Taylor Frankie Paul is making a bold statement to her potential suitors on the upcoming season of The Bachelorette – she’s a proud single mother. In a recent Instagram post, the 31-year-old shared a video of herself dancing to Huda Mustafa’s viral Love Island USA monologue about parenthood, emphasizing her role as a mom.
The clip captures Taylor lip-syncing to the monologue, with the caption “A mom of what? BYE 🌹” showcasing her confidence and sense of humor. Taylor shares three children – daughter Indy, 7, and son Ocean, 4, with ex-husband Tate Paul, and son Ever, 17 months, with ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen.
After her split from Dakota earlier this year, ABC announced Taylor as the new Bachelorette, a decision that she describes as stepping out of her comfort zone. Despite the nerves and fears of hurting others’ feelings, Taylor is excited to meet new people and explore different perspectives.
While acknowledging the difficulty of sending contestants home, Taylor remains open to finding love and getting engaged on the show. She admits to being a “lover girl” who falls in love quickly, but sees this experience as an opportunity to take her time and truly get to know the contestants.
Joining Bachelor Nation as a single parent is not uncommon, with former leads like Jason Mesnick and Emily Maynard having kids from previous relationships. Taylor’s season of The Bachelorette is set to premiere in 2026, promising an exciting journey of self-discovery and potential romance.
With her vibrant personality and strong sense of self, Taylor Frankie Paul is sure to captivate audiences and contestants alike on her quest for love on The Bachelorette. Stay tuned for what promises to be a heartfelt and unforgettable season.
