TLC’s latest headliners, the Plaths, might have 10 fewer youngsters than the Duggars, however there are greater than a few similarities between the ultra-conservative Christian families.
Naturally, viewers are curious to know whether the Welcome to Plathville extended family has ever crossed paths with the 19 Kids and Counting brood. Given that the Duggars are well accustomed to the stars of every other reality show, UPtv’s Bringing Up Bates, we wouldn’t be surprised if that they had links to the Plaths as neatly.
Are the Duggars and Plaths friends?
From what we can inform, the two families have by no means interacted, however eagle-eyed fans did in finding a random connection between a buddy of 20-year-old Hosanna Plath and one of Anna Duggar’s siblings.
Hosanna Plath and Nurie Rodrigues.
In Touch Weekly experiences that a younger girl named Nurie Rodrigues, who served as a bridesmaid in Hosanna’s June wedding to husband Timothy Noble, is recently dating Nathan Keller, the younger brother of Josh Duggar’s wife, Anna.
In a July 2 Instagram post, Nurie’s oldsters wrote, "Courtship is not dating. LOL. Dating allows for young people to 'play the field' and flirt with any opposite sex person they find attractive... even if they would not intend to marry them."
They added, "It is a fleshly, carnal practice that has led the masses into fornication and/or divorce in the long run." Sound acquainted?
So, if Nurie ties the knot with Nathan down the line, Hosanna will perhaps run into Josh — the oldest kid of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar — at the nuptials.

Two of the 9 Plath children are married, but there are no grandchildren... yet!
Hosanna walked down the aisle simply 8 months after her older brother Ethan, 21, wed his female friend of virtually two years, Olivia. Though the couple first met at a circle of relatives camp in 2014, they didn’t get together till December 2016.
"We started writing letters and exchanging occasional phone calls," the pair wrote on their wedding website. "Living in different states made getting to know each other more intentional… In April, Olivia went down and spent 2 weeks in Georgia with the Plath family and we were finally able to go on our 'first date.'"
Olivia grew up in a much much less restrictive household than her husband, who never had a soda and didn’t have access to a TV on his oldsters’ farm in rural Georgia.

"I remember the first job I had, I was working as a mechanic," Ethan remembers on the premiere of Welcome to Plathville. "I was 18 years old and I had never heard a single cuss word in my life. And I go to work with these guys and they’re like, 'Bleep, bleep, bleep!'"
Though he’s now a married man, Ethan most effective lives about 15 minutes clear of his mother and dad, Kim and Barry, and siblings: Micah, 18, Moriah, 16, Lydia, 15, Isaac, 13, Amber, 9, Cassia, 7, and Mercy, 6. Hosanna these days is living in Ohio together with her husband.
Despite the incontrovertible fact that the Plaths don’t run in the same circles as the Duggars, we would like to peer a TLC crossover!
