💍Plathville SHOCKER! Lydia’s Rushed Engagement STUNS Ethan — “What Are You Thinking?!” 💥

Season 7 of Welcome to Plathville premiered on July 22, 2025, and it began with Lydia Plath dropping unexpected news. The 21-year-old star announced her engagement to boyfriend Zac Wyse, whom she had dated for just three months. The news came as a shock and surprise to the family members, especially Ethan, who seemed to be in complete disbelief.

The unexpected news caught Ethan Plath, who recently divorced Olivia Plath, off guard. He appeared sceptical and struggled to process the news of the engagement. The news quickly turned the tables during the family dinner, creating awkward tension and mixed reactions from everyone. Is Ethan sensing something genuinely concerning? Read on to uncover the full truth.

Welcome To Plathville: Are Lydia & Zac In A Lavender Marriage?

Lydia Plath, the reality star of Welcome to Plathville, recently married Zac in February. She revealed that they haven’t had their first kiss yet and are saving it for their wedding day. The couple also revealed they kept physical intimacy exclusive for their marriage. Fans have their own opinions on their decision.

This hasn’t gone over well with viewers, and they have doubted whether the couple actually was in a “lavender” marriage. It is a marriage where both partners are LGBTQ+. These people marry to hide their sexual identity and conform to social norms. Fans are speculating if that’s true or if it’s something more than what it appears to be.

Welcome To Plathville: Ethan Plath Taken Aback By ‘Shotgun Wedding’

Lydia Plath, known from Welcome to Plathville, has always been distinct from her siblings. Thus, when she announced her swift engagement to the family, it sparked unexpected reactions from some members, especially from elder brother Ethan Plath, whose reaction seemed to be of most concern. His initial reaction was so clear as he said, “What the f***? You meet a guy for three months and you tell me you’re going to get married?” he told the cameras.

When Ethan realised that Lydia and Zac had already confirmed their wedding date just three months later, he got extremely sceptical. He called it “so damn quick.” The star had no formal meeting with Zac. That was the reason for his growing concern. “I didn’t even know I was meeting this guy tonight,” he remarked. Ethan met Zac and confessed, “This is not anybody I pictured Lydia with.”

Lydia, on her part, found the whole scenario perplexing. Ethan called her wedding a “shotgun” event, and she misinterpreted it, believing it meant the family pressures a couple to marry suddenly and unwillingly. The producers later corrected her, explaining that it refers to a wedding which is rushed due to pregnancy. Lydia denied it bluntly.

Lydia took firm ground with her decision about what she felt for Zac, labeling it as “forever” after just 16 days into their relationship. Barry Plath also gave blessings to the couple, which again troubled Ethan. While Ethan’s discomfort seemed extremely visible in the episode, there is much to see how season 7 of Welcome to Plathville will unfold.
