What to Know
In 2022, one of the eponymous Mormon wives of #MomTok – Taylor Frankie Paul – went viral for revealing that she and her soon-to-be ex-husband, Tate, were “soft-swinging” with other Mormon couples. If you have no idea what that means, you’re not alone. Basically, it means the couples were performing non-penetrative sexual acts with one another.
This news rocked the #MomTok community, with many of the wives now put in the awkward situation of either confirming or denying whether or not they were part of Paul’s “soft-swinging” group. “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” chronicles the wives of #MomTok navigating the choppy waters of the aftermath of Paul’s viral scandal.
What to Remember from Season 1 of ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives‘
It’s safe to say a lot happened in the first season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”, but a few events were more earth-shattering than others and more important to remember when starting Season 2.
Of course, one of the biggest issues is the relationship between Taylor and Dakota. Taylor got together with Dakota after leaving her husband, Tate, and by the end of Season 1, she’s having Dakota’s baby. It’s just around then that her friend Mayci reveals that she knows Dakota has had an affair behind Taylor’s back.
By the end of Season 1, Whitney – who had previously taken over the leadership of #MomTok after Taylor – is persona non grata in the group. Her last friend among them all is Mayci, but that seems to end when Whitney doesn’t show up for Mayci’s brand launch party.
And finally, there’s the whole drama between Jen and Zac after Jen chose to go to watch male dancers against Zac’s wishes. Jen went to New York to look at schools with Zac, seemingly leaving #MomTok for good.
