Many were also surprised when Warden and Taylor deleted their photos together on Instagram.

Warden Secretly Married?

Some Redditors reacted to the Bates family photo, which was taken during their all-couples dinner. While Taylor wasn’t in the gathering, Warden can be seen standing next to his brother, Isaiah. But what’s noticeable is the Bringing Up Bates star’s ring on his left hand, where wedding bands are supposed to be worn. Meanwhile, some pointed out that it could be a “promise ring” or a “courtship ring” that the other Bates used to wear before getting married. Here are some of the comments Warden Bates received.

“I’m thinking it’s a courtship ring/ sign of commitment. These are becoming more popular with Gen Z even in more secular groups. I’ve heard of multiple men wearing “engagement rings” – basically dark, silicone rings – that are in the 20-24 age group.”
“Didn’t Nathan or someone, when courting, wear a promise ring? Maybe that’s what this is. Either that or it’s Warden trying to fool everyone.”
“FWIW Nathan used to wear a ring pre marriage – it was one of those fitness trackers that tracks steps, heart rate etc. Where is Nathan’s wife in this pic – don’t see her.”
“Wait… why is he at the “couples” night? Isaiah is there also??”
“Maybe wardens girl couldn’t make it so Isaiah filled in. Kinda like how Nathan was lawsons date once.”

Bringing Up Bates: Warden Bates’ Recent Rebellion

Warden has yet to share details about the tattoo on his arm. There have been speculations that it’s fake. But others think it looked too real during his recent appearance at his sister Carlin’s house. The Bringing Up Bates star is trying to hide it in their latest get-together as well. But it seems he’s still loved and accepted by everyone in the family. He’s currently working for his brother Trace’s construction business, Bates Construction, in Knoxville, Tennessee, though it’s been quite some time since the two worked on a project together.
