Taylor Paul and Tate divorce explained
Taylor Paul and Tate Paul divorced in May 2022 because she had violated the rules of an agreed “soft swinging” arrangement they had made with themselves and their other Mormon friends. She revealed this in a TikTok livestream.
In that livestream, Taylor Paul went into detail about how she and Tate participated in “soft swinging” with their other married Mormon friends. Through this “soft swinging” agreement, the couple and their friends would get drunk. After getting drunk, Taylor and the other Mormon wives would start making out with each other. They would also make out with each other’s husbands.
Taylor Paul added how she broke the rules and pushed the limits of the arrangement. She had got drunk and took things too far with one of her husband’s friends. This contributed to Tate eventually asking for a divorce.
However, Taylor Paul also revealed that other factors were involved in their divorce besides her rulebreaking. “The divorce is not like, all because of this huge blow-up [in our friend group]. It was more ’cause I feel like we had a lot of other issues, and then this was the tip of the iceberg,” she mentioned. (via Distractify)
Despite this, Taylor Paul mentioned in the live video that she was not entirely at fault. “No one was innocent. Everyone has hooked up with everyone in this situation. So, yes, I’m getting shunned for doing that, but it wasn’t like I was going around hooking up with my friend’s husband,” she said. (via Mamamia)
