Taylor Frankie Paul is not your typical Bachelorette. Known for her vibrant presence as a "MomTok" influencer, she first captured the public's attention on the reality show *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives*. Her entry into the Bachelor Nation spotlight has sparked curiosity about her unique romantic journey.
Paul's story began with her marriage to Tate Paul, with whom she shares two children, daughter Indie and son Ocean. Their relationship took a turn when she publicly announced their split during a TikTok live session. In a bold revelation, Paul shared the concept of "soft intimacy" – an agreement allowing them to explore connections with others without crossing certain boundaries.
After parting ways with Tate, Taylor moved on with Dakota Mortensen. However, this relationship also reached its end. In an interview with Us Weekly, Paul expressed uncertainty about Mortensen's reaction to her becoming the new Bachelorette. "I have not confirmed it with him. It’s just not something that’s been on, like, my priority list to confirm with him," she admitted.
“I don’t know exactly how he’ll react or feel, but he does know that we opened the gates of dating other people. [He’ll] probably [be] sad. I assume that it’s like, ‘Whoa, she’s gonna be dating people, a lot, and then also, in front of me,’ and that’s probably gonna be kind of hard to watch.”
Adding another layer to her story, Paul shares a child, Ever, with Mortensen. Her announcement as the new Bachelorette was made on the *Call Her Daddy* podcast with Alex Cooper on September 9.
As she steps into her role as the Bachelorette, Taylor Frankie Paul is poised to navigate new romantic adventures, all under the watchful eyes of Bachelor Nation fans. Her journey is sure to be filled with unexpected twists and turns, keeping audiences hooked on her every move.
Stay tuned as Taylor brings her unique flair to the Bachelorette, promising a season full of surprises and heartfelt moments.
