Layla Taylor’s “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” co-stars are showing their support after the 25-year-old came out as bisexual on Monday.

The reality star opened up about her sexuality on Jay Shettys “On Purpose” podcast — and confessed she hadn’t told her fellow cast members prior to filming the episode.

“They’re going to be finding out for themselves on this podcast,” she explained. “And I know that they’re going to be nothing but supportive.”

Taylor Frankie Paul, for her part, “liked” the social media upload.

Taylor explained during Monday’s chat that she “honestly didn’t really know how to formally address [her sexuality] for a long period of my life” — but was “very … proud to be out.”

While the Hulu personality didn’t feel “pressure to not” be bisexual, she clarified she “didn’t have people around [her] that modeled that.”

Taylor is now “talking to” a woman, whom she did not name during the episode.

However, she gushed, “She’s just been very understanding and letting me take this at my own pace because it is just still foreign to me and it is so new. [It’s the] level of understanding and just being there for me.”

Taylor split from her ex-husband, Clayton Wessell, in 2023 and went on to date Cameron Jolly and Mason, with the relationships documented on “SLOMW.”

Mason, also 25, “liked” his ex’s announcement on Monday.
