Bringing Up Bates stars Gil and Kelly Jo Bates are still thriving in life despite the cancellation of their reality show in June 2021. The married couple still shares most of their family activities, especially their annual events. Many are also impressed that most of the children have been successful even without the help of the show. However, several Redditors think some of the kids may be stuck in a certain type of career.
Bringing Up Bates: How Gil & Kelly Jo Bates Generate Income
Many fans have been curious about how Gil and Kelly Jo still make money after UpTV parted ways with them. It was reported that Gil owns a tree excavating company, Bates Tree Service. Many of the Bringing Up Bates star’s kids also worked for him despite how dangerous it is. Gil is also a pastor, though it’s unclear how much he makes for his sermons. Meanwhile, Kelly Jo has been a busy mom and grandmother. She often visits her married children. There are also times when she hustles in the Bates Sisters Boutique, endorsing a variety of clothing.
Fans Think The Bates Are Stuck In This Career
Some Bringing Up Bates fans on Reddit discussed the possibility that the Bates are stuck under one type of career, especially for the daughters. According to the poster, they’re curious about who are the most “materialistic and money hungry” daughters of Gil and Kelly Jo. The Reddit user added that they think Carlin, Josie, and Katie all have the same characteristics, and they will never stop making social media content.

Others agreed and said the three may be stuck with the particular job for good. Some even think it’s only a matter of time before the younger sisters follow. However, there are others who don’t entirely rely on being social media influencers, such as Michaela, Erin, and Tori.
- “I honestly don’t see most of them not posting. Alyssa and Micheal maybe but most of the men don’t appear to want to work very hard or much(except Kelton who owns his own business, I could see Josie maybe limiting hers to work only but probably not).”
- “None because it’s not just for the money. It’s also for their self worth and egos. They have thousands of followers constantly telling them how pretty they are, and how adorable their kids are.”
- “They’re all a little bit attention seeking so I think none of them will ever stop influencing.”
