Taylor Frankie Paul has provided a candid update on her personal life just weeks after stepping away from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. In a recent social media update, the reality television personality revealed that she has spent the last 10 months navigating life as a single woman, choosing to remain celibate during a period she described as the “loneliest months of life.”
Sharing a video of herself dancing, she noted, “But progress I guess.” In the accompanying caption, she elaborated on this significant lifestyle shift. “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) However this year has been filled with many learning lessons and let’s add this one to the list: how to be okay with being alone.”
This period of reflection follows a tumultuous season on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, where the star’s romantic history took center stage. During the show’s fifth season, Paul addressed her past relationship dynamics, including an admission that she had been unfaithful to her then-fiancé, Doug Mason, with her ex-partner, Dakota Mortensen. The situation was further complicated by the fact that this occurred during her involvement with The Bachelorette.
In the premiere episode of the season, Paul confirmed to fellow cast members Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, and Jessi Draper that she had maintained communication with Mortensen while filming. Despite the complications, she expressed a reluctance to define her actions as “cheating.” Following her split from Mason, Paul briefly pursued a relationship with another former partner, Ben Lambert. That connection ultimately dissolved, with Paul acknowledging in September that the relationship had concluded and that her partner deserved better than the circumstances allowed.
Currently, Paul remains involved in ongoing custody proceedings concerning her children. She shares a son, Ever, with Mortensen, and two children, Indy and Ocean, with her former husband, Tate Paul.
