TAYLOR Frankie Paul has admitted to going under the knife and receiving other cosmetic procedures ahead of her The Bachelorette debut.
During a Season 4 episode of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which dropped on Hulu last week, Taylor, 31, opened up about her body transformation after plastic surgery.
“I’m having a breast augmentation done again. I had it a few years back,” Taylor, who is the leading lady on Season 22 of The Bachelorette, premiering on Sunday, revealed on camera.
“But I will say just having a baby, some things I was like, unsure of, really, up here. So, I’m like, ‘Let’s just go get a little, let’s say, touch-up, if you will.’”
Taylor is a mom to three children: Indy, 8, and Ocean, 5, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Tate Paul, and her almost 2-year-old son, Ever, with her ex, Dakota Mortensen, whom she allegedly got into a physical altercation with last month, sparking an investigation from law enforcement, per The U.S. Sun’s exclusive reveal.
The MomTok star admitted she wanted the procedure partly to feel more confident in her formalwear on The Bachelorette, after being cast for the role in December 2024.
“I’m doing it one, to feel good about myself, but two, for The Bachelorette,” she explained.
“I think I’m about to be in a lot of dresses, which normally — if you know me, I’m not in dresses, so I just kind of want to feel good in them.”
The episode additionally showed footage from her boob job, including the surgeons placing bandages over her chest, and the emotional moment when she reunited with her mother, Liann, post-surgery.
“Oh, my gosh, are you OK?” Liann asked her daughter, who broke down in tears.
“Yeah, I’m just, like, sad,” Taylor said, before a nurse explained that the anesthesia medication could be making her emotional.
“No, this is just my freaking life,” Taylor cried.
“My life, just, situation, it freaking sucks. With family, you know. …I think I ignore it a lot,” she said, referencing her tumultuous on-off relationship with Dakota, 33.
Taylor is also rumored to have gotten veneers and previously said she’s considering a nose job, though she’s leery about changing her face.
“I want to eventually get a nose job,” the TV star told PopSugar in September before expressing her hesitancy.
“It’s just a time thing. I also get fearful, to be honest, of changing my face. It can be scary.”
Perhaps she’ll stay this course after her co-star Jessi Draper sobbed about going “too far” with her multiple facial surgeries earlier this month.
Filming for Mormon Wives Season 5 was abruptly halted the past couple of weeks following Taylor and Dakota’s alleged “domestic violence” incident, where both accused the other of physical harm.
Sources exclusively told The U.S. Sun that while production pushed to continue filming, Taylor’s co-stars refused to go on before the situation was properly addressed.
Fans have also wondered whether Taylor’s alleged dispute with Dakota meant she ended up back with him rather than with a new love interest from The Bachelorette.
Photos exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun showed Taylor and her rumored finalist reuniting in Los Angeles over the weekend.
Still, many fans have vowed to boycott the show due to the recent assault allegations against Taylor.
