Ethan Plath celebrated New Year’s Eve by introducing the world to his new girlfriend 10 months after filing for divorce from estranged wife Olivia Plath.
‘Proud to introduce my sweet girlfriend!’ the 26-year-old Welcome to Plathville star announced with an Instagram slideshow.
‘She truly is one of the sweetest, kindest, and patient people I’ve ever known! Looking forward to the next year and what it has to bring. Wishing everyone a very happy new year! Here we go 2025!’
Ethan did not tag nor name the blue-eyed, blonde beauty but some in the comments worried his conservative, controlling mother Kim Plath ‘is not gonna like those necklines’ on her plunging floral frocks.
Plath – a classic car enthusiast – appeared to be absolutely besotted with his new mystery companion in the snaps, including a shot of them with their arms around each other in front of a retro car.
Instagram user @nickyrose07038 commented: ‘She looks exactly the same as Olivia LOL, I’m dead.’

Welcome to Plathville's Ethan Plath and Olivia have filed for divorce
Instagram user @willyt51 wrote: ‘That’s how you rebound, my boy! Hell of an upgrade.’
‘Hope he treats her better than he treated Olivia and doesn’t try to change her,’ Instagram user @mrs.robinson1202 commented.
‘Hopefully she’s a traditional wife cuz that’s what he needs. He does not want a strong independent woman.’
The platinum-blond mechanic is still technically married to Olivia as she told The Sarah Fraser Show on December 21 that their divorce will be finalized ‘hopefully 2025.’
Ethan and the 26-year-old traveling wedding photographer were only 20 when they tied the knot in October 2018 and they legally separated on February 25, 2023 but didn’t publicly announce it until eight months later.
Plath wrote in his split statement: ‘It seemed we were constantly pulling each other in opposite directions in life with different goals. I wish Olivia the best in the future ahead. I care for her deeply and always will.’

On July 16, Plath (born Meggs) Instastoried a snap of her new boyfriend Brendan, whom she began talking to in September 2023.
‘He’s the best thing since (or before) sliced bread,’ the Virginia-born, DC-based globetrotter gushed in her Instagram Q&A.
‘He even shares his chicken tenders with me, which is a true sacrifice. I’ve had a public relationship and they come with unique challenges, so I’m keeping this one a little more quiet.’
On September 1, Olivia reflected on her marriage, claiming she was ‘groomed’ by Ethan’s 52-year-old mother.
‘I had no idea who I was marrying. I was like a kid honestly,’ Plath scoffed on TikTok.
‘The audacity of his parents to be like, “Yeah, we just knew they weren’t gonna make it, like there was issues.” Bish, you were the one who carefully concocted and crafted that experience. You’re the reason we didn’t know each other and by the way, you groomed me to marry your son and be in your family. So like, you fully chose me.’
Two years ago, Plath’s famous parents – Barry Plath and Kim Plath – announced they were divorcing after 24 years of wedded bliss.
The naturopathic doctor has since moved on with private pilot Ken Palmer, whom the 56-year-old transportation planner met during the sixth season but their divorce has not been finalized.
