Welcome To Plathville: Lydia & Zac Have A Lavender Marriage?

Recently, Lydia Plath and Zac Wyse shocked fans with their bombshell revelation about their relationship. The pair came together in Welcome To Plathville Season 7 to reveal that they never kissed before marriage. The first kiss they had was during their wedding and in a photoshoot.

Zac and Lydia wanted to keep their intimacy for their marital life strictly, but this didn’t impress fans because it’s quite uncommon nowadays. Kissing a partner isn’t something unlawful or a sin. So, they argued that the couple is in a lavender marriage, which is a term that identifies one partner as being homosexual or bisexual. Some fans said that even though neither of them seems to be LGBTQ+, having no intimacy before the wedding isn’t healthy.

Welcome To Plathville: Lydia Admits The Death Of Joshua As The Hardest Part Of Growing Up!

Lydia Plath hadn’t previously spoken about Joshua, but she now got candid during the latest episode of the show. Joshua was only 17 months old in 2008 when a farmland accident took him away from his older siblings and parents. She recalled that she was just four years old when the misfortune hit them hard.

Giving a reference to Kim, Lydia acknowledged that it was tough for her even to hear someone bring up the topic. Throughout her childhood, the family’s biggest loss was Joshua, because it brought a layer of deepest emotional fluctuation that lasted for the longest time. According to the reality star, the hardest thing was only that.

Kim’s hands were full of Joshua’s blood after she drove her car over him without knowing he was under it. Hence, Lydia admitted to having seen her mother unable to bear the pain. “We couldn’t talk about around her. So we just didn’t talk about it,” she said. In the Plath household, most of the tough things were left undiscussed.

The incident occurred on the Georgian property of Barry and Kim. In 2019, she challenged herself to open up about it. “I had just seen him, and I thought it was okay,” she said. But within moments, she thought of using her car to move some fruit trees, but Joshua was quite near the car, and it hit him.
