Check out the clip ... the song is certainly catchy -- and really gives fans an inside look on what it's like for Hope to text her ex.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Kris relisted the iconic Hidden Hills, CA mansion Friday for $13 million, after months of debating whether to keep it in the family as a long-term asset.

As we first reported ... the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" home originally hit the market in February 2025 for $13.5 million and quickly drew multiple offers.

If Dakota Mortensen had any chance of returning to "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" with production looming on the horizon ... it was pretty much torpedoed after the recent court hearing with ex Taylor Frankie Paul.

A source with knowledge tells TMZ ... after yesterday's custody hearing -- where the judge extended the couple's restraining orders for three years -- it's highly unlikely Dakota will be appearing on future episodes of 'SLOMW.' We're told the door is open for TFP to come back ... but she's yet to commit.

It all makes sense ... Taylor is one of the stars of the popular Hulu series -- it's 'WIVES' after all -- so that makes Dakota her plus-one. For the moment, it's all moot because word is cameras are not even up yet after production was paused over the couple's drama.
