Bringing Up Bates Ellie Bates Talks Marriage
Bringing Up Bates fans are somewhat shocked at Ellie Bates latest comments regarding marriage. She seemingly revealed how she feels about getting married in the future and shares her plans.

What Else Do Fans Think About Ellie’s Post?
There are a lot of varying opinions about what the young Bringing Up Bates star is trying to say. There are those who are assuming this means she’s never wanting to get married. However, there are many who think Ellie’s post means something else entirely. Here is what some fans are saying:
- “This reads “the boy I like doesn’t like me.”
- “This is exactly what i think! Either the boy she likes doesn’t like her or she started something with someone and it didn’t work out. I’m definitely not reading it as “I don’t want to get married”
- “I feel like this is her trying to tell herself to be content with her current status. I feel like she desires to have a husband and kids, but she’s making the most of having nieces and nephews to fill that void.”
- “Wishful thinking. She’s definitely not saying she doesn’t want to get married. She’s advertising herself that she’s available.”
It almost seems as though the opinions are split down the middle. Some believe she doesn’t feel like marriage is for her. Others think it means she just hasn’t found someone yet, or maybe just got rejected by a boy she likes.
