\"Taylor<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Taylor Frankie Paul<\/a> was not booked for “Dancing With the Stars,” despite reports … and now we know what is likely causing the confusion.<\/p>\n

A source close to ‘DWTS’ tells TMZ … “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” and ‘Bachelorette’ star was involved with the dance competition show — but what she did is being blown out of proportion.<\/p>\n


\n \"Taylor<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

From what we’re told … on her season of “The Bachelorette” — which was shelved<\/a> — one date was a crossover with ‘DWTS’ … and it seems that ballroom scene is being conflated into something more.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A source close to TFP tells TMZ … in addition to the date, ‘DWTS’ producers gauged her interest in being a future contestant … but that’s not unusual — just ask Melissa Rycroft<\/a>, Hannah Brown, and Kaitlyn Bristowe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for whether ‘Bachelorette’ fans will ever see that crossover date … it’s still unclear — but with ‘SLOMW’ going back into production<\/a> — it stands to reason there’s gotta be ‘Bachelorette’ re-evaluation talks inside ABC.<\/p>\n


\n \"'The<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

‘SLOMW’ production sources tell TMZ … Taylor’s priority remains her kids and family, but she is not completely cutting ties with the show, as we’re told she will film<\/a> at some point.<\/p>\n

Our sources tell us cameras will go up nearly immediately … as soon as next week, and the entire cast and production crews are supportive of Taylor returning to the hit Hulu show when she’s ready.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Frankie Paul Never Booked ‘DWTS’ … But Did Cut a Rug on Her ‘Bachelorette’ Date Published April…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":600407,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[16621,88808,88,92],"class_list":{"0":"post-600406","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-dancing-with-the-stars","9":"tag-dwts","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=600406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600406\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/600407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=600406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=600406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=600406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
