Drama Unfolds in Season 3 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives

LOS ANGELES, CA — The third season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” premiered on November 13, featuring a shocking revelation involving Dakota Mortensen, who allegedly sent explicit messages to a friend of cast member Taylor Frankie Paul’s family.

The drama began brewing when a TikTok video showed Dakota lip-syncing to a famous “Friends” scene, claiming that he and Taylor were ‘on a break’ when the incident occurred. His post drew ire from fans on social media, particularly those in the MomTok community.

Commenters voiced their support for Taylor, with one user, Layla Taylor, stating, “You’re looking real brave since Taylor doesn’t have access to her phone to clap back.” She emphasized that the issue isn’t just what he did, but who he did it with.

In response, Dakota defended himself, arguing, “You’re basing it off one incident… I have every right to defend that.”

Another cast member, Mayci Neeley, criticized him for trying to justify his actions, urging him to apologize instead of doubling down on his stance.

Furthermore, Mikayla Matthews expressed skepticism about Dakota’s defense, saying, “Oh, you were on a break? That makes things SOOO much better.”

As the season progressed, Taylor confronted Dakota about the messages, which led to more tension. Despite initial hints of reconciliation, Dakota’s absence from the season finale suggested that their relationship had indeed soured further.

Fans and cast members alike confronted Dakota regarding his behavior, marking some of the season’s most explosive moments. This isn’t Dakota’s first scandal involving infidelity, and the latest revelation has reignited fans’ disappointment and anger.

The show’s eighth episode echoed Taylor’s heartbreak as she prepares for her upcoming role in a new season of “The Bachelorette,” announced for 2026. Viewers are left questioning if there’s any hope for reconciling Taylor and Dakota or if this chapter has closed for good.
