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 who is known as the creator of #MomTok, a group of Mormon moms who went viral on TikTok. Their content and their stories led to the creation of the Hulu series, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” which is now going on its third season.

She’s been known to grab a headline or two, including her part in a scandal that led to the end of her first marriage. Her relationship with Dakota Mortensen, the father of her third child, had its ups and downs and it’s all played out in front of the cameras.

On The Red Carpet spoke to Paul at the season two premiere of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” in May. She told us then that she’s been dealing with the chaos of her life by healing through therapy.

“An immense amount of therapy does help you get the tools to learn how to navigate the situation. One, living it and two having to watch it and live it again. I now have all the tools,” she said.

Whether it’s on social media or on her show, Paul has been unapologetically herself. She’s raw, she’s real and now she is ready for another shot at finding love.

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.
