Will Taylor Frankie Paul’s Bachelorette Season Air? Disney Exec Says…

by

Taylor Frankie Paul‘s roses are still up in the air.

Just one month after ABC pulled the already-completed season of The Bachelorette three days before it was scheduled to air, Disney executive Rob Mills discussed the possibility of the 22nd season eventually being broadcast.

According to an ABC executive, the network is taking things one step at a time as they assess the future of The Bachelor franchise. In a recent interview, they explained they are still working through everything and planning for upcoming seasons, carefully considering all options.

While the network is currently concentrating on the male version of the show, they are also making sure Paul is doing okay. Her season was cut short after a video from 2023 showed a disagreement with her then-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, became public.

The executive explained that the network’s priority is simply ensuring Taylor Swift and her family are well and receiving personal support during this time.

Will any of the contestants from Paul’s season of The Bachelor be the ones handing out the roses in season 30?

Mills said they’re willing to explore all kinds of ideas. The success of The Golden Bachelor proves this format works well for telling many different stories.

At its heart, it’s about sharing the story of someone with a promising future.

Disney Entertainment decided to cancel Paul’s season of The Bachelorette after a video surfaced showing him throwing bar stools during a fight. The spokesperson told TopMob News that during the altercation, Paul accidentally hit a woman, identified as Mortensen, and the 5-year-old daughter of his ex-husband, Tate Paul.

Following the release of a new video today, we’ve decided to postpone the upcoming season of The Bachelorette. Our priority right now is supporting the involved family.

Production of season five of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which streams on Hulu, was temporarily halted in February after a reported disagreement between Paul and Mortensen. However, TopMob News has learned that filming will resume shortly.

And there may be a chance that Paul will be making her return to the series at some point. 

According to a source, Taylor is currently focusing on her well-being and spending time with her family. The source also shared that Hulu has been understanding and supportive throughout this time.

Oh my gosh, I heard from someone who knows things that she wants to come back to the show eventually! It just isn’t the right time right now. Apparently, she’s prioritizing her family and making sure she’s okay, which, good for her! But the best part? They said when she’s ready, they’ll be totally welcoming her back with open arms. I’m already counting down the days!

Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen began dating while appearing on the show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and had a son, Ever, together in 2024. However, their relationship ended because Dakota was unfaithful.

Taylor shared on the second episode of her Hulu series that things were going wonderfully with Dakota after their daughter Ever was born – she was even thinking about getting engaged. However, she soon discovered he had been dishonest with her the entire time.

Taylor was accused by a woman named Jenna of having a relationship with Dakota, claiming they had been intimate on multiple occasions. Taylor has publicly denied these accusations, stating in a TikTok post from September 2024 that he was faithful.

On the series, Taylor said that Dakota accused Jenna of instigating their affair.

She told the confessional that it was him, not her. He admitted to kissing her on the couch, and then they became intimate there before moving to another room.

After her breakup with the founder of Basin Tiling, the mother of three (including two children with her former husband, Tate Paul) was preparing to look for love again on season 22 of The Bachelorette. However, things became complicated in March 2026 when reports surfaced of a possible argument between her and her ex-husband a few weeks prior.

A representative from the Draper City Police Department told People magazine they are investigating a reported domestic assault. Both individuals involved have accused each other.

A video from earlier in 2023 showing a fight between Taylor and Dakota appeared online a few days later. As a result, ABC canceled Taylor’s season of the dating show she was on.

I’ve been following Whitney and Connor Leavitt for years, and it’s so lovely to see them together! They’re a perfect match – they actually met as dance partners and got married back in 2016. Of course, being in the public eye hasn’t always been easy for them, especially while raising their three adorable kids: Sedona, Liam, and Billy. But they always seem to handle everything with grace.

For instance, the Dancing With the Stars alum had to shut down rumors about her husband’s sexuality.

Honestly, the questions about my relationship were getting a little ridiculous! I was on the Off the Vine podcast last October, and I jokingly asked if I needed to resort to something extreme – like, a sex tape – just to prove things were okay. But really, we’re great. Everything is genuinely fine, and I wanted to make that clear.

She explained that he had struggled with a pornography addiction during a difficult personal time – something I hadn’t witnessed firsthand. She mentioned a scene where a friend observed his sexual confusion, suggesting it was apparent to others.

Despite facing challenges, the reality star shared that she and her husband, Connor, are more solid as a couple than ever before. They even reaffirmed their commitment by renewing their wedding vows in February 2026, celebrating their tenth anniversary.

Conner shared with Brides that they married young and felt their wedding was as much about celebrating their families as it was about their own commitment. They wanted to create a day that truly reflected them as a couple, and they felt this was a fun way to do just that.

Jen and Zac Affleck, who are not related to Ben Affleck despite what people joke, have been married since 2019, but rumors about them splitting up have circulated since the beginning of their time in the public eye.

A major argument sparked by Jen going to a Chippendales show in Las Vegas was a central storyline in the first season. Despite the fight, the couple – who are parents to Nora, Penelope, and Lucas – reconciled, and the Dancing With the Stars contestant later spoke out to support their relationship.

Jen explained to TopMob News in November 2025 that constantly hearing the same rumors was exhausting. She said she’s learned to expect people to talk and share their opinions, but she feels it’s frustrating for the person at the center of the speculation when others don’t understand the hard work and dedication he’s putting in privately.

She and Zac are prioritizing their well-being and trying to ignore outside distractions. She mentioned it’s still a challenge for him, though.

