Taylor Frankie Paul Admits She Hooked Up With Her Ex After Getting Engaged on The Bachelorette

Taylor Frankie Paul is not holding back. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star confirmed that she got engaged during her unaired season of The Bachelorette, but the plot twist is what happened next. After returning home from filming, she hooked up with her ex Dakota Mortensen, and she’s now owning the whole thing publicly. The confession was revealed in a preview clip for season five of SLOMW, with her costars reacting in real time to the news.

The clip, which was shared via Hulu’s“Get Real”podcast, shows Taylor’s friends processing this revelation. Costar Mikayla Matthews replied,“I think I know how that happened,”which seems like the only acceptable response. Taylor later took to Instagram to take full responsibility, writing“When I say we, I mean me.”That caption says everything, honestly. She’s taking the blame, but she’s also making it clear that the full story is not out yet.

Here’s where it gets complicated, because Taylor and Dakota also share a son and currently have mutual protective orders requiring 100 feet of distance from each other. That adds a serious layer to an already messy situation. Taylor is teasing that the season premiere on September 10 will reveal an even bigger spoiler than this one. What could possibly top an engagement followed by an ex hookup? We’re going to have to tune in to find out. Do you think reality TV engagements are ever real, or are they just for the cameras?
