Get ready to take notes, gentlemen!

For 21 seasons, “The Bachelorette” has delivered whirlwind romances, shocking exits, and plenty of unforgettable drama. 

Now, the franchise is shaking things up with its boldest casting yet: Taylor Frankie Paul! The TikTok powerhouse and star of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” is officially stepping into the spotlight as our next leading lady.

And yes, she’s more than ready to hand out roses and finally find her happily ever after.

The big announcement dropped this week on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, where Taylor sat down with host Alex Cooper to spill what she’s really looking for in a partner.

Before diving into her checklist, Taylor addressed her headline-making breakup with Dakota Mortensen, clarifying that their relationship is “over and done for good.” She revealed she was the one who made the final call and that the experience gave her clarity on what she truly wants moving forward.

When it comes to age, Taylor is keeping her options open saying, “Preferably 30s and early 40s, and the youngest is the late 20’s like 27/28 at the lowest and 42/43 at the highest.”

As a mom of three, there’s one nonnegotiable for anyone hoping to snag her final rose: they’ll need to embrace life in Utah. 

“I’m sorry if that is make-or-break, but I am in Utah and I have two baby daddies so I am going nowhere. You will be moving to me in Utah, so if you like me enough you will be moving. Utah is pretty cool!” Taylor shared.

Career-wise, she’s open-minded, with just one major caveat. She said, “Career doesn’t matter to me. I want him to be hardworking and motivated, I don’t want someone that’s not. I have three kids and I don’t want to be mom and dad. That’s what I am now. Yes, they have their dads, but I’m talking about in my own home. I am doing a lot of things and aside from the support from my family, it’s just me and I have to wait until they go to bed to have a shower.”

She said she is comfortable remaining the breadwinner for her family and would rather not date a fellow influencer/content creator. 

So, what kind of date night makes Taylor’s heart skip a beat? She’s game for grand gestures or laid-back hangs. 

“My ideal date night changes, I do like if someone surprises me with a cute, fun date night out, that’s awesome. But to be honest, I also love a really chill date. If we were just to go grab fast food somewhere, put on our crocs and sweats, and just get to know each other talking for hours and hours, I’d love that,” she explained.

Although Taylor is Mormon, her future partner doesn’t need to be. In fact, she admitted she’d actually prefer someone outside her faith, though she’s open if the connection is right.

As for dealbreakers, limo arrivals beware there are two big ones. 

“Immediate no is a big ego, and you can tell that based on energy. I know they are trying to impress and there’s a difference between trying to impress and if they have an ego. If they have a really big ego, I think it’s unattractive,” Taylor shared. 

And don’t expect her to fall for the center-of-attention type, she explained, “I’ve learned that I can’t date the life of the party guy. I can’t do it. I can’t do the class clown. I am attracted to that, because they are a high-energy vibe and I’m that way sometimes… Someone that has personality and is fun, but does their thing. Someone that cannot be controlled actually makes me worse.”

Taylor’s journey to love officially kicks off with “The Bachelorette” Season 22, premiering in 2026. Until then, applications are open and hopefuls everywhere are already lining up to shoot their shot.
