Tate Paul is the ex-husband of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Taylor Frankie Paul and was part of the viral MomTok story that brought national attention to the Utah influencer community. While Taylor’s life has remained in the spotlight with SLOMW and “The Bachelorette,” Tate has largely stepped away from public attention since their divorce. Here’s what you need to know.
1. Tate Paul Married the Former ‘Bachelorette’ Before Her Reality TV Fame
Tate married Taylor in 2016, several years before her rise to fame on TikTok. During their early marriage, the couple documented their lives in Draper, Utah, while building a following through family-focused content.
The pair welcomed their first child, daughter Indy, less than a year after their wedding. They expanded their family again in 2020, when their son, Ocean, was born.
At the time, both Tate and Taylor frequently shared glimpses of their life as young parents online. Their content focused on family routines, parenting moments, and life within the Mormon influencer community that later became known as MomTok.
Their social media presence helped Taylor build the audience that later led to her starring role on “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
2. Taylor Frankie Paul’s Ex-Husband Became Part of the Viral MomTok “Soft-Swinging” Scandal
Taylor’s ex-husband became widely known in 2022 after the influencer discussed their marriage during a TikTok livestream.
In the video, Taylor explained that the couple had participated in what she described as “soft-swinging.” She defined the arrangement as an agreement that allowed them to pursue intimacy with other people while maintaining specific boundaries.
According to Taylor, the agreement eventually broke down.
She said during the livestream that the couple had agreed they would not “go all the way” with other partners but admitted that she “did step out of that agreement.”
Taylor later revealed she had developed feelings for someone involved in the situation, which contributed to the end of their marriage.
The livestream quickly went viral and sparked widespread discussion about the MomTok community.

Taylor provided an update on her ex-husband during a 2024 interview with Distractify.
“My ex is doing great as far as I know,” Taylor said. “I love him and his partner, [who is his] fiancée, I believe.”
Her comments suggested the former couple remained on good terms despite their highly public breakup.

His partner Bailey Paul, whose maiden name is Roberts, now uses his last name on social media. Bailey works as an esthetician specializing in lash lifts, brows, and waxing, according to her business page.
The couple has largely kept their relationship private but occasionally shares glimpses of their life together online.
Their posts often focus on family moments and day-to-day life rather than past controversies.
5. Tate Paul Welcomed a Third Child With His New Wife
Tate and Bailey welcomed a daughter together in 2023.

“Happy Mother’s Day to the love of my life!” Tate wrote on Instagram. “You are an incredible mother and partner. Thank you for everything you’ve done for Me, our baby, and my kids.”
