“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” has halted production as cast member Taylor Frankie Paul is investigated for alleged domestic violence against her ex Dakota Mortensen.
“They are not filming,” People confirmed Monday. “Taylor [Frankie Paul] has some pretty serious stuff happening regarding her past, and they will see what happens. Until that resolves, they are off.”
Draper City Police Department told the outlet that “allegations have been made in both directions.”
The spokesperson clarified that “contact was made with involved parties on [Feb.] 24th and 25th.”
No further details were provided on the former couple’s alleged altercation.
The duo, who dated on and off between 2022 and 2024, co-parent a 1-year-old son named Ever.
Before calling it quits for good, the pair briefly broke up in 2023 over Paul allegedly throwing a chair at Mortensen that instead hit her daughter.
Paul, who shares daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5, with her ex-husband, was arrested at the time and charged with misdemeanor assault, criminal mischief and commission of domestic violence in the presence of a child.
She told “Call Her Daddy” listeners in September 2025 — while promoting her upcoming season of “The Bachelorette,” premiering Sunday — that the charges “were all dropped.”
Although Paul and Mortensen, 33, reconciled in 2023, the Hulu personalities broke up again the following year.
The MomTok star confirmed in last year’s podcast interview that she and Mortensen were done “for good” despite multiple hookup “setbacks.”
However, the Season 4 finale of “SLOMW” on Thursday revealed Mortensen and Paul hooked up the night before the latter left to film “The Bachelorette.”
In a confessional, Mortensen said, “She’s leaving and I’m not going to talk to her for, I think, two months. I’d be lying if I didn’t think there was a piece of me that just kind of wanted to go … see her [and] be with her, like, possibly for the last time.”
He was filmed leaving Paul’s home the morning after stopping by with Ever, laughing when a producer asked what happened.
As the on-again, off-again couple’s latest dispute makes headlines, a source told People that Paul’s co-stars — Jen Affleck, Demi Engemann, Whitney Leavitt, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley, Jessi Ngatikaura, Layla Taylor and Miranda McWhorter — “don’t want to be associated with her.”
