Taylor Frankie Paul Confirms She Got Engaged on Pulled ‘Bachelorette’ Season, Reveals What Happened After Filming

The 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' star opens up about what unfolded after she returned home to Utah, including reconnecting with ex Dakota Mortensen.

Taylor Frankie Paul spilled the beans to her "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" co-stars about the fate of her shelved "The Bachelorette" season, as revealed in a sneak peek of the Hulu docuseries. According to the footage, Paul admitted to her friends that after her co-stars questioned her about intimate encounters with contestants in the fantasy suites, she ultimately said no. While discussing her final rose recipient, Paul revealed that she eventually got engaged to a contestant named Doug Mason, confirming their engagement at the end of Season 22.

The news caught her co-stars off guard, with Jessi Draper remarking that Mason had previously told them he wouldn't propose. Paul admitted that the engagement didn't last long, hinting that her relationship with ex Doug Mortensen resurfaced and led to their involvement. The video controversy surrounding Paul's domestic violence arrest in 2023, as well as the subsequent custody battle, contributed to the shelving of her "The Bachelorette" season.
