'SLOMW', Taylor Frankie Paul Teases A Mystery Man Amid Domestic Assault Row With Dakota Mortensen

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, Taylor Frankie Paul is currently at the centre of a major controversy involving a domestic violence investigation as of March 17, 2026. The Draper City Police Department in Utah has confirmed an active domestic assault investigation involving Taylor and her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. Reports suggest that the altercation occurred at his home during a dispute over his ex-girlfriend. Both of them have been ordered by the Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) to undergo psychological evaluations.

Taylor's assault row has significantly impacted her personal and professional life. Filming for Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has been temporarily paused due to the ongoing investigation and the tense situation between the stars. Sources report that other cast members are distancing themselves from Taylor, with many reportedly refusing to work with her following the new allegations. Amid that, she might be growing close to a new individual. Recently, the reality TV star teased a mystery man, sparking dating rumours.

Who is the mystery man seen in Taylor Frankie Paul's latest video?

In a TikTok video posted on March 15, 2026, Taylor Frankie Paul appeared alongside a mystery man. His face was kept out of the frame, and just a part of his body could be seen. The individual donned a blue shirt and white trousers and seemed to have a decent build. The video shared by Taylor, was captioned as, "I can't hear you, I'm kinda busy," and featured the 31-year-old dancing to Lady Gaga's Telephone. As the video gained traction, an interest was sparked regarding the identity of the man and his relationship with Taylor Frankie Paul. Some fans speculated that the mystery man was songwriter, Ben Lambert.

The reason for the same is that Taylor previously shared a photo with him in late 2025, which was considered a soft launch of her new lover following her breakup with Dakota Mortensen. At that time, she shut down the speculations due to her September 2025 appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast. She clarified that "It wasn't a soft-launch" and she wasn't even that close to him. As per her, they had only met a few times and thus, the link-up was "funny" to her. Now, the chatter around Ben Lambert is back following Taylor's new TikTok upload featuring a mystery man. However, despite speculation, she has not yet revealed the individual's identity.
