Reality Star Taylor Frankie Paul to Lead "The Bachelorette" in 2026

According to the article, Taylor Frankie Paul, the star of the reality show "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," has been confirmed as the lead for the 22nd season of "The Bachelorette." The new season is set to premiere on March 22, 2026, over a year from the current date of October 29, 2025.

In a promotional video released earlier this week, Paul addressed several burning questions from fans, including whether the upcoming season will only feature Mormon contestants. Paul quickly dispelled this rumor, responding with a "No lol" and a cry-laughing emoji.

Paul's casting as the next Bachelorette was announced over a month ago on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast. Initially, the reality star had joked about wanting the role, but she didn't believe it was an "attainable" dream. However, after some discussions and an official invitation, Paul ultimately decided to accept the position.

While fans will have to wait until March 2026 to see Paul hand out roses on "The Bachelorette," they can catch her on the upcoming third season of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," which is set to premiere on Hulu on November 13, 2025.
