Now that she’s been announced as the Season 22 Bachelorette, Taylor Frankie Paul is thinking about how she’ll handle the job. Not only has she decided what could earn a contestant a rose, but she knows why she’d send someone home.
“How you treat people is my number one,” the #MomTok star said about what she’s looking for in a partner. “Down to things like, someone in passing by, your neighbor or your server.”
“Another big one is like, ‘Does he have to be Mormon?’ … The answer’s ‘No,’ ” the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star added. “He doesn’t. I would be open to dating outside my religion and learning about new religions and trying them. That’s something I always wanted to do.”
Taylor Frankie Paul needs a man comfortable with social media videos
“I’m obviously going to ask them, ‘Are you ready to be involved with three children?'” Taylor told Good Morning America. “I think everything can be workable if two people want it and they love each other.”
As she says in her interview, “kids are important” to her. Taylor shares two children – Indy, 8, and Ocean, 5 – with her ex-husband Tate Paul. She also has a one-year-old son, Ever True, from her relationship with Dakota Mortensen.
Even though she knows that “starting a relationship on reality TV can be rocky,” she’s hopeful, because she’s seen some some turn out “great … I would love to have that,” she added.
But as far as an automatic “deal breaker” goes, the TikTok influencer isn’t interested in a man who won’t film social media videos with her. That’s her livelihood and how she provides for her kids.
Taylor, who is 31, is looking for someone between the ages of 27 and 43. On the Call Her Daddy podcast where she was announced as the new Bachelorette, she said any prospective suitors must be willing to relocate.
“I’m sorry if that is a make or break for them,” she said. “But yeah, I am in Utah, and I have two baby daddies. I’m going nowhere, so you will be moving to me in Utah.”
The Bachelorette Season 22 will air on ABC in 2026. Plus, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives returns for Season 3 on Hulu on November 13, 2025.
