Taylor Frankie Paul, best known for her role as the MomTok leader on “The Secret Life of Mormon Wives,” is about to begin her search for The One to star in Season 22 of “The Bachelorette.”
On Monday, ABC announced the 22 contestants for this season — no, Dakota Mortensen is not on the list — and the season will open on Sunday, March 22, 10 days after the Season 4 premiere of Mormon Wives.
After the Oscars ceremony on March 15, ABC will air a special kickoff special for “The Bachelorette,” featuring 18 former stars sitting down with the social media star to share advice before her journey begins.
This season’s men, seen in the gallery below, include several single fathers, one of whom is described in the description as “an ardent member of the Mormon Church.” Paul, 31, revealed he is looking for a partner to move to Provo, Utah, to live with his girlfriend and their three children.
