Taylor Frankie Paul is 'seeing' rumored Bachelorette winner Doug Mason amid her domestic violence controversies

Secret Live Of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul has not given up on love amid her domestic violence controversies.

The 31-year-old is reportedly 'seeing' Doug Mason, who is the rumored winner of her now-canceled season of ABC's The Bachelorette.

The Colorado-born reality star and Mason, 28, are 'trying to make it work' amid what has been a troubled time for Paul, a source claimed to Us Weekly on Tuesday.

'They were hanging out recently,' the source alleged, 'and want to see if they can get back together and be a couple.'

The Daily Mail has reached out to a representative for Paul for comment but has yet to hear back.

Paul's Bachelorette season was scrapped in mid-March when a 2023 clip of her attacking her ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, 33, with her minor daughter present was posted by TMZ.

The disturbing video led ABC to abruptly cancel Paul's season just days before it was scheduled to premiere. 

Disney Entertainment Television said at the time, '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.' 

After the announcement, Mason posted a clip to his Instagram Story where he said he was 'sending prayers to Taylor because that was her moment and her moment was blocked.

'All we can do right now is just be hopeful, and I am headed off to run to watch the sunrise.' 

Paul seemingly appreciated Mason's compassion amid the intense backlash she was receiving.

'Aw my heart goes out to him. So sweet,' she replied on a repost of Mason's clip.

An ABC bio of Mason indicated that he's a San Diego, California native with a background in surfing and working as a lifeguard.

'Doug knows how to ride the waves of life, literally,' the bio read, indicating 'he’s ready to dive headfirst into this journey with Taylor.'

The bio continued, 'When he’s not at the beach, Doug enjoys watching Friends, cheering on the Lakers, and spending quality time with his sister. He’s incredibly close with his family and hopes to have a big family of his own someday.

'At his core, Doug is passionate about helping others and has dedicated his life to keeping people safe.'

A post from pop culture blogger Reality Steve late last year indicated that Mason was one of the final bachelors in the running as cameras rolled on the ABC series. 

Paul is mother to three children: daughter Indy, eight, and son Ocean, five, with ex-husband Tate Paul; and son Ever, two, with ex-boyfriend Mortensen.     

Body camera footage pulled from Paul's 2023 arrest showed  Mortensen trying to persuade police to take him to jail instead of her. 

In the clip, which was published March 23 by TMZ, Paul and Mortensen were bickering as police knocked on the front door.

Police separated the two as an aggressive Paul tried to pour herself a water and began crying. Mortensen told responding officers that Paul was 'not doing OK' while giving them a glimpse into the violence he alleged he suffered at her hands. 

'I can't even tell you the stuff that's happened to me,' Mortensen said, showing off injuries he claimed came from Paul.

At that point, Paul re-emerged, and told Mortensen to leave immediately. After Paul was arrested, Mortensen asked police officers if he could go to jail instead of her, saying that he just wanted her 'to get help.'

Paul in August of 2023 entered a plea of guilty to aggravated assault in connection with the February 2023 incident. Four other charges were dropped as part of the deal, and probation she's been on since then is slated to conclude in August of 2026.
