Since Taylor has already been through a divorce -- followed by another public breakup with Dakota Mortensen -- and has children to think about, she opened up about whether there's a chance she'll accept a marriage proposal on her The Bachelorette finale.
"The engagement? Yeah, obviously I can see it," Taylor revealed during a recent appearance on Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star added, "I'm a very honest person, and I'm going to say it as it is. I'm only going to do it if it's the right person."
Taylor insisted she's not going to get engaged unless she's completely convinced she has found The One.
"I mean, I feel like I am not one that's going to do it unless I feel like I'm ready for it," Taylor explained.
"But let's just say I do find the man of my dreams and he's there and I fall in love. If we get engaged, I still, I do want to take the time to be engaged and still get to know him."
Taylor pointed out how The Bachelorette is a "short-lived" dating process and so she wants plenty of time to get to know her final pick outside of that bubble.
"I do want to take that time. Again, it's going to be my third serious relationship," Taylor said.
Taylor -- who was married to Tate Paul from 2016 to 2022 -- said her The Bachelorette engagement would be "a lot more serious" because she has kids.
"I'm not just a young girl dating," she noted, adding how she'll keep that in mind when Fantasy Suites approach.

Taylor told Alex that if something "alarming" were to come up in their relationship, she could dump him.
"I can break it off, you know? And it's not a full-on marriage where you're going through a divorce and whatnot," Taylor shared.
"And then also, there is that time to grow and get to know him, and it's even more beautiful and then you get married, you know? So it could go both ways."
When Taylor and Tate were together, they welcomed two children: daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5.
Taylor previously admitted to violating the rules of the couple's soft-swinging arrangement by becoming more intimate with another man in their friend group, which led to their separation and eventual May 2022 divorce.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which premiered in 2023 on Hulu, featured the cheating scandal.
