“You are on ‘Call Her Daddy’ so we can officially announce that you are this season’s ‘Bachelorette.’ How are you feeling?” Cooper asked.
“Surreal. It has not hit me right now in this moment,” she said. “I’m just thinking about it, and it’s not real. And it’s not going to be until I think the limo is pulling up, you know? And meeting the people.”
Paul is one of the stars on “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” a show that chronicles the experiences of TikTok influencers from Utah as they balance their personal and professional lives.
The “Mormon Wives” star was involved in a swinging scandal, which led to her divorce from her then-husband Tate Paul, US Weekly reported.
The exes share two children, Indy and Ocean. Paul also welcomed a son, Ever, with her ex, Dakota Mortensen.
