Taylor Frankie Paul’s custody setback coincides with Bachelorette cancellation

Taylor Frankie Paul was photographed looking downcast in Draper, Utah after a court granted temporary custody of her 2-year-old son Ever to ex Dakota Mortensen amid a domestic violence investigation; Paul won’t be able to see Ever until a court hearing on April 7. Separately, ABC canceled Season 22 of The Bachelorette after leaked footage of a 2023 domestic incident involving Paul and Mortensen. Paul’s reps describe the footage as selectively edited, while Mortensen has pushed back on the claims. Paul also shares daughter Indy and son Ocean with ex-husband Tate Paul.
