Taylor Frankie Paul was never going to have a quiet reality TV era, but even by her standards, this moment feels extra chaotic.<\/p>\n
Between The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/a>, the never-ending Dakota drama, and a Bachelorette season already drowning in spoilers before it\u2019s even fully played out, people are trying to keep up with a seriously messy love triangle situation.<\/p>\n The biggest question right now is whether all that drama followed her onto The Bachelorette<\/a>, and, more importantly, whether her final choice actually stuck once the cameras stopped rolling.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019ve watched Taylor for more than five minutes, you already know calm, straightforward romance is not really her brand.<\/p>\n Her relationship with Dakota Mortensen<\/a> has been one of the most talked-about storylines in the Mormon Wives universe, and that drama has only intensified in 2026.<\/p>\n Taylor has publicly said she is now in \u201cno contact\u201d with Dakota and described their relationship as an \u201caddictive cycle,\u201d while PEOPLE<\/a> reported that both of them are involved in an ongoing domestic assault investigation confirmed by Draper City Police.<\/p>\n The outlet also reported<\/a> that the two now use a third party to communicate while co-parenting their son.<\/p>\n Instead of going into her Bachelorette journey as a totally fresh-faced lead with a clean slate, Taylor arrived with a very public, very complicated ex still hovering around.<\/p>\n She\u2019s also admitted the timing of everything has made it hard to enjoy what should have been a huge career moment, saying filming the show felt like an escape from the \u201ctoxicity\u201d she was dealing with back in Utah, per PEOPLE<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A post shared by Doug Mason (@_dougmason)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nTaylor and Dakota\u2019s drama has gone off the charts<\/h2>\n
People want to know who she ends up with on The Bachelorette<\/h2>\n
