The world was introduced to Kim and Barry Plath and their brood of blond-haired, blue-eyed kids in 2019 when Welcome to Plathville started airing on TLC. Unless you've been tuning into the show for at least one entire season, however, it's difficult to keep track of how many Plath siblings there are. This is partly because not all of them appear on the show and partly because the family experienced a tragic loss over a decade ago.

Let's take a closer look at Kim and Barry's kids.

How many Plath siblings are there?

Kim and Barry were married in July 1997, and they wasted no time starting a family. Over a span of 15 years, they welcomed a total of 10 children. However, one of their sons died when he was only 17 months old; so they have nine living children today. Here's a rundown of all the Plath siblings:

Ethan Plath

Ethan Plath was born on May 14, 1998, and he is the oldest Plath sibling. He married Olivia (Meggs) Plath in October 2018, and they currently live in Tampa, Fla.

Hosanna (Plath) Noble

Hosanna is the second-born Plath sibling and the eldest daughter of Kim and Barry. Although she doesn't appear on the show and isn't active publicly on social media, Hosanna is about one year younger than Ethan — which means she's roughly 23 in 2022. She currently lives in Ohio, where she performs violin alongside her husband Timothy Noble, whom she married in June 2019.

Joshua Plath

Joshua Plath was born in 2007 — but tragically, he died at just 17 months old in an accident on the family's farm. On the Plath family's since-deleted website, Kim recounted how she accidentally backed over her son.

"In the fall of 2008, I was transplanting fruit trees with our Suburban, pregnant with our eighth child," Kim wrote, per the Wayback Machine. "I looked for our 17-month-old Joshua, saw that he was away from the vehicle, then pulled forward to get the next tree. In a panic, I realized what had happened. I ran over our Joshua."

Although it isn't possible for all of the Plath siblings to be featured on the TLC program, it's clear each one has a special place in the family — and that their love for Joshua lives on.
