Meet 'The Bachelorette' Taylor Frankie Paul's 3 Kids And Their Dads Amid Chair Throwing Controversy

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives alum Taylor Frankie Paul has grabbed the internet's attention after a recent alleged altercation between her and her ex-partner, Dakota Mortensen, brought back a heated moment from 2023. In the resurfaced video, the reality TV star is seen engaged in a physical fight with Mortensen, throwing a chair at him as a child cried in the background.

The moment has sparked widespread concern surrounding domestic violence and led to a major fallout, including the cancellation of her season of The Bachelorette, which was scheduled for a March 22, 2026 premiere. The MomTok star has had a turbulent past marked by a high-profile divorce, scandalous affairs, and an on-and-off romance with Dakota Mortensen that even landed her in legal trouble.

Amid the controversy, attention has now shifted to her personal life, particularly her three children, who were thrown into the chaos, and how Taylor is ensuring that they get to be with both their parents despite everything. Here's everything you need to know about Indy, Ocean, and Ever.

Meet Taylor Frankie Paul's eldest daughter, Indy May Paul

Taylor welcomed her first child, a daughter, on August 31, 2017, whom she named Indy May Paul. The SLOMW star shares her with her ex-husband, Tate Paul. Indy May was born just months after their parents' wedding and has since frequently appeared on their social media posts over the years.

The reality TV star describes her princess as "sassy and sometimes sweet," who is extremely smart and an amazing big sister to her siblings. While Taylor and Paul deliberately left Indy May out of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives for privacy reasons, fans love to see glimpses of the now-8-year-old on Instagram.

Taylor's only son, Ocean Paul

Taylor's second child, Ocean, is his only son, who was born on June 18, 2020, three years after Indy. When little Ocean was born, the parents were over the moon in joy, announcing his birth a few days after his birth, calling him a "sweet soul." However, just two years after this, Taylor and Paul Tate applied for a divorce. 

Despite their eventual split, the two have reportedly maintained a healthy co-parenting relationship. Now, Paul Tate has the primary custody of both Ocean and Indy May, with Taylor having visitation rights. The little one is now five years old.

Taylor Frankie Paul's youngest child, Ever True Mortensen

Taylor's youngest son, Ever True, is the only child she shares with her ex-partner, Dakota Mortensen. The little bundle of joy was born on March 19, 2024, marking a new chapter in the reality star's life following her divorce from Tate. In case you didn't know, Ever was born after Taylor went through an ectopic pregnancy in 2023, making his arrival a year later especially meaningful as her “rainbow baby.” 

Ever was born a month earlier than Taylor's due date, but he fortunately doesn't have any health complications. The little one, now two years old, has been her bundle of joy and a symbol of hope, for whom she and Dakota keep reuniting and keep their differences aside to co-parent him.

Who are Taylor Frankie Paul's baby daddies?

Taylor's ex-husband, Paul Tate, is the father of her two older children, Indy and Ocean. The two were married in 2016 and remained happily in love, but things gradually fell apart after the reality star was involved in a widely publicised "soft-swinging" scandal on TikTok, which has since become an infamous controversy added to her name. 

In May 2022, Taylor revealed that she and Tate had been involved in “soft swinging,” but acknowledged that boundaries were ultimately crossed, leading to infidelity on her part. Reports suggest she became more involved with another man without Tate’s knowledge. The couple officially divorced in 2022, but has since maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship. Paul has since moved on and married.

The father of Taylor's youngest son, Ever, is Taylor's ex-partner, Dakota Mortensen, a Utah-based businessman. Shortly after her split from Tate, she found solace in the arms of Dakota in 2022, and they have since had an on-again, off-again relationship. Their romance has frequently made headlines, especially following the 2023 incident, which led to her arrest and put her through ongoing legal tensions.

The couple's journey to parenthood was marked by significant personal and public turmoil, including cheating rumours. They tried to make their relationship work on SLOMW for their child, but things were far from mending. The former couple separated following allegations of Dakota's infidelity. Taylor has cited a total of four women with whom Dakota has had affairs throughout their three-year on-and-off relationship. 

Now, with the old video gaining traction again, Dakota himself addressed the situation, saying he was "used to these baseless claims about me and our relationship, which I categorically deny."  He added that his priority remains his son Ever’s safety and expressed hope that Taylor would focus on the same. 

While Taylor Frankie Paul continues to face intense scrutiny over her past actions, she has also consistently maintained that her children remain her top priority.
