Taylor Frankie Paul for ABC's "The Bachelorette"

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul is currently filming the new season of The Bachelorette. Now one of Paul’s final four men has reportedly been leaked ahead of the show even airing.

Bachelorette Star Taylor Frankie Paul’s Finalist Revealed

Earlier this week, Cosmopolitan reported that the identity of one of Paul’s four finalists had been discovered. Apparently, Paul was recently spotted in New York City, on what appears to be a hometown date with contestant Shane Parton.

You might remember that last month, Paul was spotted getting cozy with a contestant at a Raiders game in Las Vegas. It turns out that contestant was Shane Parton. As of this writing, it’s not clear if Parton made it any further in the competition than the final four.

It was also recently reported that Paul was filming both the Fantasy Suites and the final rose ceremony for her season in her home state of Utah — which is a change from the tropical locations we’ve seen on the show in the past.

When Does the New Season Premiere?

Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette is expected to premiere on ABC on March 22, 2026. With so many spoilers about the season already leaking, will fans be able to avoid knowing who receives the final rose until the show airs? We’ll have to wait and see.

In case you don’t know, Paul is one of the stars of the Hulu reality show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. The 31-year-old divorced mother of three helped popularize the #MomTok trend on TikTok. Earlier this year, it was announced that she would be looking for love as the new star of The Bachelorette.

Two of Paul’s Mormon Wives co-stars, Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck, recently competed on another ABC show — Dancing with the Stars Season 34.
