Dakota Mortensen and Brooks Nader chat online
In a video taken by a TikTok user at the Season 3 launch of The Secret Life of a Mrs. Mormon in New York City, the model and DadToker are seen chatting at the event.
Mortensen dated Mormon Housewives star Taylor Frankie Paul before officially announcing their split in December 2024.
Dakota Mortensen and Brooks Nader are taking the internet by storm.
Videos shared by TikTok users showed Nader and Mortensen flirting at Hulu’s “The Secret of Mormon” release party on Tuesday, Nov. 12.
The event, held at New York City’s Plaza Hotel, was meant to celebrate the release of the third season of Hulu’s hit show. Mortensen appeared on the show because he was previously in a relationship with one of the show’s stars, Taylor Frankie Paul, with whom he shares a son, Ever True.
In one clip shared by TikToker Max Cohen, Nader, 28, and Mortensen, 32, can be seen talking and smiling at each other in a corner.
“Being an influencer is crazy because it’s a Tuesday night and I’m sitting in a private room at the Plaza Hotel watching Brooks Nader and Dakota Mortensen flirt,” Cohen wrote in text over the video.
In the caption, Cohen elaborated further on their affair, writing, “This went on for a while…”
While many users took to the comments, Mortensen and Nader also had something to say about their flirtatious encounter. Mortensen commented on Cohen’s video, writing, “I didn’t know there were other gonzo videos out there 😂 Good luck lol.”
Nader had a similar reaction to the video, writing in the comments: “Other gonzos are crazy 😭🤣🤣.”
What are the other POVs in question? Nader’s own sister, Grace Ann Nader, also shared a video of the flirting moment.

In the clip, the two appear to have a lot of physical contact, with Nader touching Mortensen’s breasts multiple times throughout the video and Mortensen playfully touching her hands and arms.
Mortensen and Paul’s relationship has been in the public eye on and off since 2022, and the two became parents to a son, Ever True, in March 2024.
The two began dating after Paul publicly exposed Momtok’s “soft swing scandal.” This was an arrangement between Paul and his then-husband Tate that allowed him to have limited romantic relationships with people outside of their marriage.
Paul previously denied that Mortensen was involved in the “soft swing scandal.” The two had an on-and-off relationship since the summer of 2022 until officially ending their relationship in December 2024.
On January 27, 2025, Paul posted on his Instagram Story, suggesting that his parents had a good relationship. “Happy birthday daddy,” she wrote, adding, “Wishing you all the best.
Nader has also been involved in several romantic relationships since splitting from his former partner on Dancing with the Stars, Gleb Savchenko.

Nader competed alongside Savchenko on season 33 of the popular reality dance competition, and their on-again, off-again relationship ended in April 2025.
Over the summer and during the US Open, the model was linked to two tennis stars: Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
