Ex-Boyfriend Awarded Custody After Star's Show Canceled
21 Mar
Summary
- Ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen granted temporary custody of child.
- Custody decision follows domestic violence allegations and investigation.
- Reality TV star Taylor Frankie Paul's Bachelorette season was canceled.

Dakota Mortensen, the ex-boyfriend of reality TV personality Taylor Frankie Paul, was awarded temporary custody of their two-year-old son. This ruling came one day after Mortensen sought a protective order following a domestic violence incident investigation where allegations were made by both individuals.
The court order stipulates that no parent-child time is permitted until a hearing scheduled for April 7. On this date, Paul will have the opportunity to present her account of events. This development follows the unprecedented cancellation of "The Bachelorette" Season 22, which Paul was set to headline.
Production for Paul's other show, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," was also paused earlier this week after a new domestic violence investigation was initiated. A representative for Paul criticized the leak of a 2023 video, labeling it a manipulative tactic by Mortensen.
