Next Episode of Bringing Up Bates is
unknown.
Twenty-seven years ago Gil and Kelly Jo Bates tied the knot with no plans to have kids. Fast forward 19 kids later and this tight-knit family, seemingly too good to be true, has a tremendous bond but are far from perfect. As you will see, when you have a house full of 19 children, from ages two to 25, daily chaos is multiplied exponentially, but so are the joyful and poignant moments that life can bring.Led by devoted father Gil (49) and his loving wife Kelly Jo (47), the Bates do everything in bulk while staying true to their values and rules for the family -- which means everyone has chores, little to no TV, only dresses for girls (though pajamas are worn in private), strictly side-hugs until marriage (except for front hugs on special occasions), and more. With a grand total of 19 children ranging in age from two to 25, they are the definition of a "big, happy family." But lately -- as viewers will see -- their simple rural lifestyle in Tennessee is in a flurry of transitions, see it all on Bringing Up Bates.
Let the "I Love You Day" Festivities begin! Bates Sisters Boutique holds their first photo shoot in their newly renovated space, and two of the models might become sister-in-laws one day! Later, things are heating up in the kitchen as Nathan's love, Esther, is prepping the entire meal for the couples' dinner. Will her efforts be successful, or does she need more cooks in the kitchen? If you like it, put a ring on it! Nathan and Esther shop for engagement rings and bring along Katie, Travis, and Lawson and his girlfriend, Tiffany. Will Esther find her dream ring, or will Katie use this opportunity to drop hints to Travis? Finally, the family gathers two by two for their most beloved holiday! Which Bates couple will take home the prize for best animal costume? And when Travis sneaks away to speak with Gil, is he ready to plan a proposal?
Now that Tori and Whitney are neighbors and both expecting another baby, they meet up to swap baby clothes, while their hubbies are in charge of cooking dinner! In Florida; Alyssa and John have their hands full moving out of their old house and renovating their new home just weeks after the birth of their fourth daughter.

But now that the ring is burning a hole in his pocket, when will he pop the question?
With Whitney and Josie's due dates quickly approaching, the expecting moms meet up to dish about motherhood and work on a craft project for their nurseries.

But, with Nathan leaving the bachelor squad, will Lawson be on the fast track to settle down? Meanwhile, Travis is hoping to surprise Katie with a destination engagement in the Florida Keys, but can Gil and Kelly Jo keep suspicious Katie in the dark about the plan?
