Relationship with Dakota Mortensen
Following her divorce, Taylor Frankie Paul began a relationship with Dakota Mortensen, a real estate agent and entrepreneur. Their relationship was marked by numerous ups and downs, including public breakups and reconciliations. In November 2022, Taylor announced she was pregnant with Dakota’s child, but unfortunately, she suffered an ectopic pregnancy.
In February 2023, Taylor was arrested after a domestic incident involving Dakota, leading to her pleading guilty to aggravated assault. Despite this, the couple reconciled and welcomed their son, Ever True, in March 2024.
However, their relationship faced further challenges. In late 2024, Taylor discovered Dakota had been dishonest about his interactions with other women, leading to their final breakup in December 2024. Despite the separation, they continue to co-parent their son amicably.
