Taylor Frankie Paul has not been booked for an appearance on Dancing With the Stars, sources clarified amid circulating reports. The confusion stems from a crossover date filmed for her shelved season of The Bachelorette. Meanwhile, production on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives resumes soon, with Paul expected to return.
Sources close to Dancing With the Stars told TMZ that Paul was involved with the show only through a single date on her Bachelorette season, which has not aired. That ballroom dancing segment has been misinterpreted as a full booking, they said, adding that such interest checks are routine for reality stars like Melissa Rycroft, Hannah Brown, and Kaitlyn Bristowe who later joined the competition series. Whether the crossover footage will ever air remains uncertain, especially as ABC potentially reevaluates the shelved Bachelorette project amid renewed activity on Paul's Hulu series, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Sources from SLOMW production emphasized that Paul's main focus is her children and family, though she plans to film when ready. Cameras are set to roll as early as next week, with the full cast and crew expressing support for her return to the popular show.
