Taylor Frankie Paul Rejects Exes' Child Custody Proposals
Reality TV star Taylor Frankie Paul has rejected custody proposals from her former partners, according to insiders. She received two separate agreements from the fathers of her children — Dakota Mortensen and Tate Paul — which would give them 60% custody and her only 40%. Taylor quickly turned down both options, stating she would act in the best interests of her kids.
Taylor was married to Tate Paul from 2016 to 2022, and they share an 8-year-old daughter, Indy, and a 6-year-old son, Ocean. She dated Dakota Mortensen from 2022 to 2026, and they have a 2-year-old son, Ever. The star is now a mother of three from two different fathers, complicating the custody arrangement.
Sources say Taylor is preparing for a long court battle, suspecting her exes have teamed up to gain an advantage. An insider notes she is confident of victory and "can't wait to see them lose" in court. This adds tension to already strained relationships between the former partners.
The conflict escalated in March when Dakota Mortensen won temporary custody of Ever and obtained a protective order after several physical altercations with Taylor, who also received a protective order. In June, Tate Paul filed for a temporary restraining order against Taylor and petitioned for sole custody of their children.
The situation surrounding child custody for Taylor Frankie Paul continues to evolve, with each side determined to fight for their interests. Fans are watching closely, as the star of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" often finds herself at the center of scandals. It remains unclear when the next court hearing will take place, but experts expect the process to drag on for months.
Taylor's story highlights how difficult it is for celebrities to balance personal life and public image. Every legal move can become public knowledge, adding pressure. However, Taylor appears determined to fight for as much time with her children as possible.
