Who is 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' star Layla Taylor's ex-husband?

Leila is a single mother of two. Her ex-husband has been completely removed from her Instagram. It is unclear whether their split had anything to do with the breakup of another cast member's marriage, who claimed that Mormon couples were "soft swinging."

"No one was innocent. Everyone has hooked up with everyone," Taylor Frankie Paul, now divorced, shares in the trailer for the upcoming series.

While Layla's ex-husband is absent from her Instagram, hints of him can still be found on the new reality star's TikTok. In February 2023, she revealed her second pregnancy just three months after the birth of her first child through a heartwarming family photo.

However, by December of that same year, Layla had started sharing her experiences as a single mother, providing updates about her life raising two boys independently, including a glimpse into her daily routine.

In a different post, 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' star revealed that she is eliminating men from her life in 2024.

Layla, a mother of two, is ready to start dating again after her divorce. She has expressed her frustration with dating apps and is considering a more unconventional approach by searching for potential partners at Home Depot.

Which stars from 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' have gone through divorce?

Along with Taylor Frankie Paul, who has left her former partner Tate Paul for her new boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, Layla and other divorced Mormon cast members will also appear in the eight-part Hulu series set to premiere on September 6, 2024.

According to People, Demi Engemann is now married for the second time and has three children with her current husband.

On the other hand, Jessi Ngatikaura, who is also a mother of three, has gone through a divorce and is now remarried.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints permits divorce and remarriage, although individuals may need to seek approval from church leaders for these actions.

Cast member Mayci Neeley breaks the stereotypes often associated with married Mormon life by openly discussing her experience of having children through reproductive technology, which includes being a single or remarried mother.

Talking about IVF, the Mormon handbook states, "When needed, reproductive technology can assist a married woman and man in their righteous desire to have children. This technology includes artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization."

It further reads, "The Church discourages artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization using sperm from anyone but the husband or an egg from anyone but the wife. However, this is a personal matter that is ultimately left to the judgment and prayerful consideration of a lawfully married man and woman."
