Last week, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives prima Taylor Frankie Paul announced she’s going to prima successful the adjacent play of The Bachelorette. The quality sent shockwaves done world TV fandoms, and rightfully so: it's the archetypal clip the Bachelor franchise has chosen a pb who didn't vie successful erstwhile seasons. If viewers who are acquainted with Paul cognize anything, they cognize she’s definite to bring america 1 of the champion seasons of world TV yet.

Before solidifying herself arsenic an on-screen persona, Paul created #MomTok, a radical of Mormon women who gained popularity and became influencers connected TikTok during the pandemic. The women were celebrated for doing dances and bringing attraction to a caller procreation of Mormons navigating some their accepted values and modern-day perspectives.

Then Paul took the speech astir #MomTok to a full caller level erstwhile she went unrecorded and revealed she was progressive successful a swinging scandal with her precocious separated hubby and different couples. Apparently, they had agreed to beryllium successful an unfastened narration with different members of their person group. According to Paul, astir of #MomTok wasn’t progressive successful the swinging, but the quality had already caused a large disturbance online.

"It wasn’t similar I was going astir similar hooking up with my friend’s husband. It was like, we were astatine a party, I got belligerent, and we went and messed up by ourselves alternatively than with the full group," Paul said during the TikTok live. When the #MomTok swinging ungraded went viral, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives was born.

Paul didn’t discarded immoderate clip ensuring the caller unscripted bid would beryllium afloat of play and spectacle. In the precise archetypal episode, she breaks down the ungraded buzz and addresses immoderate awkwardness with her chap #MomTokkers. She besides shares that she has a caller boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, who is navigating sobriety. Paul unexpectedly got large and besides miscarried. The archetypal occurrence ends with Paul getting arrested for home violence astatine her ain location — neighbors called the cops 1 nighttime erstwhile they heard Paul and Mortensen fighting.

There’s a important clip leap betwixt the archetypal occurrence and the adjacent — accumulation took clip disconnected betwixt filming successful bid to fig retired if Paul was going to beryllium progressive successful the amusement and to what capacity, fixed the arrest. (Ultimately, Paul took a plea deal, which helped her debar jailhouse clip oregon a felony conviction.)

The archetypal play of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which premiered successful Sept. 2024, documents the highs and lows of Paul and Mortensen’s relationship. When cameras picked backmost up to movie the remainder of the season, Paul is large again. She and Mortensen determination successful together, readying to rise their babe unneurotic and commencement the adjacent signifier of their relationship. Paul finds retired astatine the extremity of the play from different #MomTokker that there’s a rumor Mortensen wasn’t afloat honorable astatine the opening of their relationship, and determination was overlap betwixt her and different woman.

In the 2nd play of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, fans ticker the fallout betwixt Paul and Mortensen arsenic they navigate their breakup. Paul gets confirmation from the different pistillate progressive successful her unintentional emotion triangle that Mortensen was, successful fact, hooking up with them some astatine the aforesaid time. It isn’t casual for Paul and Mortensen to afloat fto spell of each other, truthful viewers ticker their toxic, affectional back-and-forth.

Throughout the season, the aboriginal of #MomTok is simply a large taxable of conversation. With truthful galore fractured friendships and misalignments and their marque messaging up successful the air, the play is ripe with theatrics and discord. One of those moments occurs, again, with Paul astatine the center. After Paul was invited to be the Country Music Awards and contiguous an grant connected stage, she expressed discontent with her chap #MomTokkers for not showing her immoderate enactment connected societal media. The women retorted that they sent her backstage substance messages congratulating her and wishing her luck connected the large vocation move. Still, Paul insisted they should person written messages of nationalist enactment online.

For immoderate reason, Paul seems to find herself progressive successful galore points of conflict, whether she’s trying to marque her romanticist narration enactment with Mortensen oregon she’s warring with #MomTok members. Through it all, Paul remains candid and raw, contempt the cameras pursuing her done specified a tumultuous clip successful her life. She doesn’t shy distant from being honorable and giving viewers beauteous unlimited penetration into her life.

Now, Paul is definitively azygous and entering a caller chapter.

With Paul astatine the helm of the adjacent play of The Bachelorette, the play is definite to beryllium afloat of fireworks.

There’s nary uncertainty she's well-suited to prima connected a large world TV amusement wherever a radical of men are clamoring for her attention, particularly a amusement that’s been much accepted and structured than Secret Lives.
