The canceled season of “The Bachelorette” featuring Taylor Frankie Paul has sparked controversy after a video surfaced detailing her domestic violence incident with ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, the father of her two-year-old son, Ever. ABC has made the decision not to move forward with the new season, focusing instead on supporting the family.
Before dating Dakota, Taylor was married to Tate Paul, with whom she shares two older children. Tate and Taylor married in 2016 and welcomed their first child, daughter Indy May, in August 2017, followed by son Ocean in June 2020. Tate has since moved on and started a new family with Bailey Paul, a Utah-based esthetician.
The couple divorced in 2022 following a TikTok live stream where Taylor revealed their participation in “soft swinging” with other couples. This led to the end of their marriage as Taylor admitted crossing boundaries and developing feelings for another person. Tate has largely stayed out of the spotlight post-divorce and now keeps a low public profile, occasionally sharing music remixes on social media.
Despite their split, Taylor and Tate maintain a strong co-parenting relationship for their children. Taylor, who has gained a following as part of the Mormon influencer community known as “MomTok”, and Tate are on good terms, attending activities for their kids together and communicating regularly.
