The duo first met when she and her Mormon Wives castmates visited the villa in August 2024. They then shared a kiss about a month after the visit. <\/p>\n\u201cI definitely would change having an affair,\u201d she explained. \u201cI definitely wouldn\u2019t want to do that again, especially publicly. Definitely a huge mistake.\u201d <\/p>\n

Draper Reveals One Thing She Misses About Life Before Reality TV Fame <\/h2>\n
Continuing to speak about her reality TV career, Draper opened up about what she misses about life before fame. <\/p>\n
\u201cI do miss not having eyes on you at all times. By my own fault, I posted my car, so everyone knows what I drive,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I\u2019m driving down the freeway, it\u2019s like pictures, pictures, video, people waving. Which is so nice, but sometimes I\u2019m like, \u201cAw shiz. That probably wasn\u2019t the best idea.\u201d<\/p>\n
While sharing the advice she would give to those who want to go into reality TV, Draper said, \u201cTo be vulnerable. You\u2019ve got to just be authentic. The audience can read if you\u2019re not, so just being who you really are.\u201d<\/p>\n
She also pointed out when everyone should stay out of drama or take part. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think you just have to be genuine. You have to know when it involves you,\u201d Draper stated. \u201cIf you\u2019re trying to make a story for yourself, or trying to insert yourself into something where you don\u2019t belong, that\u2019s not going to read as authentic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Regarding how close the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast is, Draper added, \u201cWe are there for each other. There are friendships that are closer than others. We have a group message where we\u2019re all super-supportive of each other. I think what\u2019s important in friendships is when you\u2019re at a really low moment in your life \u2014 which Taylor Frankie Paul has been, I have been recently \u2014 just having friends check in on you and call you and ask, \u2018Are you okay?\u2019 That\u2019s been really helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
