How Dakota Mortensen Feels About Taylor Frankie Paul as Bachelorette

Dakota Mortensen is taking his ex’s dating update in stride.

Taylor Frankie Paul‘s ex-boyfriend, who is Ever’s (age 17 months) father, expressed his thoughts about her Bachelorette journey in a humorous way by asking about her audition process. He shared a video of him lip-synching to Lindsay Lohan’s mock dating video for eHarmony from 2009, adding the caption “Is this how it goes to become the next Bachelor?

Dakota wrote over the Sept. 11 Instagram clip, “Is this how it works to be the next Bachelor?”

In a recent Instagram post on September 11th, he quietly expressed that he is Lindsay and currently seeking a partner. He seems to be single lately and desires someone who could potentially share his remaining time, whether it’s the rest of his life or simply the remainder of his probation.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star continued, sharing that she is versatile and has multiple talents including acting, singing, and being an entrepreneur.

To clarify, if anyone among his fans suspected he was making a jibe at Taylor, Dakota, who is 32 years old, clearly stated that it was all in jest before extending warm greetings to his former partner.

He jokingly captioned the post with ‘everyone calm down, laugh out loud’, but in all seriousness, I’m genuinely happy for Tay. I wish her all the happiness she deserves, regardless of the circumstances.

A day later, Dakota gave a clearer response following his earlier mysterious post that hinted at Taylor being cast as the star for season 22 of ‘The Bachelorette’.

During the pre-recorded interview on September 10, Taylor clarified that it is unclear whether he was aware of my opportunity at the time or has become aware since then. Thus, he will find out more details by Wednesday.

In my professional opinion as a lifestyle advisor, I shared with him, at age 31, I anticipated his disappointment upon learning the news. However, it’s important to note that Dakota was already aware of my new romantic involvements, as our relationship had officially ended earlier in the year and I had moved on.

As she said, “We’ve already had that first hurt, I guess.”

During the pre-recorded interview broadcast on September 10, Taylor clarified, “I wasn’t sure whether he was aware or had been previously informed about my chance. Hence, by this Wednesday, he will be in the know.

The 31-year-old expressed that she believed he would feel sad upon learning the news, yet affirmed that Dakota was already aware of her seeing other people since they had officially ended their relationship earlier in the year.

The 31-year-old stated that she expected him to be upset when finding out, but assured that Dakota was previously made aware that she’d been dating others, as their split was confirmed earlier this year.

As she said, “We’ve already had that first hurt, I guess.”

And will Dakota be watching her search for a husband? Taylor thinks he will be.

She pondered, “It seems like he’s constantly observing. Perhaps if he encounters a new person and focuses on her, things might change. I can’t predict for certain.
