Taylor Frankie Paul: From Scandals to Belief in Mormonism
10 september 2025 в 22:37
Taylor Frankie Paul has never been shy about attracting attention — first as one of the stars of TikTok’s «MomTok», - then as the face of a scandalous story, and now as the main heroine of the 22nd season of «The Bachelorette» show. But beyond the drama of reality TV, many fans wonder about her connection to the Mormon faith. Paul grew up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and became a prominent figure among Mormon mom influencers from Utah.

Taylor’s world changed in 2022 when she revealed her role in the «soft swing» scandal within her circle of Mormon mom influencers. This confession turned her into a tabloid name and ultimately led to her divorce from Tate Paul. In the following years, Taylor dated Dakota Mortensen, but their relationship also made headlines after an incident in 2023 that led to her arrest. Since then, she has appeared on the Hulu show «Secret Lives of Mormon Women» and in September 2025 was announced as the historic main heroine of the 22nd season of «The Bachelorette».
As far as we know, yes. Taylor does not publicly deny her Mormon faith and continues to be associated with the church. Her beliefs were a central part of her early content on TikTok and her involvement in the «MomTok» community. Despite scandals, she has never explicitly distanced herself from Mormonism.
On Call Her Daddy, she clearly stated that her faith is a personal matter and not something she requires from a partner. She expressed the same sentiment in an interview with Us Weekly, saying, «I'm open to any religion. It doesn’t necessarily have to be Mormonism, but I would like to align, obviously, with the same values and moral principles, and at least someone who believes in faith and God and things like that. When you’re raising children, that becomes a factor. I don’t know if it’s a complicated issue because I’m also a very open person, and I want to hear other people’s perspectives, but when it comes to raising children, I think it becomes more important — what we will teach them, what we believe in».
Taylor was married to Tate Paul from 2016 until their divorce in 2021. They were together for almost five years before the swing scandal led to the breakdown of their marriage. Tate subsequently entered into a new marriage and welcomed more children, while Taylor remained in the spotlight due to her influencer career and roles in reality shows.
Yes. Taylor — a mother of three children — two of whom she shares with her ex-husband Tate, and her youngest, born in 2023, whom she welcomed during her relationship with Dakota Mortensen
