Is Taylor Frankie Paul Back on 'Mormon Wives'? The Limited Return, Explained

Is Taylor Frankie Paul making a full-time comeback to Secret Lives of Mormon Wives? Not exactly. E! News has confirmed the 32-year-old reality star is returning for season five, but only in a limited capacity.

She will be filming intros and participating in pick-up shots for the Hulu series' opening title sequence over the next few days. This news follows months of speculation about her absence after production was put on hold in mid-March following allegations of a domestic violence incident between Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen.

Paul previously addressed rumors of her departure with a cryptic Instagram comment in April. Replying to a post about her absence, she wrote, "Interesting, that's not the call I got." Still, a source told E! News that her focus has been elsewhere: "Taylor’s priority is her mental health and her family right now."

The insider added, "She wants to come back to the show in the future, but right now the focus is her family life and her wellbeing.

Paul has also been candid about her recent stay in rehab, explaining that she wanted to be an open book about her mental health. In a series of videos posted to her Instagram Stories July 6, she said, "I knew that I was in a spot to take a step back and be like, ‘OK, we need a reset,'" adding that her "number one priority was just a reset for my mental health."

Her return to filming, even in a reduced role, suggests a tentative step back into the public eye. Paul shares a daughter, 8, and a son, 6, with ex Tate Paul, and a son, 2, with Mortensen.
