Amid fan speculation that she didn’t get engaged at the end of The Bachelorette, Taylor Frankie Paul revealed they wrapped filming and she “never experienced anything like this,” as she “can’t wait to talk all about it.”
Last week, around the time she reportedly filmed the final rose ceremony, Taylor’s ex, Dakota Mortensen (the father of her youngest child), wrote in a comment that he hopes they can be friends. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star responded, saying that “friends” sounds like a “great fresh start.” Due to the cryptic comment, some fans have questioned if her season didn’t end in a commitment.
“And that’s a wrap 🎥,” wrote Taylor in a December 21 Instagram post. “Never experienced anything like this. Can’t wait to talk all about it, share it, show it.”
“Such a passion for what goes into something like this,” she went on. “Feeling so grateful to be part of the bachelor nation family and crew. I left the most ‘me’ picture for last. This will be worth the wait, stay tuned coming in March.”
In a carousel of photos, Taylor posed with the production and crew. In the last photo, she’s flipping off the camera with both hands.
Back in September, on Call Her Daddy, Taylor revealed she was asked to be the lead on The Bachelorette.
“It has not hit me,” she said at the time. “It’s not gonna [feel real] until I think at the limo’s pulling up, and I’ll be meeting the people… So, nervous. How did I get here? In my head, I’m like, ‘How is this happening?’”
“I don’t know, like, how that worked out in my favor, but … [fans] were like, ‘You should go on The Bachelorette. Obviously, my relationship [with Dakota] … didn’t work out, or it wasn’t working out, and people could see that,” she added. “They’re like, ‘You should just, you know, go on The Bachelorette.’ I used to see little side comments, so I made a funny [TikTok] video, and this was actually three years prior. I made the same video, but I was like, ‘Hey, I’m single. I think I’m looking for someone … I hope someone will take me, you know, I’m on probation,’ and all these things aligned.”
