Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Cast Then vs Now Photos

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives fans have watched the cast change on and off screen before the series even debuted.

Season 1 of hit reality series, which follows a group of Mormon mom influencers, debuted on Hulu in September 2024 following star Taylor Frankie Paul‘s “soft swinging” sex scandal.

“We’re not all swingers,” Whitney Leavitt exclusively told Us Weekly at the time despite the scandal not affecting her “all all” in the months after the drama. “I think it’d be different if I was actually involved in it, but I wasn’t, so I just took the clout from it.”

Mayci Neely had the same takeaway, sharing with Us, “We’re not all swingers. You can be Mormon and wear a crop top and leggings as well. You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to be the stereotypical Mormon that people think we’re all supposed to be.”

In June 2022, Taylor revealed via TikTok that her marriage to husband Tate Paul in the aftermath of the drama.

“I guess I’m pretty much known from my headlines of Swinger Mom,” Taylor exclusively told Us. “For the show, I really wanted them to see me and more of me and my personality and a deeper level. I feel like I come off so different online than I actually am in a conversation. So I felt like this was my chance to tell my story and get a deeper look into who I am.”

Layla Taylor, meanwhile, showed sympathy for Taylor’s situation.

“It was just having to remember that we’re all human and that we make mistakes,”she shared with Us. “It was a very difficult situation and it’s so public what she had to go through, and I think she handled it the best way that she could. I just forgive her because she handled it the way that she could at that moment.”

During an interview with Us, Mikayla Matthews slapped the “general” misunderstanding about MomTok.

“We’re not all just this perfect united front,” she told Us. “I feel like on social media, everyone’s like, ‘Oh, there’s these eight faces on the screen and they’re all dressed in the same outfit. They look unified, they look put together,’ and our show really kind of cuts back on all of that, all the perception. We’re normal, I guess.”
