Finally… Taylor Frankie Paul has confirmed what we’ve long suspected

Jesse Palmer revealed Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette is going to be epic — and unforgettable.

“This is going to be a season unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. I’ve been hosting for five years now, and I’ve never seen anything like this. Taylor is fantastic. I’m really excited for people to see a totally different side to her than the one we’re used to seeing on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Taylor has a really big heart, she’s really intentional, she’s very thoughtful, and she has a lot of her plate as the Bachelorette because she’s stepping into this world fresh,” the athlete, 47, who stars in Great Clips’ national marketing campaign for the College Football Playoff (this time alongside Falcons QB Kirk Cousins), exclusively tells OK!.

“She was never on a previous season. I don’t know how many previous seasons she’s actually ever watched. I don’t know how much Taylor knew about the framework or structure of what she’s doing, but she had great intentions, and she showed up wanting to fall in love and wanting to find her person,” Palmer continues of the reality starlet, who got famous after appearing in the Hulu show, which focuses on a group of Mormon mom influencers get caught in the midst of a swinging scandal that makes headlines. “She’s had a lot of heavy decisions to make because she’s not just doing what’s in her own best interest — she’s got three children, so she had a lot to think about.”

Paul, who shares daughter Indy (born 2017) and son Ocean (born 2020) with ex-husband Tate Paul, and son Ever (born 2024) with ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, was known for doing things “her own way,” Palmer reveals.

“She kept us on our toes! We were breaking format so many different times throughout the course of the show. I would show up to work every single day not knowing what she was going to do, what she was going to say, where she was going to go. I can promise this is going to be one wild ride, and it will be unlike anything anybody’s ever seen before,” he shares.
