Reality TV Romance Concludes With Surprising Twists
The dramatic third season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reached its conclusion on Disney Plus and Hulu, leaving viewers questioning the relationship status between stars Taylor Frankie Paul and Chase McWhorter. The season finale, which aired recently, featured the pair enjoying what appeared to be a romantic dinner date, sparking speculation about a potential rekindling of their complicated past.
A History of Complicated Relationships
The connection between Taylor and Chase traces back to the 2022 "soft swinging" controversy that rocked their social circle. This arrangement, which consensually involved Chase and Taylor's friend Miranda, took an unexpected turn when Chase confessed developing genuine romantic feelings for Taylor during the partner exchanges.
Further complicating matters, Chase briefly became involved with Layla Taylor following the swinging revelations. However, season three revealed Layla shifting her romantic attention to Mason, who happens to be Chase's younger brother.
Despite their seemingly romantic outing in episode 10, Taylor Frankie Paul and Chase McWhorter are not currently involved with each other. Chase has moved on to a new relationship with Kate Racker, a blogger and recruitment specialist who is friends with Layla Taylor.
New Beginnings for Both Stars
Meanwhile, Taylor has embarked on an exciting new chapter in her reality television career. She recently announced she's joined the cast of The Bachelorette's 22nd series, expressing both excitement and disbelief about the opportunity.
In comments reported by Cosmopolitan, Taylor shared her emotional reaction: "I can't even process what is going on. I am the Bachelorette, guys—that's wild!" She continued, "When they flew to town to ask me, my first thoughts were why me? It goes without saying that I come with a lot, and I was like, 'Who is going to want me?'"
Her co-star Jen Affleck believed she had 'manifested' Taylor's role in the dating series, telling Today.com: "I was like, 'If Taylor went on there, I think she would save the franchise, and that's exactly what happened. I think I manifested it for her."
Jessi Ngatikaura of the #MomTok team expressed excitement for Taylor's new venture, stating: "She's going to bring such a unique twist to the show. It's going to be like Taylor's version of 'The Bachelorette,' and we're so excited to watch her and cheer her on."
The complete third season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives remains available for streaming on both Disney Plus and Hulu for viewers wanting to catch up on all the dramatic developments.
