Dakota Mortensen Breaks Silence on Ex's Arrest

0:00Dakota Mortensen just broke his silence on that close police probe into an alleged domestic dust-up with his ex, Taylor Frankie Paul. The 33-year-old dad posted on Instagram early Monday, April 20th, after news hit March 16th that their February class shut down. Season 5 filming of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Us Weekly confirmed April 14th that no charges are coming for the 31-year-old Taylor. In his post, Dakota said he stepped back from the drama for some much-needed clarity, zeroing in on their two-year-old son, Ever, and building a stable home. He owns his role in their rocky ride from July 2022 to December 2024, apologizes to those hurt, but pushes back on the one-sided public spin. Fans and followers are buzzing about the messy history here, especially since three years back, Taylor got arrested in another spat with Dakota. She pled guilty to aggravated assault then, with other charges dropped, and it's all weighing heavy on their co-parencing now.

1:01Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill laid it out clear. After digging through reports from draper and West Jordan cops, they passed on filing. Anything against Taylor. Dakota wrapped by vowing to step up as Ever's top dad, even dropping the National Domestic Violence Hotline number 1, 0799, 7233 for anyone needing it, signaling a real pivot to healing ahead.
