Like previous births in the Bates family, fans can expect Season 9 to cover what labor and delivery was like for Josie and Kelton.

According to their Instagram, fans already know Josie was in labor for nearly two days before giving birth to Willow.

Fans can also expect to see how Josie and Kelton adapt to being both new parents and newlyweds.

Trace and Chaney

At the end of Season 8, fans started to see the relationship growing between Trace and Chaney. The duo met during a skiing trip. Trace introduced her to his family back in February of last year. Season 9 will continue to document the progress in this relationship.

It, however, is worth noting Trace and Chaney are no longer in a relationship. It was at the beginning of this month that Trace confirmed on Instagram they were no longer a couple.

Trace continued to explain why he decided to share this information. He didn’t want those watching the upcoming episodes of Bringing Up Bates to be confused. After all, they would be portrayed as a couple in Season 9. But, they are no longer together.

Katie Bates and Travis Clark

Bringing Up Bates Season 9 will also give a look at a new and growing relationship for Katie Bates. Fans will watch as she introduces Travis Clark to her family.

Katie Bates has been posting snaps of Travis on Instagram since back in October. Season 9 will likely show how this relationship started and cover Katie introducing him to her family.

More Bates!

It wouldn’t be a Season of Bringing Up Bates if there weren’t new babies coming into the world. We will see Zach and Whitney expecting their third child. This comes after they miscarried in 2018. As fans know, Whitney gave birth to Khloe Eileen on November 7th.

Erin Paine got pregnant not long after Whitney did. She and Chad welcomed Holland Grace into the world on November 26th.
