Reality TV is about to enter its Taylor Frankie Paul era. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives drops on March 12 and chronicles the weeks and months leading up to Taylor going on The Bachelorette, and then The Bachelorette premieres on March 22. It’s a lot! Especially when you consider that the trailer for Mormon Wives teased that Taylor might be…the first pregnant Bachelorette? Yeah, about that.
Taylor chatted to Us Weekly for her first post-Bachelorette interview, and was asked “The Wives trailer also suggests that you might be the first pregnant Bachelorette.” Her response? “Do I look pregnant? Just look at me and make your observation there. That’s all I’ve got to say.”
Taylor also spoke about her struggle to mov on from Dakota Mortensen, saying that ahead of Bachelorette she was “just still in the same cycle that I’ve been in for a while now, and it’s been really hard to get out … It’s been so hard to remove myself from that.” Going on the show was an attempt to do just that. As Taylor put it, “I made the decision to leave for two months and try. I reassured them that was why I was here.”
As for concern that her contestants might think she was still hung up on Dakota, Tay said “That’s completely valid to think that and to see that. It took me making those decisions [with Dakota] to be ready for something else. A lot of these decisions aren’t the best, but I think I’m so open with it and honest, and even as many times as I backtracked, I still am open. Something I’ve [also] learned over the course of time is being OK being misunderstood.”
