The production of the fifth season of the series «The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives» has been halted due to an incident of domestic violence involving the show’s star, Taylor Frankie Paul, and her ex-partner, Dakota Mortensen. On March 16, 2026, reports emerged regarding legal issues between the former spouses, who are raising their shared child, Ever, who is 23 months old. As new details emerge, Hollywood Life has gathered all the information about the situation and when filming of «Mormon Wives» might resume.
According to a representative from the Draper police department, an open investigation is underway regarding the «domestic violence» case involving Paul and Mortensen.
The representative also confirmed that «allegations have been made in both directions» and that «contact with the involved parties was established on February 24 and 25». According to several sources, the representative declined to provide further details due to the ongoing investigation.
At the time of publication, neither Paul nor Mortensen had made public statements regarding the situation.
It remains unclear what exactly transpired between Paul and Mortensen. The Draper police confirmed only that «allegations have been made in both directions», - referring to the former partners.
Taylor and Dakota broke up after he admitted to cheating. At the beginning of the second season, Taylor spoke about their breakup. «Right after Ever was born, Dakota and I lived together and were happy with our new baby, and I even thought about getting engaged. Then I found out he had been lying all along», - she said.
Dakota did admit to this, saying, «I lied. I always did it selfishly to protect myself. I just wish I had been honest with her, but it’s too late now».
«I would do anything to get my family back, to be with Taylor», - he said at the time. «Unfortunately, I hurt her a lot, I messed everything up, and this is also a consequence of my actions».
At the time of publication, it is unclear when the production of the fifth season will resume. Several sources reported that filming was halted in mid-March 2026. There have also been conflicting reports about Paul’s relationships with her co-stars.
According to information from People, a source close to the «Mormon Wives» cast stated, «None of the women want to be associated with her».
Another source told the publication that the participants are «very overwhelmed» and «everyone has come together, and they don’t want to return right now. They are just tired of Taylor, to be honest».
However, a source told E! News that Paul’s relationships with her colleagues are «great at the moment» and insisted that production was not halted due to issues among the cast.