Problems surfaced in Jessi Draper and Jordan Ngatikaura’s five-year marriage after Jessi confessed to an emotional connection with Marciano Brunette from Vanderpump Villa. Despite early hopes for improvement, their relationship hit a rough patch.

Jessi and Jordan are giving their relationship another try. Jessi, who shares two children, Jagger and Jovi, with Jordan, told TopMob News in November 2025 that they’re working through things. She explained that relationships aren’t always easy, and it will take time and effort to rebuild, but they’re hopeful for the future.

Unfortunately, the couple’s attempt to reconcile didn’t last. Jordan, who also has a daughter named Peyton from a previous relationship, filed for divorce in March 2026, ending their five-year marriage.

A few days later, Jessi expressed shock at his filing, claiming he hurried to submit the documents simply to be the first to make headlines.

She said she was upset to learn the news, explaining that she and her husband had planned to tell their children together before officially separating, but hadn’t had the chance yet. TopMob contacted Jordan’s lawyers for a response, but they haven’t replied.

Mayci never thought she’d find love again, especially after her boyfriend, Arik Mack, unexpectedly passed away in 2015. She was 14 weeks pregnant with their son, Hudson, at the time and had already accepted the idea of raising him on her own. She didn’t anticipate finding a partner like Jacob Neeley.

But it all changed when she met Jacob in 2016 at age 21, whom she would marry two years later.

In her memoir, Told You So, Mayci explained that she was hesitant to open up after past experiences, but she and Jacob connected quickly. They remained friends for a while, which made her comfortable with him meeting her son since they weren’t seriously dating at the time.

She explained that Jacob was wonderful with him, and that made him even more appealing. Although she was afraid of getting hurt again, she couldn’t ignore her feelings after four months. He was a kind, funny person who made her feel secure.

Mayci and Jacob went on to welcome daughters Harlow in 2021 and Charli in 2025.

Demi Engemann married Bret Engemann in 2021, following her divorce from Blake Corbin the previous year. Their relationship, which was featured on a reality show, gained attention when Whitney gave Demi Fruity Pebbles, leading to discussions about their intimacy.

Jessi revealed in a November 2025 Instagram post the surprising reason behind the joke gift: her grandfather, Bret, drinks her urine, comparing the taste to dirty soda and drinking it quickly like water.

Demi and Bret aren’t upset about the past—or a past accident. She told Entertainment Tonight in December that they’ve decided to accept everything that happened and just enjoy life together.

Despite some attention on their intimate life, the couple is happily navigating life as a blended family. Demi has a daughter named Maude from a previous relationship, and Bret has two sons, Rome and Cole, with Angie Harrington, who is known from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

In June 2024, Demi shared on Instagram how incredibly loving and dedicated her husband is to his children, both his own and stepdaughter Maude. She expressed her amazement at his unwavering commitment as a father and step-father, even when facing life’s challenges, and looks forward to their future as parents together.

Mikayla Matthews and Jace Terry have a long history together. They first met in 2015, when Mikayla was 15 years old, and had their son, Beckham, in 2017. They married in 2018 and have since welcomed three more children: Haven, Tommie, and Lottie.

Mikayla and Jace are enjoying raising their four children, but Mikayla has expressed a desire to have more kids in the future.

In a February 2025 interview with People magazine, she said she’s always pictured having three or four children, but wouldn’t rule out having six. She’s also looking forward to moving to a new house with a large yard, ideally big enough for a lot of kids to play in.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following Mikayla and Jace’s journey, and in a recent episode of their show, Mikayla shared that they’re hitting a rough patch. They’ve decided to take some time apart to work through challenges they’re having with intimacy. It’s tough stuff, but it’s good they’re addressing it and prioritizing their individual needs right now.

Mikayla’s marriage suffered as she began to deal with the painful memories of sexual abuse she experienced as a teenager, and as her long-term illness worsened with increased stress.

Talking about sex or intimacy is really difficult for me,” she told Jace. “It feels overwhelming because I’m already constantly on edge and stressed. I just don’t have any emotional capacity left to deal with it.”

Layla Taylor and Clayton Wessel, parents of Oliver and Maxwell, got divorced in 2023. Later, in July 2025, Layla hinted at a new relationship with Mason McWhorter.

Okay, so things were a little tangled with Mason and Layla’s connection. It’s a bit to explain – Mason’s brother is Chase McWhorter, and he used to be married to Miranda McWhorter, who actually works with Layla! Despite all that family history, they were both ready to see if their feelings were strong enough to make things work. I was really rooting for them!

In November 2025, Layla told Us that while she’s currently hesitant about marriage, she’s focused on building a deep connection with someone first. She expressed contentment with her relationship with Mason, adding that they would consider marriage if the situation ever arose.

Unfortunately, the mom of two confirmed that she and Mason had split in February 2026.

Layla explained that she and her partner were simply growing in different directions, and he needed space to pursue his own path. She understands and respects his choice, and wishes him all the best.

Miranda joined the show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives in its second season and quickly became central to the widely discussed “soft swinging scandal” involving MomTok. However, despite the controversy with Taylor, Miranda has stated that this wasn’t the cause of her divorce from Chase in 2024.

She explained on the Weekly Trash podcast in August 2024 that the reasons for their breakup had been building for a long time, well before the final split. While recent events may not have helped, she emphasized they weren’t a factor in the decision.

Nonetheless, she and Chase have been committed to parenting their kids Brooks and Cohen.

She thought that coparenting always requires effort. She added that if they’d had a perfect relationship, they likely wouldn’t have gotten divorced in the first place.

We’ve always been good friends, even before we became a couple,” she explained. “I think that strong friendship is a big reason we’re able to co-parent successfully.”
