Welcome to Plathville matriarch Kim Plath is not on social media for a reason, but that could change with the direction change coming in season 7. Kim and Barry Plath announced their split in 2022 after 24 years of marriage. While the pair are still not officially divorced, they have moved on from each other. Together, they share 10 children (one deceased.) They raised their children in a sheltered fundamentalist lifestyle on a Cairo, Georgia, farm, free of TV, sugar, and within the frame of homeschooling. However, Kim and Barry have loosened up over the years.
