Welcome To Plathville stars Ethan and Olivia Plath are finally divorced, nearly two years after they announced their split. According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, the reality stars' marriage was officially dissolved in a judgment filed on February 25; still from Welcome To Plathville
The former couple, both 27, had been apart for more than three years, as they previously listed their date of separation as February 25, 2022
The former couple's dissolution judgment stated that there had 'been an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage relationship between the parties' in the lead-up to their divorce filing.
The judgment — which had been signed by Ethan and Olivia on February 16 — added that both parties had agreed to waive spousal support going forward, and they would be barred in the future from receiving any support.
Olivia will notably be keeping her married name, rather than reverting to her maiden name, Meggs.

Olivia, who had grown up in a fundamentalist Christian tradition, regularly pushed back against the conservative faith of her husband and his family, whom he became estranged with over time.
In the season five finale, which revealed the couple's split, Olivia said she feared her marriage to Ethan would confine her in the same way the religion she was raised with intended to.

'The faith and the world that I grew up in was a world built for men, that worked for men. And to tell me that I need to go back to a culture and a faith and a belief that told me that I was worth nothing without a husband, that in a relationship I just need to submit and say yes and cook three meals a day and praise God and it would all be fine,' she told her then-husband, who had urged her to go back to the traditions she was exposed to as a child. 'I don't think you understand the privilege you have to look at me and tell me I need to go back to that because it served you.'
Ethan revealed he was dating a new woman, Teegan Nichols (pictured) on New Year's Eve of 2024. But he shared on Tuesday season eight premiere of Welcome To Plathville that they had broken up
He blamed the split in part on Olivia allegedly dragging out their divorce, but also on his admitted unwilling to move to Wisconsin with Teegan. Instead, he moved from Minnesota to Georgia to be closer to his family
He also revealed that he and his girlfriend Teegan Nichols, had since broken up, allegedly due in part to the delay in his divorce.
He said that his ongoing marital status had been 'extremely frustrating' and had affected his relationship.

' I've had an attorney for over a year now and Olivia has ignored him, said, "I'm out of the country, I'll get back to you when I'm home." And then weeks later when she comes back, she never does anything. So he has to start over, and nothing ever has happened,' he claimed.
Ethan, who had been living in Minnesota, noted that he had moved back to Georgia to be closer to his family, but that had also put a wedge between him and Teegan.
'I knew that she was tired of long distance, and I kept telling her that I would move to Wisconsin and I never did,' he said. 'You can only tell someone so many times, "I'm going to do this," and you don't and it just doesn't mean anything.'
However, he added that he thought there was 'unfinished business' with Teegan, so he was keeping up hope that the two might reconnect in the future.
