Taylor Frankie Paul is causing more controversy by revealing the ending of her canceled Bachelorette season. The reality star confirmed that she accepted a marriage proposal while filming the unaired Season 22. Fans get a rare look at what happened before ABC pulled the show through her revelation.
The 32-year-old star revealed the spoiler in a preview from Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. The clip was discussed during Amanda Hirsch’s Get Real podcast on September 3. Paul confirmed that she accepted a proposal from one of the men during her Bachelorette journey.
She did not name the man who proposed during the conversation, but her castmates discussed details that seem to point toward contestant Doug Mason. Paul then described what happened after she returned home from filming. She said she and her ex Dakota Mortensen were texting before he eventually came over.
The Bachelorette Season 22 was already in limbo — now its ending might be public anyway
ABC canceled The Bachelorette Season 22 on March 19, 2026. The decision came only three days before the season was scheduled to premiere. It followed the release of a 2023 video showing Paul involved in a physical altercation with Mortensen.
Disney Entertainment Television confirmed the decision in a statement. The company said it would not move forward with the season and would focus on supporting the family. The completed season has not been released since the cancellation.
Paul’s latest comments now reveal one of the season’s biggest developments. They also make the unaired finale less of a mystery for fans. ABC has not announced plans to release the footage. Therefore, what Paul revealed is the clearest public detail about the ending so far.
Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives premieres September 10 on Hulu. The new episodes could provide more context about what happened after Paul’s Bachelorette engagement.
