Taylor Frankie Paul went on a family vacation with her two older children after losing temporary custody of her and Dakota Mortensen’s son Ever, 2, following a domestic violence incident with her ex-husband.
The “Mormon Wives” star took to her Instagram Story on Friday to share a photo of herself cuddling up on the couch with her daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5, and ex-husband Tate Paul.
Other relatives, including Paul’s mother Leanne and sister Aspen, were also curled up on the sofa.
The group looked at the camera and smiled broadly.
A subsequent post showed a series of four-wheelers driving through the mountains, with the caption, “When the family gathers at @area.bfe,” referring to Utah’s off-road park.
Paul’s Easter weekend trip comes on the heels of Utah State Police investigating a third alleged domestic violence incident between her and Mortensen.
A spokesperson for the department told Page Six at the time: “The allegations were reported in late February 2026, and detectives reviewed the video, which appears to have been recorded in early to mid-2024.”
“Investigators are actively working to gather and verify information and are interviewing those involved. As the investigation is ongoing, no charges have been filed at this time.”
Mortensen’s friends told police that the social media star was the victim of domestic violence at the hands of his ex-girlfriend, whom he dated on and off from 2022 to 2024.
DadTok members also alleged to authorities that there were “two incidents of physical assault, including grabbing, scratching, shoving, and punching,” the report said.
Last month, Mortensen continued to file for a restraining order against Paul, accusing him of strangling her in front of her 2-year-old son. He was then granted temporary detention.
A court hearing in which Paul will be allowed to speak is scheduled for April 7, but until then, “parental time will not be granted,” the order said.
Filming on “Secrets of a Mormon Wife” has been halted following recent domestic violence allegations.
However, Paul and Mortensen have been involved in multiple domestic violence incidents over the years.
Earlier this month, a disturbing 2023 video surfaced online of Paul attacking Mortensen while Indy was in the room.
In the footage, the Utah native can be seen trying to kick her ex-boyfriend and throwing a metal bar stool at him.
After the altercation, the officer called Leanne and asked if she could make sure her granddaughter was unharmed.
In a phone call obtained by TMZ, a police officer explained, “There were some facts about this incident that were discovered after the fact. During the altercation, it appears that[Indy]was hit in the head with a metal chair.”
Officers indicated the young child may have suffered a concussion from the incident.
“I think she’s fine,” Leanne replied. “I saw her.”
After checking on Indy a second time, Paul’s mother assured the officer, “There’s nothing wrong with her. She’s not grumbling or anything.”
Meanwhile, ABC canceled Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette” after domestic violence footage surfaced.
A representative for the television personality said in a statement at the time that the video “conveniently omits context” and is Mortensen’s “endless, desperate, attention-seeking and destructive campaign to harm Taylor with no regard for the impact on the child.”
Meanwhile, Mortensen denied his ex-girlfriend’s claims, saying, “I’m focused on my son (Ever) and his safety, and I hope Taylor does the same.”
