A fan caught a glimpse of Taylor, 31, and her new lover getting cozy by a fire pit in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Tuesday, and the photo quickly circulated on social media.
It showed Taylor bundled in pants, a white coat, and a matching winter hat and boots, while her date rocked a jacket and slacks.
They looked to be enjoying each other’s company on the patio surrounded by colorful Christmas lights, as one cameraman captured the moment.
Based on the fans’ close-up snapshot, the man appeared to be 32-year-old Lew Evans, who’s also from Salt Lake City and was revealed in October to be one of the men hoping to win over Taylor on the show.
Taylor also posted a video on her Instagram Stories of her jumping into the arms of a man with a gorgeous mountain view in the background, although the man’s identity is unclear.
Regardless, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star seems to be closing in on her perfect match, as she gushed in another Story posted on Thursday about her date with one man.
“Teaser: last night was one of the BEST nights of my life can’t wait to talk about in like 6 months LMAFO,” the mom of three wrote over a selfie of her flashing a peace sign at the camera.
Days before Taylor’s date with Lew, another fan spotted the MomTok star filming a day out with a different love interest.
Photos captured by the onlooker showed Taylor shopping for flowers on a rainy day in New York City with, who appeared to be, contestant Shane Parton.
Fans suspected the pair could’ve been filming their hometown date, since 28-year-old Shane currently lives in NYC, though he’s originally from Atlanta, Georgia.
He’s also the same man that Taylor was caught kissing on the Jumbotron at the Las Vegas Raiders game in November.
Taylor has also been seen filming in Los Angeles and Las Vegas since October, and she’s posted behind-the-scenes moments from the show on her platforms.
Season 22 of The Bachelorette premieres on ABC in March, marking the first time in the franchise’s history that someone outside the show was cast in the leading role.
Fans have been rooting for Taylor since her public split from ex-husband Dakota Mortensen during Season 2 of Mormon Wives.
The exes are parents to a son, Ever, born in March 2024.
Taylor is also a mom to a daughter, Indy, whom she welcomed in 2017, and a son, Ocean, born in 2020, with her first ex-husband, Tate Paul.
