Taylor Frankie Paul embarked on a family vacation with her two older kids — after losing temporary custody of her and Dakota Mortensen’s son, Ever, 2, following a domestic violence incident with her ex.
The “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star shared an Instagram Story on Friday of herself cuddled up on the couch with her daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5, whom she shares with ex-husband Tate Paul.
Other relatives were also curled up on the sofa, including Paul’s mom, Liann, and sister Aspen.
The group flashed wide smiles as they looked into the camera.
A follow-up post showed a series of four wheelers in the mountains, with the caption: “When the family meets in @area.bfe,” referencing an off-roading park in Utah.
Paul’s Easter weekend getaway comes on the heels of Utah police investigating allegations of a third domestic violence incident between her and Mortensen.
A spokesperson for the department told Page Six at the time, “The allegations were reported at the end of February 2026, and detectives have reviewed video believed to have been recorded in early to mid-2024.”
“Investigators are actively working to gather and verify information and are in the process of interviewing those involved. At this time, no charges have been filed, as the investigation remains ongoing.”
Mortensen’s friend reported to police that the social media star was the victim of a domestic violence assault by his ex-girlfriend, whom he dated on and off from 2022 to 2024.
The DadTok member also alleged to authorities that there were “two incidents of physical assault involving grabbing, scratching, shoving, and striking,” the report states.
Mortensen went on to file for a restraining order against Paul, alleging that she choked him last month in the presence of their two-year-old son. He has since been granted temporary custody.
A court hearing, where Paul will be allowed to speak, has been scheduled for April 7. However, “no parent time is allowed” until then, according to the order.
The most recent domestic violence claims have since halted filming of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
However, Paul and Mortensen have been involved in multiple domestic violence incidents over the years.
Earlier this month, a disturbing video from 2023 of Paul attacking Mortensen — while Indy was in the room — was released online.
In the footage, the Utah native tried to kick her now-ex and threw metal barstools at him.
Following the altercation, a police officer called Liann to ask if she could check and make sure her granddaughter did not have any injuries.
In a phone call obtained by TMZ, the cop explained: “There were some other facts about this case that have kind of come out after the fact. It looks like during the altercation, [Indy] got hit in the head with a metal chair.”
The officer pointed out that the young child might have suffered a concussion from the incident.
“I think she looks fine,” Liann responded. “I saw her.”
After checking on Indy for a second time, Paul’s mom assured the officer, “There’s nothing on her. No bumps or anything.”
Meanwhile, after the domestic violence clip surfaced, ABC canceled Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette.”
The television personality’s rep said in a statement at the time that the video “conveniently omits context” and Mortensen’s “never-ending, desperate, attention-seeking, destructive campaign to harm Taylor without any regard for the consequences for their child.”
Mortensen, meanwhile, denied his ex’s allegations, stating, “I am focusing on our son [Ever] and his safety, and hope that Taylor will do the same.”
