Taylor Frankie Paul, star of 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives', will be the next Bachelorette. Paul, a prominent TikTok influencer and mother of three, revealed the news on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast. This is a unique choice, as she hasn't previously appeared in the Bachelor franchise. The new season is set to premiere in 2026, marking a significant departure from the usual casting practices. Paul's past includes a publicized divorce and a misdemeanor plea for aggravated assault. Despite her unique background and concerns about balancing motherhood with filming, she's embracing the opportunity.
