Moriah Plath from TLC’s ‘Welcome to Plathville’ has had a rough emotional time after a toxic relationship that was followed by a devastating breakup, which has turned into a big part of Season 6. The reality star and her family have opened up about how heartbreaking the whole thing has been and the way it has messed with her head and health.
The latest episode that aired on September 10, 2024, showed Moriah’s vulnerability in her new album, which was heavily influenced by her recent relationship, suspected to be with a musician named Matthew Craven. The track “September,” in particular, is pretty raw, expressing the pain she endured, presumably with Matt. The lyrics describe the circumstance that made her feel hanging with broken promises and constant letdowns. In the song, she even admits, “I couldn’t handle another day of waiting for somebody that I knew would never show up.” The sense of abandonment pretty much marked her dating life with her latest ex-boyfriend.
Moriah Plath’s Musical Therapy: September Revealed Her Emotional Trauma With Her Ex-boyfriend From Tampa
Moriah Plath shared that “September” was probably the most honest way of saying what she had been through. She compared songwriting to therapy, using it as a way to deal with her emotional trauma. Her dad, Barry Plath, also had his say on this matter. He reckons her music showcased the pain she’d experienced, referring to her ex as “that guy” who caused it all. He pointed out that “September” was a turning point for Moriah, when “a lot of things came to light,” which ultimately led to the relationship falling apart.
Even though Moriah kept pretty quiet about the details of her relationship during the episode, her family and friends didn’t hold back. Barry, along with Moriah’s brothers, Ethan and Micah Plath, plus Micah’s girlfriend Veronica Peters, all shared their thoughts. Barry, who used to think highly of Moriah’s ex, opened up about being totally misled after a long three-hour chat with him. He even told the cameras he had never met “a master deceiver” like Moriah’s ex, really driving home how deep the manipulation ran.
Veronica opened up about the ex’s unpredictable behavior, explaining how he’d cancel dates last minute, leaving Moriah Plath crushed after getting ready for them. She shared that he would twist things around, claiming he bailed because Moriah didn’t pick up the phone fast enough. The family started believing he was playing emotional mind games to control her. Veronica also mentioned that as Moriah got fed up with the toxic situation, she became more vocal about what was going on.
Micah and Veronica, who were both really close to Moriah while she was in the relationship, encouraged her to break it off. The ex’s efforts to cut Moriah off from her family caused a lot of issues too. Micah even shared that at one point, the ex was actually pushing Moriah to distance herself from her family, which caused some temporary tension between her and her siblings. Micah believes the ex was the main reason he and Moriah drifted apart during that time.
The biggest shock came when Moriah Plath’s family decided to dig into her ex-boyfriend’s past and uncovered a secret life he’d been hiding. Her older brother, Ethan, found out that the ex was actually in another serious relationship the whole time he was seeing Moriah. Turns out, he not only had another girlfriend (or maybe even a wife) but also a child with this woman. That explained a lot about his sketchy behavior—why he’d often bail on Moriah and dodge spending time with her.
Even with all these worrying signs, Moriah had a hard time accepting the truth at first. Veronica Peters shared that Moriah Plath kept believing her ex would turn things around and keep his promises, but that never happened. Micah pointed out that Moriah’s loyalty to her ex caused a lot of tension in the family since they could see what was going on but felt like they couldn’t really help until she was ready to walk away.
Fans Still Guessing the Identity of Moriah Plath’s Deceitful Ex-boyfriend; Some Suspect It’s Matthew Craven
The stress and emotional rollercoaster from the relationship didn’t just mess with Moriah Plath’s mental health but also hit her physical health hard. She had a flare-up of alopecia, causing her to lose some hair again. She opened up to her mom, Kim Plath, about how the stress triggered her autoimmune symptoms. Kim tried to lighten the mood by joking that any future boyfriends would have to pass a “background check” to be accepted by the family.
Even though it hurts, Moriah’s set on moving forward. She told her family that if she could rewind time, she’d probably ask her ex more questions to get some clarity. But she’s accepted that some answers might just stay out of reach. Working on her album has helped her heal, and now she’s starting to see that light at the end of the tunnel.
Moriah Plath’s journey towards recovery and independence is now a major focus in ‘Welcome to Plathville’ Season 6. After ending things with her ex-boyfriend, she moved from Tampa, Florida, back to her family’s place in Cairo, Georgia, to take some time to regroup. The show is diving into her music career, personal growth, and her battles with alopecia, as well as her ongoing healing from that tough relationship.
At the moment, we still don’t know for sure who Moriah’s recent ex is. Neither she nor her family has shared his name, and even though there are detailed reports about his manipulative and deceitful behavior, official sources haven’t been able to figure out who he is. Fans are left guessing, but there’s no credible info out there yet. Some Reddit users, however, suspect it’s an up-and-coming singer called Matthew Craven (@cravn1), who they have called out for cringeworthy, auto-tuned music.
In August, one user, replying to a query about Moriah’s suspected musician ex Matt Craven, shed some light:
They dated for a year in Tampa and she had no idea he was married or had a kid. Found out right before her lease was up and took off back to her parents. Then they got back together about a month ago. Looks like they broke up again.
Previously, Moriah Plath was in a relationship with Max Kallschmidt in Seasons 2 and 3 before they broke up in November 2021. Max dropped the devastating bomb by admitting to cheating on her. Moriah’s most famous ex-boyfriend has since moved on and started a family of his own. He welcomed a baby boy with his wife Mckayle Buckley back in July.
Season 6 of ‘Welcome to Plathville’ is probably going to dive into Moriah Plath’s latest breakup and how it’s affecting her emotionally. Fans are really looking forward to getting the scoop on the ex who made such a big impact on her life. The show airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. EDT on TLC, and it looks like we might see more about how Moriah is healing in the upcoming episodes.
