Taylor Frankie Paul has been making waves in reality TV for some time now. Best known for her role on Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, she recently scored the lead spot in the upcoming season of The Bachelorette, set to premiere in 2026.
Fans are already speculating that she may be joining another reality TV competition, Dancing With the Stars (DWTS).
Is Bachelorette 2026’s Taylor Frankie Paul joining Dancing With the Stars?
There is no official word that Taylor Frankie Paul has been cast on DWTS. However, her recent appearance at the premiere of Dancing With the Stars Season 34, alongside her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives co-stars, Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt, only fueled the speculation.
Even Bachelor alum Ashley Iaconetti weighed in on a recent episode of The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast, predicting that Paul could be the next reality star to appear on the DWTS dance floor.
If these rumors turn out to be true, it wouldn’t be a surprise because DWTS has a long history of casting celebrities who are often in the headlines, and Taylor Frankie Paul definitely fits the bill.
She first caught attention with her TikTok content in the MomTok community, then moved on to Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, where fans and critics quickly became obsessed with her.
In September 2022, Paul was announced as the lead for The Bachelorette Season 22, set to premiere in 2026.
On top of all that, Taylor has made it clear that she loves to dance. Just last July, she posted a viral clip showing off her moves in the kitchen, captioned, “When DWTS asked if I had any dance experience? …umm no, but I am the creator of Baja Blast.” The video has since racked up close to 3 million views.
While all the signs are pointing in the right direction, there’s still no official word that Taylor Frankie Paul is joining DWTS. Fans will have to wait for the show’s producers to give the green light.
