"I would think no, but with her, she likes them fast!" Liann quipped.
"And so, I'm just like, 'Please take your time with these guys!' I don't know, we'll see. She just jumps into everything so quickly. I don't know."
Since Taylor is now 31 years old, Liann shared, "I would hope at her age, she would take her time a little bit, but I don't know. She doesn't listen to me! I think I should start saying the opposite and then maybe she will."
Taylor is a divorced mother of three, and she has joked about how she has "two baby daddies."
Liann said she needs to "start doing" some "reverse psychology" with her daughter.
"I'll be like, 'Yes, let's get married! Let's have some kids!' And then she might not do it. I don't know," Liann noted.
Liann shared how she hopes Taylor knows exactly what she needs and wants in a man at this stage in her life.
"I want her to be really secure and know what she really wants this time," Liann told Ashley.
"I just hope she doesn't keep repeating that same toxic, I don't know, mess of her life... She's just gone through so much that her life has been such a mess for the past few years."
Liann concluded, "I'm hoping she goes in and finds somebody that's great."

"The engagement? Yeah, obviously I can see it," Taylor revealed during an 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 date her final pick outside of that bubble.

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.
"It's not going to be like that for me. It just isn't, and that's okay. But I would still want to get to know that person."
Taylor told Alex that if something "alarming" were to come up in her relationship after getting engaged, she could still 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.
The show has also documented Taylor's first post-divorce relationship with Dakota. Taylor and Dakota made their romance public in July 2022, and then the pair welcomed a son, Ever True, in March 2024.
Liann alleged that Taylor and Dakota are still in love, and that Dakota will sabotage her The Bachelorette season if he has a chance.
