Taylor Frankie Paul And Dakota Mortensen Were In Couples Therapy
It's not been a secret that the couple is trying to make their relationship work. Anyone who's viewed the reality show and has been keeping up with Paul's social media posts knows the two are giving their relationship a real shot.
Shortly after the show dropped on Hulu, Paul told TODAY.com that "things have gotten a lot better."
"We’re obviously far from the end goal because we come in (to the relationship) with such baggage, and now we’re doing TV and a lot comes with that," she told TODAY.com. "We're in couples therapy and coaching, so they're kind of helping us to communicate and learn all these things while taking on the loud noise, which is really cool."
'The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives' On Hulu Is A Binge-Worthy Series!
The new show was released in early September and has certainly made waves in the reality TV and TikTok worlds.
The series follows the lives of a group of Mormon mom friends - Taylor Frankie Paul, Jennifer Affleck, Demi Engemann, Layla Taylor, Mayci Neeley, Whitney Leavitt, Jessi Ngatikaura, and Mikayla Mathews.
When Paul began #MomTok with her group of friends, they got tons of attention. But when Paul's viral 2022 "soft swinging" scandal surfaced, the group got even more attention.
And while the entire cast wasn't involved in the swinging scandal, it brought major attention their way, which fueled everyone's desire to learn more about what goes on behind closed doors with the Mormon moms. And then came the reality show.
"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" is currently streaming on Hulu. Season 1 has been a huge hit, but there hasn't been word about a second season just yet.
