I wish the bates girl would start a podcast about relationships/advice. It would be so amazing!!!

[@SimplyEnjoyingLife]

Y'all are naturals with KZbin! Thanks for sharing your story. ❤️

[@emmygrace03]

I LOVE your intro!! It's so unique from any intro I've ever seen. It's perfect for you guys. Btw, I watched the whole entire video bc you guys are NEVER boring to watch.

[@TheStewartFam]

Wow! You’re a true stew crew member!!! You’re awesome!

[@HarvardChickie]

Carlin I’ve always thought you were adorable but you really really are; I love your personality and confidence- never change. You and Evan are perfect; he’s a doll and you are just a gem... and don’t get me started on your little one: could she get any cuter?

[@designdoctor247]

Who who who would be insane enough to dump Carlin... seriously. That shocked me.

[@robertahernandez4871]

I know really she is so sweet ❤️

[@robertahernandez4871]

But look at her hubby now he is so awesome I just love them guys ❤️

[@valorbakery]

Yessssee

[@jacquelynlane7905]

It was one of the Duggar boys. I forget which one (because, honestly, who can keep track lol). But it was clearly meant to be because Carlin and Even are obviously a perfect match.

[@designdoctor247]

@@jacquelynlane7905 yes they are a perfect match! 🥰

[@steveandtammyb]

I remember when watching Bringing Up Bates how, even though I love the whole family and enjoyed their show, I always seemed to really enjoy Carlin on the show. I always thought she was so adorable and just has the most fun personality! I hate that the show ended, but I am now really enjoying watching updates from all the family. And Evan, you do fit in just perfect with Carlin! Y’all are an adorable couple and I love keeping up with your precious family! God bless y’all for being such a positive influence!

Subscribed today! Met my wife at a church youth conference and we've been married 20 years and now Pastor here in Ohio. Keep up the good work and working for Christ. Love the humor too. Much needed during this current crisis!

[@TrustandobeyGod]

Wow, it's so nice where you are! It's cold and rainy here in Oregon. Nice intro, BTW. 😄 Great job in starting up an excersize routine. 👊🏽 You can do this!! Carlin, I agree! Peanut butter and honey is so GOOOD.

Your story so touched my heart. Truly God has blessed you!! Anyone ‘looking for some one’ tell God. He has that person picked out for you. ❤️❤️❤️ Carlin, Evan, and Layla...praying for you and your intentions. God bless you!!

I haven't heard about your other relationship Carlin. Story time video there maybe? Love y'all and love the new intro

[@caitshomemade]

That's what I was thinking Sophie! 😂

[@rsimon2088]

Sophie She might not want to for the guys privacy though. 😕

[@mariemakeup101]

She could still talk about it without naming the guy

[@Itsalyssaaa13]

I don’t think any of the family talks about failed courtships. Except Trace and Nathan, Josie was also in a failed courtship that we heard nothing about.

[@sarasmith8596]

Sophie who sits around and talks about an old failed relationship ? Losers thats who. Move on. She said it was nothing. That says it all.

[@lisajohnson2911]

I love your marriage/relationship, y'all are open & honest, I truly love the fact that y'all let people know marriage is not easy, and y'all have issues like everyone else, but you gave advice on how to correct those issues/problems. I so love y'all- Wonderful parents also, I love the love y'all have for one another & Layla

[@priscillarobinson7740]

Your little family is so sweet. You two are like twins, you both know what each other is gonna say and finish each other's sentences. You compliment each other and we can see how in love you are. Stay just the way you are and remember to stay safe. God Bless You All 🙏🏼 And God Bless America 🇺🇸

[@aprilmajors6794]

Sweet story you guys have! We went to the ladies conference last year in Springfield. It was so much fun!! One of Evan's older sisters did a session and it was so encouraging. I love all the Bates and Stewart's; so glad God brought you all together.

[@cristamoore3513]

I’ve watched the Bates and Duggar’s from day one. I have loved the Bates family since the introduction of the Bates family on the Duggar’s show on TLC. You guys are the best!! I love to hear the back stories that are not shared on the show. Thank you for sharing your life with us in addition to UP Faith and Family Bates.😘😍😁

[@gailthorpe2288]

Crista can you still get the bates family on tlc channel? season 1 to 9

[@cristamoore3513]

Gail Thorpe the Bates family reunion with the Duggar’s on TLC was years ago. The Bates family got their own show through UPtv and UP Faith and Family and the Duggar’s can be seen on TLC’s “Counting On” show. If you wanted to see old videos of Duggar’s or Bates, you could see them on KZbin or get the subscription of UP Faith and Family on Roku and be able to see seasons 1-9. Hope this answers your question.

[@deedeeporter915]
