Bringing Up Bates stars Gil and Kelly Jo Bates continue to share their lives on social media since the cancellation of their show in June 2021. Their family continues to grow, and they even welcomed multiple grandbabies this year. Some of Gil and Kelly Jo’s younger children still don’t have social media. However, many of the adults utilized their TV fame and are now social media influencers and YouTube vloggers. But some Redditors worry about their future. Keep reading to see why.
Bringing Up Bates: How Are Gil & Kelly Jo Bates Today?
It’s been a busy year for Gil and Kelly Jo. The Bringing Up Bates stars continue to keep their annual traditions alive even without filming. One of them was their “I Love You Day,” which is their alternative way to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Aside from that, Gil and Kelly Jo have also been doubling their efforts to stay in touch with Mama Jane and Papa Bill due to their health conditions. The Bates family has also grown significantly bigger this year. Gil and Kelly Jo welcomed five grandkids this year, all of whom are boys.
Why Fans Worry For The Bates Family’s Future?
Some Bringing Up Bates fans on Reddit discussed why they worry for the Bates family’s future, especially for the kids. According to the poster, they’re curious if the kids and adults will remain relevant for the next five to ten years. Some said it would depend on whether social media still exists at that point. Others were even surprised that many have become successful social media influencers today. However, several commenters doubt that people will recognize their family in the future unless they return to TV.
- “I doubt they’ll still be relevant in 5-10 years. It’ll get harder to film both their kids has they grow up and any babies they may have in the future.”
- “I guess it depends on if social media and influencing is still a thing. I am amazed anyone can make a living being an influencer, but so it is.”
- “They will diversify. Some will go on the church speaking/singing circuit, some may have editing/free lance careers. Whatever version of social media is still around… they will be a part of that.”
- “Erin and Chad’s kids are screwed. So are the Websters and Trace’s kids.”
