Facing 25 hot guys on the first night of your new job could be pretty daunting. So it’s a good thing that new Bachelorette and reality TV star Taylor Frankie Paul has someone in her corner who’s been there.
I’m sure there are many among Bachelor Nation ready to give Taylor advice. Though some felt the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star was a questionable choice for the crossover, one Bachelor Season 24 alum has stepped up to offer a few words of wisdom.
Hannah Ann Sluss gave advice about Taylor Frankie Paul joining the Bachelor Nation
Knowing a thing or two about how the show runs makes Hannah Ann Sluss the perfect mentor for Taylor. “I would just say, enjoy it,” Hannah told Us Weekly. “She’s really going to take off and have so many fun opportunities.”
“I cannot wait to watch her on TV,” the new mom added. “I haven’t watched the show in a few years, but … I’m such a fan. [Specifically,] I love how authentic she is, and I think she’s really going to bring in the viewers. So I would just say, enjoy it, because I know she’s going to do such a great job.”
According to Hannah, Taylor’s the “perfect pick” for The Bachelorette. She already has a built-in fan base from her three seasons of SLOMW. Fans have followed the ups and downs of her love life, following her divorce and on/off relationship with Dakota Mortensen. She and Dakota share a one-year-old son, Ever. She also has two children with her ex-husband Tate Paul: Indy, eight, and Ocean, five.
“[Taylor’s] already very comfortable on camera,” Hannah noted. “She’s already gone through, you know, the first time when you’re on TV, like, all the backlash. So I feel like [she’ll be] very confident and comfortable … I think she is the absolute best pick, and I cannot wait.”
Following her time dating Peter Weber, Hannah married NFL running back Jake Funk in an Italian wedding back in June 2024. The couple welcomed their first child Lucas James on November 20.
The Bachelorette Season 22 premieres on March 22, 2026, at 8/7c on ABC.
