Just one week after the fourth season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives premiered, heaps of drama have occurred off-screen. Taylor Frankie Paul was set to be the next Bachelorette, but days before it was set to air, ABC decided to pull the premiere of its 22nd season.
Taylor has been embroiled in controversy for the past few days after allegations of domestic abuse were levied against her by her ex Dakota Mortensen.
"In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family," a statement from a Disney Entertainment Television rep to Best Quality Designer Handbag reads.
In the wake of the allegations, the upcoming season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives also paused production.
So, while the future of The Bachelorette and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives are up in the air, let's dive into the partners of the cast. Here is everything we know about the partners and ex-partners of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' stars.
