The upcoming season 4 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” is stirring excitement, especially with a teaser revealing that Taylor Frankie Paul might face the prospect of pregnancy just before she embarks on her new role as the lead of “The Bachelorette.” Hulu shared the trailer on January 21, showcasing a visibly upset Taylor, 31, expressing her frustrations during a phone call with the words, “I hate all of you because you all knew.”
The sneak peek hints at intense drama within the MomTok community, culminating in a notable moment where Jessi Ngatikaura poses the question of whether Taylor will be a “pregnant Bachelorette.” Taylor was announced as the star of season 22 of “The Bachelorette” in September 2025, shortly after fans witnessed her relationship with ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen unravel during season 3 of her current show.
Taylor previously had an intriguing relationship with Dakota, 32, after going through a tumultuous divorce from her first husband, Tate Paul, with whom she has two children. Their relationship was highlighted by the fallout of their “soft swinging” scandal. The series, which debuted in September 2024, depicted their challenges, including welcoming their son Ever, now 22 months old. Following their separation, Taylor spoke candidly about their co-parenting journey, revealing that while navigating this new dynamic has been challenging, significant progress has been made.
“We’ve obviously come a long way to navigate coparenting,” Taylor shared in May 2025. “It’s different from my first husband because there’s obviously a friendship there. We adjusted. Whereas with Dakota, everything’s fresh. It’s something that we necessarily didn’t want to do but needed to separate.” She acknowledged that the situation was difficult, particularly so soon after bringing a child into the world, but expressed hope for their future co-parenting relationship.
The complexities of Taylor and Dakota’s romance were prominently featured in the series, including their attempts to reconcile while filming season 3, which premiered in November 2025. However, Dakota’s alleged inappropriate messages to a family friend derailed any hopes for rekindling their relationship. He spoke on the “The Viall Files” about the unique challenges that reality television brings, particularly how it could distort the personal experiences they faced.
As the drama unfolds, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” is set to return to Hulu on March 12, while “The Bachelorette” will make its debut on ABC on March 22. The anticipation for these new seasons offers a glimpse of personal growth and transformation amidst the turbulent backdrop of reality television, leaving fans eager to see how Taylor navigates this phase of her life.
