Taylor Frankie Paul has filed a restraining order against her ex, Dakota Mortensen.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star’s legal move came less than an hour before a scheduled court hearing Tuesday about Mortensen seeking a protective order against Paul.
Mortensen is the father of her youngest child and has temporary custody.
Both Mortensen and Paul’s orders are in response to a domestic incident in late February between the former couple that led them both to accuse each other of domestic violence.
The incident also caused season five of SLOMW, Hulu’s hit reality show that made Paul famous, to pause production amid the police investigation.
It comes after Paul’s previously-forthcoming season of The Bachelorette was canceled due to a video that surfaced of a separate domestic dispute between Paul and Mortensen in 2021. The mom-of-three pleaded guilty to aggravated assault after that event and is on probation for it until this August.
