Dakota Mortensen is breaking his silence after an alleged altercation with Taylor Frankie Paul led to a Secret Lives of Mormon Wives production shutdown. "His number one priority here is protecting [their son], Ever," a rep for Dakota, 33, told Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday, March 18. "He knew there was a possibility it could come out, but he was not going to be the one to proactively do that because he has always wanted a decent relationship with Taylor. It's been really hard to achieve that, but he wants to coparent well.
