Bachelorette Hopeful Met Taylor Frankie Paul

While filming 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,' Taylor Frankie Paul participated in a speed dating event to prepare for her role as the lead in season 22 of The Bachelorette. At this event, she met Bubba Page. Page later shared on Instagram that casting producers had contacted him about appearing on the show.

He claimed to have received a direct message from a casting producer at Wyldside Media, expressing interest in him as a contestant for The Bachelorette. However, Page stated he declined the opportunity for personal reasons, indicating that the show's values did not align with his faith and beliefs.

Page also reflected on his conversation with Paul during the speed dating event. He noted their discussion about her past experiences and her desire for relief from pain. He described her as kind and thoughtful, sensing a deep-seated hurt in her eyes.

This revelation comes as Taylor Frankie Paul is reportedly involved in a domestic assault investigation with her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. A spokesperson confirmed an ongoing investigation concerning the former couple, who share a young son. Paul has stated there is more context to the incident than publicly known.
