The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul shared surprising details about her sex life amid her legal battle with ex Dakota Mortensen.
“The fact that I remained single and celibate during the 10 loneliest months of life has me shocked but progress I guess,” Taylor, 32, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, November 8, alongside a video of herself dancing for the camera.
The reality star elaborated in the caption.
“If you’re familiar with how I am, you know it’s the opposite of what I would have normally done. (I hate to admit),” she wrote. “However this year has been filled with many learning lessons and let’s add this one to the list: how to be OK with being alone✍🏼.”
Taylor’s dating life was front and center when Mormon Wives premiered on Hulu in 2024. At the time, Taylor was dating Dakota, 33, whom she started seeing after he divorce from Tate Paul. The reality star welcomed son Ever with Dakota in 2024 after she was arrested for domestic violence.
After the reality show became a success, Taylor and Dakota went through numerous breakups and reconciliations. She attempted to break the cycle by going on The Bachelorette, which was set to air in March. Her season was pulled before it premiered amid an investigation into an alleged domestic violence incident involving Taylor and Dakota.
Taylor has since been involved in two separate child custody battles with Dakota and Tate. (Along with Ever, Taylor shares daughter Indy, 9, and son Ocean, 6, with Tate.)
Though her season of The Bachelorette was removed from ABC’s lineup, Taylor sparked a connection with contestant Doug Mason.
“He was the one that I liked from night one. There was instant chemistry,” Taylor gushed during season 5 of Mormon Wives, which aired in September. “The entire time, I didn’t think we were going to ‘get engaged,’ per se, but then at the last minute, he did propose and I said yes.”
Taylor considered a long-term relationship with Doug, but she ultimately changed her mind. She maintained contact with Dakota and explored her connection with ex Ben Lambert during season 5 of the Hulu show, which was cut short due to Taylor’s ongoing legal issues.
