‘The Bachelorette’ Post-Oscars Special Showed How Taylor Frankie Paul Plans to Run Her Dramatic Season

Immediately following the Oscars on Sunday night, ABC aired The Bachelorette: Before the First Rose, a special in which former Bachelorettes offered advice to the franchise’s new lead, Taylor Frankie Paul, ahead of her upcoming season.

While Paul is new to Bachelor Nation — and the first Bachelorette selected from outside the franchise — she’s already a reality TV star in her own right. The 31-year-old broke out on Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which recently debuted its fourth season. Paul first rose to fame as the founder of MomTok, the Utah-based mom influencer group. She is also a mother of three.

Following The Bachelorette: Before the First Rose, TMZ and People reported that filming for season five of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives had paused due to an alleged domestic incident involving Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, the father of one of her children.
