In February 2026, an altercation involving Dakota Mortensen and Taylor Frankie Paul, stars of the reality series “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” led to a pause in the show’s production. Recently obtained body cam footage from the Draper Police Department captures Mortensen’s interaction with police officers while they inspect his damaged truck.
The video shows Mortensen appearing calm but visibly shaken as he guides the officers through the visible damage, including dents and scratches along the driver’s door. Throughout the footage, Mortensen is seen holding their young son, Ever, as he describes the events tied to the dispute. The incident reportedly involved multiple confrontations between the couple in February.
Mortensen has alleged that Taylor Frankie Paul assaulted him by choking him inside her home and attacking him inside his truck. Despite these claims, the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s office has announced it will not file criminal charges against Frankie Paul in connection with the incidents.
The development leaves the future of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” uncertain, as the legal and personal conflicts between Mortensen and Frankie Paul continue. The couple remains involved in ongoing legal battles, including disputes over restraining orders and custody arrangements concerning their son.
This situation has not only drawn attention to the personal lives of the reality TV stars but has also impacted the production schedule of the show. At present, there is no official announcement regarding when filming might resume.
Law enforcement officials and relevant parties have declined additional comment pending the resolution of the legal issues surrounding the case.
