Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen have had a rocky, highly publicised relationship across the show’s run.
In season two, Taylor discovered Dakota had been dishonest about his behaviour early in their relationship, which led to a painful confrontation and a breakup after Taylor followed a tip and spoke to a woman connected to Dakota’s past.
Dakota later admitted to lying and breaking Taylor’s trust. Those revelations were shown on camera and discussed widely in episode recaps, per People.
In season three, the controversy continued when Taylor accused Dakota of exchanging sexual messages with someone close to her family. That allegation escalated quickly. Cast members publicly criticised Dakota. Taylor confronted the situation on camera, and Dakota posted a TikTok jokingly referencing being “on a break,” which many saw as tone deaf.
Dakota has pushed back against being labelled a cheater in some of his public replies. But the conversations and message screenshots shown in the series have amplified the claim, reported Cosmopolitan.

The season two storyline revolved around a woman named Jenna. And Taylor confronting her revealed texts and timelines that made it pretty clear Dakota had kept things secret.
That betrayal was a big turning point. Taylor confronted him on camera, and the fallout helped drive their first major break.
Then in season three, things got even more tangled. Taylor accused Dakota of sexting with a close friend of her mother. The woman isn’t named on camera, but Taylor says she’s “basically family,” which made the allegations hit extra hard.
As part of this, there’s a lot of discussion about messages, voice calls, and a clear breach of trust, per Meaww.
On top of that, a new round of speculation emerged after videos from the Mormon Wives season three launch party surfaced.
In clips shared online, Dakota is seen chatting in a flirty way with Brooks Nader, leading to dating rumours, per The Independent.
However, Mormon Wives cast member Jessi Ngatikaura weighed in, saying she didn’t interpret the interaction as romantic at first.
She later admitted that after watching the footage, she saw chemistry, but she also defended Dakota’s humour, saying he often jokes with himself to cope, reported Elite Daily.
That crossover moment fueled all kinds of chatter. But Brooks later denied anything serious, stating that she’s “single as can be” and that the flirtation was just friendly, reported Us Weekly.
