How Taylor Frankie Paul Navigated Two Serious Relationships
Taylor Frankie Paul's had plenty of ups and downs in her love life, which has seen her go from a marriage with her former husband, Tate Paul, to a long-term relationship with Dakota Mortensen.
And if the romances weren't compelling enough ... she welcomed kids with both of her former flames!
We're going to take a look at how her relationships with her past partners played out, before she committed herself to finding love on the small screen.
Taylor Was Married To Her Former Husband For Several Years
Taylor and Paul tied the knot in 2016, and she remained with him as she rose to fame through her "MomTok" videos.
The pair started a family with the birth of their daughter Indy in 2017, and they welcomed a son, Ocean, in 2020.
However, the social media figure filed for divorce in 2022 after she became embroiled in a scandal regarding her practice of "soft-swinging" -- meaning she, as well as her husband, got intimate with other people to varying degrees -- and her alleged affair with an acquaintance, after which the pair separated.
Taylor eventually moved on with another partner, and the pair eventually married and started a family. She remained on cordial terms with her former spouse after their split, and she told Today he would "always be an important figure" in her life.
She Welcomed A Third Child With Her Now Ex-Boyfriend
Taylor moved on from both the scandal and her former marriage when she started dating Mortensen, who made his first appearance on her TikTok account in September 2022.
The pair's relationship wasn't always the smoothest, and she entered a plea in abeyance to a count of aggravated assault in August 2023 after her now ex-boyfriend claimed she'd attacked him, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
Taylor and Mortensen reconciled following the incident, and she gave birth to their son Ever in March 2024.
The two remained together until December 2024, when they went their separate ways. She later told People both she and Mortensen had been "trying to heal" from the events of their relationship.
Taylor Didn't Tell Dakota About Her "Bachelorette" Casting
Taylor's love life is going to have some major updates in the near future, as she was announced as the next lead of "The Bachelorette" in September 2025.
The thing is, she didn't tell Mortensen about her casting, and she said letting her ex know she'd signed on to appear in the show wasn't on her "priority list" during a conversation with Us Weekly.
Taylor then expressed she felt as if the casting "wouldn’t be the best news" for the father of her third child.
She also claimed her parents were supportive of her split from Mortensen, which she described as the "smartest decision I’ve made."

How Alexander 'AE' Edwards Started Dating A Much-Older Woman
Cher's had plenty of partners over the years -- including two husbands -- and she added another to the list when she started dating Alexander "AE" Edwards a few years back.
The musician and the producer, who have a 40-year age gap between them, have gone through plenty of interesting times together, and they've even experienced a breakup -- but they've managed to hold things together and keep going strong.
Here's a look at the professional and personal background of the music industry executive.
Alexander Works In The Music Industry
Edwards has held several roles within the music industry, and he served as the Vice President of A&R at Def Jam Recordings.
He's also worked as an executive for Sony Music Publishing and Universal Music Group.
Edwards has collaborated closely with rapper Tyga on several occasions, and the two cofounded Last Kings Group, an umbrella company for the performer's various ventures.
In addition to his work in the corporate side of the music industry, he's worked as a producer, and he helped produce Cher's 2023 record "Christmas."
He Was Formerly In A Relationship With Amber Rose
Cher's not Edwards' first high-profile romance, as he was formerly in a relationship with Amber Rose, whom he started dating in 2018.
The music executive and the media personality started a family in 2019, when the latter gave birth to their son, Slash.
However, Edwards and Rose broke up in August 2021, and she shared a message on her Instagram Story to accuse her former partner of cheating on her with at least twelve individuals, according to People.
Rose's opinion of her former partner eventually softened, and she claimed his relationship with Cher created "stability" for their son on an episode of "The Jason Lee Podcast."
Cher And Edwards' Romance Started Over Text
Cher and Edwards' initial encounter took place at a Paris Fashion Week event in 2022, according to People. A mutual friend later gave the producer the singer's number.
The performer recalled being determined not to "fall in love on text," although she admitted to breaking her own rules for her partner "because he’s just so special."
Cher and Edwards eventually started dating, and although they separated in May 2023, they ended up reconciling just four months later.
The two fielded breakup rumors in April 2025, when the producer was pictured at Coachella without his partner -- although her rep spoke to us and insisted the two were still together.

And, it turned out the businesswoman had been married to entrepreneur Andrew Cabot, from whom she was estranged at the time of the show.

Andrew's A Member Of A Wealthy Family
Andrew's a member of the Cabot family, which has been based in the New England region for hundreds of years.
The family's considered part of the "Boston Brahmin," a group of wealthy families who make up much of Boston's high society.
Kristin had been associated with Andrew's family for several years, and they had shared an address since at least 2023, according to the New York Post.
Andrew had two children from a prior relationship, but didn't share any kids with Kristin.
He Works In The Spirits Business
Andrew formerly worked in the tech industry, although he changed paths in 2011, when he founded Privateer Rum, and he serves as that company's CEO and COO.
The company was inspired by his 18th-century ancestor and namesake, who worked as both a privateer and rum-maker, according to the Boston Globe.
Andrew told the Globe he took on the project in an effort to work with a product with "ties to my family history."
Kristin was also involved with the business, and she listed herself as one of Privateer's "advisory board members" on her LinkedIn account, according to the New York Post.
Andrew Was Separated From Kristin When She Was Caught At The Coldplay Concert
Kristin became an online sensation when she was caught with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron at the Coldplay show ... and the interoffice scandal forced both to leave the AI firm.
The businesswoman eventually decided to end her marriage with Andrew, and she filed for divorce in August 2025, according to NBC News.
The thing is, Kristin and Andrew had been separated for several weeks prior to the concert, and a spokesperson for the latter told People he and Kristin had split "amicably."
They went on to state the businessman hoped the news about the divorce filing would provide a "respectful closure to speculation" about his personal life.
