Ethan Plath opens up about depression struggle in latest Plathville episode Ethan Plath, the 27-year-old reality star, candidly discussed his ongoing battle with depression in the latest episode of Welcome to Plathville, Season 8, which aired on April 7, 2026, on TLC. During a weekly Friday night music session with his friend Austin, Plath shared how music has become a critical outlet for his emotional pain following a series of personal losses. The episode highlighted his vulnerability as he navigated the complexities of heartbreak, divorce, and the isolating effects of depression. Plath’s emotional performance centered on a song he wrote about a lonely road and the struggle of starting over after a breakup. The track, which he described as a reflection of his internal turmoil, was inspired by his separation from his ex-wife, Olivia. During the session, he openly admitted that the pain of their divorce had left him grappling with profound sadness and a sense of directionlessness. “Depression is a real thing, and I definitely struggled a lot with it,” he stated, crediting music as a vital tool for healing. However, he also acknowledged that songwriting sometimes intensified his emotional pain rather than alleviating it. The episode also revealed Plath’s recent romantic history, including his split from girlfriend Teegan Nichols. While he admitted to still harboring romantic feelings for Teegan, he emphasized the importance of moving forward. “With Teegan, I definitely miss a lot of things, doing stuff together, making memories,” he said, expressing how quickly time has passed since their relationship ended. The emotional weight of these losses has left him questioning his ability to connect with others, particularly after years of struggling to articulate his feelings.#austin #ethan_plath #welcome_to_plathville #teegan_nichols #olivia
