Taylor Frankie Paul Reveals She's Moving After Dakota Mortensen Split

Taylor Frankie Paul’s “Bachelorette” season will begin in just a few months, but we already know who her final three men are, thanks to Reality Steve.


Taylor Frankie Paul’s Final Three

According to Reality Steve, the finale filmed in St. Lucia. As for the finalists, Reality Steve said, “Somebody contacted me and said, ‘clearly they’re down here’ and was able to see a picture of Doug Mason, so we know he’s one of the final two.”

Per Parade, Doug is 28 years old and from San Diego. His Instagram bio lists him as a model.

Reality Steve wasn’t entirely sure who the other finalist is, but he knows it’s one of two men: Shane Parton or Lew Evans. Shane, a 27-year-old from Atlanta, was a college football player, according to his Instagram bio. Although Parade lists Atlanta as his city, Reality Steve announced Shane’s hometown date filmed in Union Square in New York City.

Lew and Taylor already share a very important commonality, as the 32-year-old is from Salt Lake City, just like our “Bachelorette.” His LinkedIn says he currently works in marketing and used to be a college basketball player.

That all being said, Reality Steve has erred in the past. During Joey Graziadei’s season of “The Bachelor,” Reality Steve announced Daisy Kent as the winner. Although Daisy made the final two, Joey ultimately proposed to Kelsey Anderson. We won’t know if this season’s spoilers are completely correct until the season airs.

As for who Taylor ultimately chooses and whether or not she gets engaged, fans will have to tune in every Monday at 8 p.m. ET beginning on March 22, 2026.

According to Parade, Taylor and her potential love interests traveled to three significant locations while filming “The Bachelorette.” There were group dates in Colorado, Las Vegas, and Miami.

For the Las Vegas group date, Reality Steve announced seven men were likely chosen. Those men were Brad Ledford, Doug, Conrad Ukropina, Lew, Casey Hux, Brandon Perce, and Christopher Wood. “Taylor had a one-on-one date at the Cowboys-Raiders game,” Reality Steve said, “And that was with Shane Parton.”


Taylor Frankie Paul’s Reality TV History

Unlike most “Bachelor” Nation leads, Taylor didn’t get her reality TV star on the dating show, or any dating show for that matter. Instead, Taylor became famous for her TikTok videos and subsequent reality show, “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”

The Hulu original docuseries follows Taylor and her friends as they navigate their personal and professional lives as well as their faith. “The Bachelorette” marks Taylor’s first time on a competition-style or dating show. It will be interesting to see a newcomer as “The Bachelorette” lead, especially since contestants may have watched her previous reality show.
