Olivia Plath is opening up about the miscarriage she previously suffered.
The "Welcome to Plathville" star, who tied the knot with husband Ethan Plath in October 2018, revealed in a Tuesday clip of the TLC show that she experienced the pregnancy loss "a little while back." However, she admitted that rather than feel sad, she had been "so glad" about her miscarriage.
"I felt like I was wrong for feeling that way, and I wish I’d had more people to talk to who could’ve been a sounding board or who could’ve had a different perspective, maybe, than what I was raised with," the 23-year-old TLC reality star was quoted by Us Weekly as telling Ethan's younger sister Moriah in the clip.
She continued, "I felt bad for being relieved, but I was so relieved because it was, like, a wake-up call of, like, 'I’m not ready to have a kid. I don’t want a kid.'"
Olivia also said that when she told her 23-year-old husband about the loss, he was "just as relieved" as she was.
Ethan confirmed to Us Weekly Tuesday that they were both not ready to be parents. According to him, they want to wait "a few years" to start a family and that they hope to "travel around a bit" first.
The couple has an ongoing feud with Ethan's parents, Kim and Barry Plath. Their marriage was recently rumored to be under strain after Olivia shared photos sans her wedding ring. However, she confirmed that they are still together.
"[It] just kind of put pressure on us in the early stages of when we were just getting to know each other," Olivia told Us Weekly of the various rumors surrounding their marriage.
Olivia also addressed the rumors of marriage troubles on Instagram after one fan asked her if she and Ethan were still together. She confirmed that they "are still married" and explained why she wasn't wearing her wedding ring in some pictures.
"People comment on the fact that I don’t always wear my wedding ring and make so many assumptions," she wrote. "Sometimes I wear my ring, sometimes I don’t for two reasons: a) forgetfulness. I take it off when I sleep, when I shower, when I cook, when I hike/adventure, etc and often forget to put it back on. And b) I often don’t wear my ring when I travel solo and am afraid of damage theft or being forgetful and leaving it at a hotel — hence, why it’s often off in travel/wedding/adventure photos."
In May, Olivia shared a sweet photo of her and Ethan hugging and flashing huge smiles at the camera on his birthday.
"Happy Birthday, Ethan! We’ve been through some thick and some thin, and here’s to whatever the future holds for us. May we both continue to grow, learn and laugh. I Iove you!" the TLC star wrote in the caption.
Olivia and her husband have been doing their best to make their marriage work, including attending couples therapy.
"If you have two people that don't get each other and have gotten to the point where they're no longer willing to hear the other person, it takes a third person to be the go-between between the two, so that the other person is heard on both ends," Ethan told People last week. "I felt like that was a big thing the therapist helped us with. At the end of the day, it all boils down to communication."
