MINNESOTA: 'Welcome to Plathville' famed star Ethan Plath was reportedly seen getting close to a mystery lady at a local Minnesota pub, despite rumors that he and wife Olivia Plath had separated.

On Sunday, October 1, images released online by blogger Without a Crystal Ball through Instagram showed Ethan, 25, apparently on the dance floor with a brunette who wasn't his wife. The couple was spotted dancing hand in hand as they swayed to the music of a live band.

Another social media user requested further information beneath the image, and the original poster of the photographs claimed they had a close view of the exchange, saying, "It was Ethan. Dimples and all."

In another response, the user stated, "They were drinking water from what I could tell. They were dancing together. He did not look uncomfortable."

Has 'Welcome to Plathville' star Ethan Plath split from Olivia Plath?

In June, Olivia's sister Sophia Meggs-Roberts commented on a YouTube video about the Plaths and their link to the infamous Duggar family docuseries, 'Shiny Happy People,' fueling speculation that the 'Welcome to Plathville' pair had separated.

"I’m Olivia’s sister. Olivia and Ethan are in the middle of a divorce. And season 5 should be out very soon," Sophia added in a now-deleted comment.

Olivia, 25, responded to her younger sister's comment and the divorce rumors on June 22, saying, "Sophia is my younger sister, but her and I have a very distant/strained relationship due to our worldviews and reactions to the ultra-religious world we were raised in."

"Subsequently, she actually isn’t a reliable source when it comes to my personal information as she doesn’t know about my personal life," the TLC star continued.

"There is a lot of speculation going around, but if Ethan and I had something to share, we would. Thanks!"

While Olivia and Ethan have been tight-lipped about their relationship status and haven't written about each other on their separate Instagram pages since January, the TLC series resumed for Season 5 on September 5.

During the premiere, Ethan and Olivia returned from a vacation to Europe and announced that they would be living apart since Ethan intended to spend time in his birthplace of Cairo, Georgia, working on his automobiles.

Olivia knew why he had to leave, but the distance worried her. Fans will have to wait until the fifth season of 'Welcome to Plathville' to witness how Ethan and Olivia's romance develops onscreen.

But there is a strong chance that the couple has split and this will be key to the Season 5 finale.
