Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleLayla Taylor is an American reality television star, model, and social media influencer best known for her role in the hit Hulu series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. She is a standout cast member of the show because she is the youngest and the only person of color. Besides Layla's on-screen persona, her personal life is also a constant topic of online chatter. In 2026, there has been one twist after another in her love life, with the latest being her PDA with her mystery girlfriend.
Layla Taylor has a new girlfriend and she isn't hiding her anymore. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives fame soft-launched her new lover on July 6, 2026, sharing an Instagram video where only the woman's tattooed hand was visible as he held her girlfriend close. In the video, Layla mentioned people asking her why she was glowing, and her answer was, "I'm dating a woman now." Layla even captioned the post with a sweet message, stating:
"Chivalry isn't dead it's w the lesbians."
A week after the new romance teaser, we finally got a glimpse of Layla Taylor's girlfriend. TMZ spotted the girlfriends out on a date with her kids. The paparazzi photos show the reality TV star holding hands with the mystery girl. The couple walked with Kayla's two young sons, occasionally embracing. They were also seen wrapping their arms around each other during the joyous family time at an amusement park. Layla's girlfriend's identity has not been formally confirmed, though social media users have begun speculating about it.
Layla Taylor launched her girlfriend just weeks after she publicly came out as bisexual. On the June 29, 2026 episode of the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, she stated, "I'm gay and I'm bi and date women and men." The 25-year-old revealed that she has known about her attraction to women since childhood but didn't take it seriously until recently. She also shared the reason she didn't come out sooner. Layla didn't know if her inclination towards females was "just a phase" or if it was her true identity.
Additionally, growing up Mormon in Utah made it difficult for Layla to understand or address her sexuality earlier. Shortly after coming out, she confirmed she is dating a woman. Notably, it was her first time openly dating a person of the same sex. Before that, all her publicly known relationships had been with men. Regarding her public admission of bisexuality, Layla Taylor said:
"It's just something that I honestly didn't really know how to formally address for a long period of my life," she admitted on the podcast. "We're only on this earth for however long we are here and I'll be damned if I'm not able to be fully who I am."
Taylor's last relationship with a man (Mason McWhorter) ended in February 2026. She called the breakup a "blessing in disguise" as it gave her time and space to focus on herself. At that time, she realized that she no longer wanted to prioritize others over herself and do what was right for her. She understood her sexuality better and was more confident than ever. She then mustered up courage and came out publicly during her interview with Jay Shetty. She stayed:
"I went through a breakup at the beginning of this year and I feel like for just a long period of my life, was constantly living my life for other people. I think honestly that breakup was like a blessing in disguise because I feel like now I've been fully able to just focus on Layla."
