The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Dakota Mortensen has more to say about his ex-girlfriend Taylor Frankie Paul taking on a new role as the next Bachelorette. "I am happy for Tay, and I hope she finds happiness," Dakota, 32, captioned a Friday, September 12, TikTok video, parodying Taylor's previous upload wishing to be the next Bachelor Nation lead. ABC announced earlier this week that Taylor, 31, will now carry the Bachelorette mantle and hand out roses next season.
