Hulu Shuts Down Production of ‘the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’
Taylor Frankie Paul is set to star in the upcoming season of The Bachelorette later this month. She even used social media while filming to promote the series. The reality TV star was adamant that she was very much looking to find love, despite a pretty messy romantic track record. While we have yet to find out if Paul finds her true love with the help of ABC, we can say for sure that the messiness is not yet over. A fight between Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, actually caused Hulu to halt filming of season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Hulu pauses the production of ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ season 5
Hulu is taking a step back from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives just days after viewers couldn’t stop talking about season 4 of the show. According to Reality Tea, season 5 was in the midst of filming when Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen had a massive argument that forced the crew to pause the production.
There is no word on what the argument was about or what prompted the production team to step back. Still, nothing would surprise us when it comes to Taylor and Dakota. News of the pause comes on the heels of Dakota’s shocking admission that he and Taylor slept together the night before she left to film The Bachelorette. He even suggested she might have been pregnant with his child before leaving for the dating competition.
Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen’s dramatic relationship timeline
While it’s unclear exactly what led to the drama, it must have been pretty intense. This would not be the first time the couple has battled on-camera. The duo’s relationship has been dramatic and, frankly, toxic from the very start. The pair first announced they were an item in September 2022, just a couple of months after Taylor Frankie Paul announced her split from her husband, Tate Paul.
In December 2023, after just six months together, they split up following an ectopic pregnancy. The breakup was a dramatic one. It didn’t last terribly long, though. They rekindle their romance a month later. The honeymoon phase never existed for this duo, though. By February 2023, they had an argument so heated that police were called. Paul was arrested for aggravated assault and a slew of other charges. She eventually pleaded guilty to aggravated assault.
While that should have been the end of the relationship, it was not. In June 2023, they confirmed they were still together and, eventually, announced a pregnancy. Their son, Ever True Mortensen, was born in March 2024; they split, again, in December of that year. Since then, they’ve had an on-again-off-again romance, with hookups and plenty of dramatic moments. Apparently, that remains an ongoing issue, so we can assume
