Taylor Frankie Paul’s Limited Return
Taylor Frankie Paul is set to return for Season 5 of “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” but her involvement will be limited to filming the opening credits. The influencer is scheduled to shoot the intro over the next two days, but she will not appear in the episodes that follow.
Focus on Family and Legal Matters
While she won’t be joining the rest of the cast, sources indicate that Paul might make an appearance later in the season. Currently, she is prioritizing her family as she navigates ongoing custody battles with her ex-partners, Dakota Mortensen and Tate Paul. The entire cast and production crew have expressed their support for her eventual return.
Custody Battles and Legal Issues
Paul’s participation in the new season was uncertain after she entered a rehab facility earlier this month. She shares two children, Indy, 8, and Ocean, 6, with Tate, and a younger son, Ever, 2, with Mortensen. Recently, Tate filed for a temporary restraining order against her and sought sole custody of their two children.
In March, Mortensen was granted temporary sole custody of Ever, while Paul received supervised visitation due to concerns about her behavior. The situation escalated after a video of a domestic dispute between Paul and Mortensen surfaced, leading to multiple domestic violence investigations, none of which resulted in charges.
Recent Court Developments
In their latest custody hearing, Mortensen faced criticism from a judge for riding a motorcycle with his young son. The judge advised against such activities, emphasizing safety. Meanwhile, Paul has had her visitation rights expanded during this ongoing legal struggle.
