Olivia Plath, star of Welcome to Plathville, opened up about her first date post-divorce. She revealed that it had been a few months since finalizing her divorce from Ethan Plath and that she had been on three dates since. The first date as a single lady was with a friend of a friend and included dinner, going to bars, live music, and drinks. The date took an unexpected turn when the man invited her home to meet his cat, which turned out to be code for something more.
The reality star admitted that she had little dating experience and didn’t suspect anything when the man mentioned meeting his cat.
