Although Taylor filmed The Bachelorette's 22nd season and got engaged to Doug Mason during her season finale, which never aired on ABC, she's no longer in a relationship.

And according to the #MomTok co-creator and mom of three, she hasn't slept with a man since the relationships she rekindled with Dakota and former flame Ben Lambert after returning home from filming The Bachelorette ended.
"The fact that I remained single and celibate during the 10 loneliest months of life has me shocked but progress I guess," Taylor, 32, wrote over an Instagram video of herself dancing on Sunday, November 8.

Taylor -- who admitted to sleeping with Dakota shortly after accepting Doug's marriage proposal, admitted this is new behavior for her.
"If you're familiar with how I am, you know it's the opposite of what I would have normally done. (I hate to admit)," Taylor wrote in the caption of her post.
"However this year has been filled with many learning lessons and let's add this one to the list: how to be OK with being alone."
One fan wrote to Taylor in the comments, "It might not seem like a long time to some people but when you heavily depended on earning love from a man to feel worthy, it's a big milestone when [you're]... healing alone."
Taylor responded, "THISSS. Thank you just because it' easy for some doesn't mean for us all."

Another person criticized Taylor by writing, "Honey, people just know a red flag when they see one," to which Taylor clapped back, "Please [skull emoji]. Let's not act like the opportunity of men went away."

When a troll claimed Taylor is doing the "bare minimum" to better herself, Taylor snapped, "Can we say it's a start? Perspective."
Taylor also assured a follower that she's loving her "peace" right now.
"I'm worried I might like it too much," she noted.

But Taylor joked about how there's a "low chance" she'll be able to keep this up for years.
Nearly a year after popping the question to Taylor in St. Lucia in late 2025, Doug opened up on an October 2026 episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast about how Taylor "instantly" rejected him once cameras stopped rolling.
Doug said he had a feeling Taylor wasn't over Dakota when he proposed, mainly because Taylor had told him during their Fantasy Suite date that she had slept with Dakota right before filming began.
"I think over time I realized that I was the replacement for that two-month period," Doug alleged in his conversation with Charity Lawson and Rachel Recchia, adding, "The night that she left the engagement, she went back to Dakota."
Taylor revealed on Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives that she hooked up with Dakota again once she returned home to Utah from filming. Taylor attempted to justify her actions by saying she was already questioning the model and aspiring singer's intentions.

Doug also slammed Taylor for allegedly playing games and trying to manipulate him.

Doug claimed that while Taylor was filming The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives -- shortly after her return home from The Bachelorette -- that she didn't care about his whereabouts or what he was doing.
"And so the manipulation started. [She was] putting it on me and [saying], 'You didn't really love me. You didn't really want this,'" Doug alleged of his then-fiancee.
"How many times did I have to say it? [Then] I got it, 'Oh, this is the game you play! I don't play games, so I don't want anything to do with this.'"
Doug also accused Taylor of being "fake" during their Happy Couple visit, which is when he found out she had cheated on him with Dakota and they ended their relationship for good.
"She was blaming me, blaming the experience, and then started to cry, like I had made her cry," Doug vented.
"Listen, I've been down this road before, and this isn't what I want. So I walked out of the room [and said], 'I guess I came to the right show, but I got introduced to the wrong girl.'"
Doug said what he found with Taylor was "not real love" and he's happier without her. He also insisted he will never rekindle a romance with Taylor, nor did he care to even speak to her again.
Taylor's The Bachelorette season was canceled after a 2023 video leaked of her attacking Dakota, the father of her two-year-old son, Ever True, in front of her daughter Indy. (Taylor shares Indy, now 8, and son Ocean, 6, with ex-husband Tate Paul).
Taylor was arrested in February 2023 for an altercation with Dakota, and the pair have recently been embroiled in a legal and custody dispute. They accused each other of domestic violence in February and subsequently filed dueling restraining orders.

Not only did Taylor and Dakota drama prompt ABC to pull the plug on Taylor's The Bachelorette season, but The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives also temporarily halted production on Season 5 this past spring.
Taylor announced while The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives was filming Season 6 that she's leaving the show. It's unclear whether she stepped away from production or simply has no plans of returning for Season 7.
