She admits in one clip that she didn\u2019t believe she necessarily deserved \u201cbetter\u201d than her exes \u2014\u00a0including those who have cheated on her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cAm I worthy of love? Is it even possible?\u201d she asks in the clip. \u201cAs a single mom, I want to better myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At the end of the video, though, 31-year-old Paul appears eager to step into the future. She breaks the phone screen she\u2019s trapped in and appears in a more relaxed outfit, swapping the red gown for a long-sleeved top and sweats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s not the only hint from ABC that Paul is ready to break out of the box that people, and even herself, have put her in. A promotional image for the new season shows Paul breaking out of a Barbie-like box. Her accessories include \u201cThe Book of More Men,\u201d a cheeky nod to her faith.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Utah resident and mom of three rose to fame on TikTok in 2022 as part of a community of Mormon mothers.\u00a0 At the time she began her social media career, Paul was married to Tate Paul, with whom she shares two kids. However, in 2022, the couple ended their marriage, leading to speculation about infidelity on Paul\u2019s part. Then, Paul dropped a bombshell on her followers when she alleged that she and her friends were involved in \u201csoft-swinging.\u201d The drama led to increased public interest in the community and, eventually, the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tech.yahoo.com\/streaming\/review\/hulu-review-183007028.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Hulu;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Hulu<\/a> reality show <em>The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>Paul in an ad for Season 22 of The Bachelorette.<\/p>\n<p><span>(ABC)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Paul later entered into a tumultuous relationship with Dakota Mortensen.
