Layla Taylor'S Love Story Unfolds: 'Mormon Wives' Star Reveals Girlfriend

Layla Taylor's Relationship Goes Public

Love is in the air for Layla Taylor, the star of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," as she takes to social media to confirm her relationship with Kelsie Chesser. The big reveal came when Chesser shared a playful TikTok video, captioned, "When I slid into my girlfriend’s DMs just hoping she was into girls." The video, set to Beyoncé’s sultry "Partition," showcased Chesser grooving along, and it didn't take long for Taylor to drop her own confirmation, simply commenting, "Folded."

Social Media Sparks and TikTok Teases

Chesser’s TikTok post, which highlighted her unique arm tattoos, matched those seen in a video Taylor had posted back on June 6. In that earlier clip, Taylor teased fans with hints about her new relationship, captioning it with, "‘You’re glowing recently,’ thanks, I’m dating a woman now." She added a cheeky nod to modern romance, "Chivalry isn’t dead it’s [with] the lesbians."

Coming Out and Finding Comfort

Taylor officially came out as bisexual during a candid chat on Jay Shetty’s "On Purpose" podcast on June 29. "I’m gay, and I’m bi and date women and men," she announced, sharing that she was "talking to" a woman at the time – a woman who has now been revealed as Chesser. Her "SLOMW" co-star Jen Affleck was quick to show her support, commenting, "You look so happy."

"She’s just been very understanding and letting me take this at my own pace because it is just still foreign to me and it is so new," Taylor gushed about Chesser, highlighting her girlfriend's emotional awareness and patience.

Past Relationships and New Beginnings

Before this newfound love, Taylor was married to Clayton Wessel, with whom she shares two sons, Oliver, 5, and Maxwell, 3. The couple tied the knot in 2020 but went their separate ways three years later. Post-separation, Taylor was linked to Cameron Jolley and Mason McWhorter. Her relationship with McWhorter ended in February, marking the beginning of a new chapter in her life with Chesser.

Taylor's journey of self-discovery and love has been nothing short of inspiring, showing that it's never too late to embrace who you truly are.
