- The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Dakota Mortensen appears to have soft launched his new relationship.
- Dakota teased the news during the same week that his ex, Taylor Frankie Paul, was filming The Bachelorette finale.
- Dakota and Taylor are on bad terms due to him flirtatiously texting a family friend.
Taylor Frankie Paul is currently filming the finale of The Bachelorette, and if you're wondering what her ex is up to while she's potentially getting engaged, that would be...debuting his new relationship. Interesting timing!
Dakota Mortensen hopped onto Instagram to soft launch his new girlfriend, posting a picture of her hair covering his face, along with one of her hand during a meal:
Meanwhile, fan accounts think the woman in question is a former NFL cheerleader named Emma, at least based on Jessi's husband Jordan commenting "soft launch?" and Emma responding "who is she!!"
Then there's the fact that she posted this TikTok with Dakota:
Dakota also hopped into the comments of another TikTok featuring Emma mouthing along to Tate McRae's song "Horseshoe" — specifically the lyrics "I know the house burned down, but I finally saw the moon / Oh, but I'm still fucked up by you, you, you / I miss you, you, you (I miss you, babe)."
His comment? "Pretending this is about me."
Reminder that Dakota's been slightly in his feelings since Taylor was announced as Bachelorette. His first reaction was to hop on Instagram Stories and muse, "Had so many curve balls today and everytime [sic] I am always reminded there is nothing more important than God and family. Life is to [sic] short."
And since then the vibe has been more...this:
