Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Layla Taylor Tearfully Confirms Breakup From Mason McWhorter
Taylor Frankie Paul is one step closer to handing out her roses.
Ahead of season 22 of The Bachelorette—premiering Mar. 22 on ABC—The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star’s dating prospects have been announced.
In a playful video shared by ABC Feb. 23, each of the men—ranging in age from 28 to 43—showed off their dance moves as they’re unveiled as the crew competing for the Salt Lake City native’s heart.
While Shane, 28, noted how he’s a "'take home to mom’ type,” Casey, 30, may have set himself back in the race towards love by admitting, “I have not seen the Mormon Wives show.”
The contestants are not only bringing their best dance moves to the table for the upcoming season, but also a plethora of occupations. After all, Brad, 29, is a proud cowboy while Rod, 35, is an “expert” chef.
And while all but one will come out victorious with Taylor by his side, they’re all hoping to come out on top.
“People say they want to grow old with somebody,” Clayton, 36, said, “I want to stay young with somebody.”
As they excitedly put it in unison, “Let the journey begin."
After Taylor, 31, was announced as The Bachelorette’s new leading lady—which surprised fans since previous seasons plucked its star from The Bachelor contestants—she emphasized how “surreal” the honor was.

“It has not hit me,” she told Alex Cooper during the Sept. 10 episode of Call Her Daddy. “It’s not real. It’s not gonna be until like, the limo is pulling up and I’m meeting the people.”
And while the reality TV star—mom to Indy, 8, and Ocean, 5, with ex Tate Paul and Ever, 23 months, with ex Dakota Mortensen—is jazzed to re-enter the dating pool in perhaps the most iconic way possible, she had a few reservations about tackling the role.
“I’m like, ‘is this possible for me to do as a single mom?’’” she explained. “‘Can I make it work realistically no matter how much I want this?’ And I was like, ‘I can.’ You can do anything you want.”
For a full rundown of the 22 men competing to be Taylor’s happily ever after, read on…
