The Bachelorette season 22 spoilers have been revealed.
Amid a slew of rumors regarding Taylor Frankie Paul, 31, and her toxic on-again, off-again romance with Dakota Mortenson, 33, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star’s winner has been revealed, as has additional information regarding whether they got engaged, and whether they are still together.
According to a March 17 report from Reality Steve, the final four men included Doug Mason, 28, Lew Evans, 32, Shane Parton, 28, and Casey Hux, 30, but it was Doug who Taylor chose during the final rose ceremony in St. Lucia.
“She gets engaged to Doug,” Steve shared. “The final Rose ceremony date was around December 19 or December 20 … right before Christmas.”
He then revealed that just one month later, “it all ended between [Taylor] and Doug.”
As Steve explained, Doug flew to Salt Lake City to see Taylor and filmed their breakup for the cameras.
“We will be seeing that … after the final rose,” he confirmed, adding that Dakota was somehow involved.
Because Taylor “slept with Dakota the night before” filming began on The Bachelorette, and has reportedly been back and forth with him in the months since, Steve felt that Taylor didn’t take the show seriously. That said, it wasn’t clear what exactly caused Taylor and Doug to end their relationship.
Steve went on to suggest that more would be revealed once SLOMW season five, which is currently on pause, starts airing. However, he suspected Taylor “broke up with Doug because she wasn’t over Dakota,” noting that, within days, “it was back to the same old mess with Dakota.”
“It’s only gonna get worse from here … more stuff is gonna start coming out about this DV charge,” Steve added.
Meanwhile, on Taylor’s TikTok account, via Real Moms of Bravo on Instagram, she seemed to confirm that she and Doug were still together by sharing a video of a man in a blue shirt.
In a video captured by another fan page, Doug was seen in a very similar blue shirt around the same time.
