No, you’re not imagining things — TikTok’s Mormon mom influencer Taylor Frankie Paul is officially the next Bachelorette! The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star is crossing over into ABC’s reality dating world, and fans are already buzzing with excitement and curiosity about what’s in store for The Bachelorette Season 22.
Taylor confirmed the big news on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast in September, and ever since, Bachelor Nation has been filled with hilarious questions: Will contestants need to perform TikTok dances? Will the show feature all-Mormon bachelors? The answers remain a mystery — but here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming season.
Since Taylor Frankie Paul’s casting was announced right after Jenn Tran’s season wrapped up, ABC hasn’t released an official premiere date yet. However, looking at past seasons — with Jenn’s season airing in July 2024 — fans can expect Taylor’s journey to premiere sometime in summer 2026.
While it’s unclear if any of Taylor’s contestants share her Mormon background, the upcoming season’s cast list already has people talking — especially after reports that Lana Del Rey’s ex is among the suitors!
