\u201cThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives\u201d star Taylor Frankie revealed on \u201cCall Her Daddy\u201d that she would be the suitor on the 22nd season of \u201cThe Bachelorette,\u201d and Mortensen shared his response via his Instagram story.<\/p>\n
He shared a selfie which had text on top of it saying, “Had so many curve balls today and everytime [sic] I am always reminded there is nothing more important than God and family,” he wrote in overlaying text. “Life is to [sic] short.”<\/p>\n
During Paul\u2019s \u201cCHD” appearance, host Alex Cooper asked the reality star when she last \u201chooked up\u201d with her ex when she admitted the pair might have done the deed while they were at Stagecoach.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe one after. It\u2019s very confusing,\u201d Taylor tells Cooper. A clip of this moment was uploaded to TikTok<\/a>, where Mortensen chimed in with a snarky comment reading, \u201c1 or 2 timesGot it lol.\u201d <\/p>\n Paul admitted that she did not give her ex the heads up of her casting news, \u201cI have not confirmed it with him. So I don\u2019t know if he knows or if he knew I had the opportunity. So he\u2019ll know Wednesday,\u201d she shared with Cooper.<\/p>\n When asked about how her ex would handle this news, Paul admits he would be \u201cprobably sad.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf anything he says is real, I would say sad,\u201d Paul added. \u201cHe does know that I was dating and, you know, meeting people, so that we’ve already had that first hurt, I guess. I think that’s the hardest part is when you see their first dating or hookup or whatever it is. That’s gonna always take a toll no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe Bachelorette\u201d will air in 2026, but \u201cThe Secret Lives of Mormon Wives\u201d premieres on Hulu on Nov. 13 with all 10 episodes dropping at once.<\/p>\n
