SURPRISE! 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' star Taylor Frankie Paul is named the next 'Bachelorette'

Paul’s season of ‘The Bachelorette’ premieres in 2026. Her other show, ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,’ drops Nov. 13 on Hulu

LOS ANGELES — From #Momtok to the Mansion!

“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Taylor Frankie Paul has been named the next “Bachelorette.”

The announcement was made on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. On Tuesday, host Alex Cooper teased a big announcement.

It’s a shakeup that’s sure to get Bachelor Nation talking.

Paul is a single mother of three credited with creating #MomTok, a collective of Mormon moms who gained fame on TikTok. Their engaging stories inspired the Hulu series “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” which is gearing up for its third season.

Paul has been in the spotlight more than once, notably due to a scandal that ended her first marriage. Her tumultuous relationship with Dakota Mortensen, who is the father of her third child, has been extensively documented for audiences to see.

During the season two premiere of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” in May, On The Red Carpet interviewed Paul. She shared that therapy has been crucial in managing the chaos in her life.

“A significant amount of therapy is invaluable in gaining the skills needed to handle everything. It’s about living it, watching it, and living it again. I now possess all the tools,” she stated.

Whether she appears on social media or her television series, Paul remains unapologetically authentic. She’s genuine, she’s unfiltered, and she is now ready to venture into the dating world once more.

The new season of “The Bachelorette” will premiere next year on ABC and stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.

But you’ll see more of Paul when season three of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” premieres November 13 on Hulu.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of this ABC station.
