster, and Moriah’s openness just lays it all out there. Family dynamics, huh? They can be a real whirlwind.
And what’s the deal with Kim – has she moved on? Let’s dive in and dish out the deets on their current relationship statuses. Curiosity level: peaked!
Is Barry Plath Dating?
Is Barry Plath back in the dating game? Well, as of now, it doesn’t look like it. The man himself hasn’t spilled any tea about a new special someone.
Considering the recent split from his longtime partner, Kim, it’s understandable if Barry’s not broadcasting his dating adventures just yet. Breakups take time to process, especially when there are kids involved.
But hold on, Barry isn’t just sitting around moping. Nope, he’s found a different kind of love – with fitness! The guy’s been hitting the gym, transforming from a dad body to a fit body. And get this, he’s even got his son Micah in on the iron-pumping action. Looks like Barry’s swapping heartbreak for dumbbells. Get it, Barry!
Why Did Barry and Kim Plath Divorce?
Season 4 of the show didn’t hold back on the drama, especially when it came to Barry and Kim’s marriage hitting the rocks. The cracks in their relationship unfolded before our eyes, leading to their eventual separation.
One of the major hurdles? It seems like they lost their groove in expressing love and affection as the years rolled on.
Barry, reflecting on the past, admitted, “Having looked back on my relationship, I think I just lost lots of opportunities to show Kim I really love her. Like taking time to go out on a date, that was a concept that I could not put action to. But, for Kim, that was an issue.”
Did Barry Have another Wife Before Kim?
Whoa, hold on to your hats because blogger Katie Joy, aka Without a Crystal Ball, just dropped some major bombs about Barry Plath’s past. She spilled the tea on Instagram with an official document that suggests Kim isn’t his first trip down the aisle.
According to Katie’s detective work, Barry was previously married to Laurie Mack in 1990. By 1991, the duo set up shop in Tallahassee, Florida, but by 1994, it was all over, and they filed for divorce, citing the classic “irreconcilable differences.” There are no kiddos in the mix, but Barry got the student loan responsibility in the divorce settlement.
Fast forward to 1997, and Barry said “I do” to Kim – who, by the way, had never been down the marriage road before. Talk about a twist! Apparently, Barry never spilled the beans about this first marriage.
Katie’s digging also uncovered that Barry didn’t start off as a hardcore fundamentalist – that switch happened when he moved to Florida with Laurie.
And here’s the kicker: Laurie and Kim both went to Florida State University. Fans initially thought Barry and Kim met at college, but, to their surprise, he was still hitched to Laurie at that time.
This timeline is like a puzzle with missing pieces, and it even raises the possibility of a showdown between Laurie and Kim over Barry. Talk about drama in the Plathville saga!
How about Kim Plath? Is She Dating Anyone Now?
Word on the street is that Kim has wasted no time in the love department. Yep, she’s already got herself a new flame. The catch? The identity of this mystery suitor is still under wraps.
But here’s the kicker – things seem to be moving pretty fast. Like, boyfriend/girlfriend level fast. We got a sneak peek of the budding romance in the Season 5 trailer for Welcome to Plathville.
Love is in the air, folks, and it looks like Kim is diving into this new chapter with both feet. Stay tuned for the next episode of the Plathville love saga!
The Aftermath
It looks like Barry Plath isn’t doing the dance around his feelings when it comes to ex-Kim jumping back into the dating scene. More than a year after the announcement of their split after over two decades of marriage, fans of Welcome to Plathville are getting a front-row seat to the former couple navigating their new normal.
In a sneak glance from the forthcoming episode, we see Kim and Barry sharing the same dance floor at Moriah’s ballroom dance competition. It’s the first time they’re face to face since the family got wind of Kim’s new romantic chapter.
Kim spills the tea, saying, “This is the first time I’ve been at an event with Barry and the children since they all have learned that I’m dating someone now. I’m a little bit nervous.
It’s a little bit awkward, but it’s important for Barry and I to set aside our differences so that the children can have two parents there who are civil to each other.” Talk about a dance of emotions! I can’t wait to see how this unfolds.
