Insights on Taylor Frankie Paul Ahead of "The Bachelorette's" Upcoming Season Unveiled
Taylor Frankie Paul, the star of the unscripted series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, has been announced as the lead for the next season of The Bachelorette. The new season is set to air on Hulu in 2026.
Paul gained fame as the creator of #MomTok, a group of Mormon women who became popular on TikTok during the pandemic. However, her personal life has been the subject of much controversy, with a swinging scandal, a tumultuous divorce, and a series of raw and candid posts on social media.
In a TikTok live, Paul revealed that she was involved in a swinging scandal with her recently separated husband and other couples. This revelation caused a major stir online, leading to the creation of the unscripted series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. The show documents Paul's life during a difficult time, including her arrest for domestic violence at her own home.
Despite the controversies, Paul's unconventional choice and suitability for reality TV have made her an exciting pick for the next season of The Bachelorette. The upcoming season is expected to be full of fireworks, with Paul's past relationships, including jabs at her ex-husband Dakota Mortensen, likely to be a central focus.
Paul's ex-husband, Mortensen, is currently navigating sobriety. In an interview with Call Her Daddy's Alex Cooper, Paul shared that her TikTok video auditioning for The Bachelorette caught the attention of the show's producers.
The second season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives documents the breakup between Paul and Mortensen. In the first episode, Paul addresses the scandal, discusses awkwardness with fellow #MomTokkers, and introduces her new boyfriend, Mortensen. There is a significant time jump between the first episode and the next, with production taking time off to determine if Paul would be involved in the show and to what capacity, given the arrest.
Paul took a plea deal, which helped her avoid jail time or a felony conviction. Since then, she has been candid and raw, giving viewers unlimited insight into her life during a tumultuous time. The new season of The Bachelorette on Hulu promises to be an exciting and emotional journey, with Paul's personal life and relationships at the forefront.
