Is a new TLC love story in the works? After Olivia Plath from Welcome to Plathville split from her husband last year, another one of the network’s stars tried to shoot his shot with the LA-based wedding photographer. But Olivia wasn’t exactly feeling it, she says. 

Big Ed from ‘90 Day Fiancé’ made a move on Olivia Plath

Olivia was a guest on a recent episode of The Sarah Fraser Show (via YouTube). She opened up about her former mother-in-law Kim Plath’s DUI arrest, her not-yet-finalized divorce from Ethan, and her romantic life post-split. 

As a newly single woman in the public eye, Olivia has no shortage of potential suitors. When Fraser asked if she’d connected with any celebrities while living in Los Angeles, Olivia said she hadn’t met anyone in person. But online was a different story. 

“There was a couple that maybe slid into the DMs,” she said. 

Fraser immediately tried to guess who the flirty celebs were. “Leonardo DiCaprio?” she jokingly asked. 

“I’m over 25, Sarah. It’s bad news for me,” Olivia replied, referencing the Titanic star’s penchant for dating much younger women. 

While Leo wasn’t hitting her up on Instagram, she had heard from another TLC star. At first, Olivia tried to get the podcast host to guess who the guy was, describing him as a “pretty problematic figure that just loves to get in relationships with girls abroad and send them lots of money.”

Big Ed [Brown]?” Fraser asked as Olivia nodded and laughed. 

So, how did Olivia react to the 90 Day Fiancé star’s message?

“I did respond,” Olivia explained. “Because he was just telling me all kinds of stuff. And I said, ‘Yeah, you like the view?’”

The ‘Welcome to Plathville’ star didn’t want to jump right into a new relationship after her divorce

Olivia went on to hint that she had also heard from some non-TLC celebs. But she wasn’t interested in pursuing anything with someone who was also in the public eye. 

“I didn’t want to date in LA,” she said. After just getting out of her five-year marriage (and first real relationship), she knew she needed to give herself some time before she jumped back into dating. “I don’t need to be doing that right away,” she explained.

While Olivia wasn’t interested in dating in California, she did end up connecting with someone she met on the East Coast. She and her boyfriend Brendan, who lives in Washington, D.C., met via one of her wedding photographer gigs. He made his TV debut in a recent episode of Welcome to Plathville. The loved-up pair enjoyed a getaway to Sedona 

“Honestly, [he’s] such as great person,” Olivia told Fraser. “I feel really lucky to have him in my life.”
