Viewers Were Introduced To Warden Bates Through Bringing Up Bates
Warden and his family became known to audiences through the UP TV series, Bringing Up Bates. The series, which ran from 2015 to 2021 for ten seasons, followed the family, including Gil and Kelly Jo Bates and their nineteen children. Warden is the thirteenth child and sixth son of Gil and Kelly Jo. Since the series’ end, fans have been following him and his personal life on social media.
In his personal life, as previously reported, Warden has been known for his relationship with Taylor Marples. At one point, rumors circulated that the two were secretly married. However, an anonymous figure has recently come forward, claiming that they had also been in a previous relationship with Warden. Taking to social media, they shared, “I want other girls to be aware of Warden,” claiming he was a “player.” The poster further claimed, “I dated him for some time and we were pretty serious- I met some of his family and he met my whole family. I finally had the courage to look and I found out he was talking to a bunch of other girls on every app- Snapchat, Instagram, and iMessages. This boy is the biggest player I know of and I know I’m not the only one he’s done this to.”
The poster further claimed to have received messages from other girls about past relationships with Warden. They also alleged that Warden had “met up with girls in different states.” A few commenters shared mixed reactions to the share. Some feel the situation was suspicious, noting that multiple commenters seem to be sharing similar stories about Warden. One fan noted, “Why does this feel Like the same person commenting just under different names?” This fan then asked for further details.
The Original Poster Also Shared A Photo Towards The End Of The Post
Other fans felt that the situation was complicated, sharing these accounts could hold at least some truth. Some felt more proof was needed. Towards the end of the post, the original poster shared a photo of what appeared to be her standing alongside Warden. Notably, her face was burred out in the pic. She also claimed that the photo was taken in early August.
Fans continued to share a variety of comments. Some doubted the story, while others showed concern for the original poster. Some comments included:
- “Yup, I think it’s the same unhinged fan who has made a dozen accounts to comment and make this fantasy look legit.”
- “I believe this op has been verified in the other group, so I think op is true but I don’t believe the other commentators (so maybe they are the same person) it’s very wierd how all of the sudden multiple people have appeared, many of them on new accounts with the same story.”
- “It’s def the same people. They all appear at the same time, with new profiles, with the same story but can’t post much proof.”
- “Oh this must’ve been the same weekend he decided he wanted to be with me again and reached out smh.”
- “Please be careful OP. You have now outed your identity to his family and you have made a lot of damaging claims. Truth is an absolute defense but it doesn’t stop years of headache and costs if the family hits you with a defamation or slander suit.”
What is your reaction to the story? What do you think is really going on?
