Nathan and Esther tied the knot in October 2021. Then, in October 2022, they welcomed their first baby, a girl named Kenna Joy, to the world. They seem to be very happily married and doing well.

Nathan Bates’ Wife Esther Offers A Peek Into Their Relationship
On her Instagram Stories last week, Esther shared a tweet from another user. She also tagged Nathan in the post, adding a laughing emoji and a kiss emoji too.
The tweet reads:
“I’ll never understand, ‘My husband won’t let me.’ Mine doesn’t know the word no. He’s supportive in every way. I could literally bring home a whole camel family and he’d be like, ‘This is super inconvenient for me but I’ll start building the fence.'”
Bringing Up Bates Fans Are Shocked
On Reddit, fans reposted Esther’s Instagram Story post and discussed what it means. Someone thinks it’s proof that Esther wears the pants, which may come as a surprise if you’re familiar with the Bates family and their religious beliefs. Nathan Bates’ family is a part of the Institute of Basic Life Principles (IBLP), which consists of very traditional gender roles and relationship dynamics. So, it’s pretty shocking that Nathan and Esther don’t seem to function that way.
One Bringing Up Bates viewer said, “I do actually hope this is true for her. It’s rare for this kind of relationship in fundieland.”
Someone else asked, “Wears the pants or is treated as an equal in her marriage?” Another Reddit user added, “I bet it’s not easy to be a Nathan in this cult with all these expectations of authoritative manliness.”
It’s also possible that this was nothing but a funny meme or joke that Esther wanted to share with fans. But fans think this is a good sign that she’s not controlled by Nathan or that they are equals in their relationship. This isn’t a big deal in most relationships, but with their links to the IBLP, fans are glad to see such a healthy relationship.
So, does it surprise you that Esther and Nathan Bates may not subscribe to the traditional dynamics and gender roles promoted within the IBLP? How do you think their family members feel about this?
