Taylor Frankie Paul will be returning to film “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” Season 5 — but only the opening credits.
TMZ was first to report the news.
While she’s won’t be filming with the rest of the cast, it was reported in April that Paul would likely get in front of the cameras “at some point,” according to a source.
The reality star is expected to spend her time away focusing on her family, but the “entire cast and production crews are supportive” of her eventual return, the insider told TMZ at the time.
Paul’s participation in the upcoming season was up in the air as she checked herself into a rehab facility earlier this month amid her ongoing custody battles with her ex Dakota Mortensen and her former husband Tate Paul.
Taylor shares two children — daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 6, with Tate. She later welcomed another son, Ever, 2, with Mortensen.
Tate filed documents seeking a temporary restraining order against Taylor and sole custody of their two kids last month.
At the time, a source close to the “Bachelorette” star called the restraining order filing “a direct result” of Mortensen “telling Tate lies about her.”
“She feels Dakota will do anything to hurt her … including using the children, but she is a survivor,” per the outlet.
Shortly after the filing, it was reported that Tate’s request was denied.
Taylor has been embroiled in a tense custody battle with Mortensen for several months after video leaked of a 2023 domestic dispute taking place between the estranged pair, who began their on-again, off-again relationship in 2022.
In March, Mortensen was given temporary sole custody of Ever, with Taylor getting “supervised” visitation with the toddler due to concerns regarding her “volatile” behavior.
At the time, Taylor was the focus of three separate domestic violence investigations — all of which, resulted in prosecutors declining to press charges.
The reality stars both filed for protective orders against each other, which were mutually granted in April.
In their most recent custody hearing, Mortensen received a serious scolding from a judge after he was seen riding with his 2-year-old on his motorcycle.
“We’re not gonna do motorcycles anymore,” Commissioner Russell Minas told Mortensen, advising the toddler to ride on “nothing with anything less than four wheels.”
Mortensen’s legal team confirmed the reality star would “do that moving forward.”
Taylor also had her visitation privileges expanded during the hearing.
