‘Mormon Wives’ star Taylor Frankie Paul will not face new domestic violence charges

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Taylor Frankie Paul, a star of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives ” and a recently scrubbed season of “The Bachelorette,” will not be charged in recent fights with her former partner, the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.

Police in the Salt Lake City suburbs of Draper City and West Jordan have been investigating claims of domestic violence from 2024 and this February from Paul’s ex-partner Dakota Mortensen, the father of her 2-year-old son. Paul has also made allegations against Mortensen, but those were not addressed in the documents.

Any new charges against Paul would have violated her probation, which stemmed from a 2023 assault on Mortensen.

The pair has filed dueling petitions for protective orders against one another that will be the subject of an upcoming hearing.
