NEWSDid Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen Break Up? Why 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Fans Are Convinced They Split
Taylor Frankie Paul has fueled Dakota Mortensen split rumors with a string of suspicious social media posts.
Taylor Frankie Paul might be a single mom again, as fans are speculating The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star called it quits on her relationship with boyfriend Dakota Mortensen.
The reality television star and #MomTok OG has fueled rumors of a potential breakup just six months after the tumultuous couple welcomed their baby boy, Ever, back in March.
Taylor Frankie Paul started dating Dakota Mortensen in 2022, a few months after announcing her divorce from ex-husband Tate Paul.
Whispers started spreading after Paul, 30, posted a cryptic message to her Instagram Story over the weekend alongside a photo of herself snuggling her youngest son.
"Here's to a new chapter of my life, I think I'll be most challenging, yet most rewarding," Paul wrote, prompting fans to speculate that the "new chapter" might be without Mortensen after Season 1 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives showcased some toxic problems within the duo's relationship.

Paul further fueled rumors when she shared a video to TikTok on Sunday, September 22, of herself visibly in tears dancing around to Ella Henderson's hit 2014 song "Ghost," as text pasted over the clip stated: "Not me slowing morphing into 2022 me."
"Plz no. We don’t want her back," Taylor — who announced her divorce from ex-husband Tate Paul in May 2022 — captioned the post.

Dakota added a layer of confusion to the situation, however, as he commented, "stay tuned…" causing some suspicious fans to wonder if the couple was playing into rumors as a way to boost engagement in their content and keep viewers on their toes ahead of a potential second season of the hit Hulu reality series.
A few fans of Taylor have a theory she and Dakota are actually getting married — which is something the dad-of-one was pushing for throughout the entirety of Season 1 — though the mom-of-three, who shares her daughter, Indy, 7, and son Ocean, 4, with her ex-husband, had strong feelings about not wanting to tie the knot again so soon after her divorce from Tate.
If Dakota and Taylor did break up, it was rather recently, as the duo packed on the PDA in New York City on September 11, when they brought their baby boy to watch the New York Yankees play in the Bronx inside of a private suite with their family and friends.
