<p id=”par-2_35″>Taylor and Tate married in 2016. In 2017, they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Indy. In 2020, they had a son, Ocean. After their divorce in 2022, they have been co-parenting their children. </p>
<p id=”par-3_37″>Taylor’s more recent ex, Dakota Mortensen, has <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/the-next-the-bachelorette-star-a-look-back-at-taylor-frankie-pauls-domestic-violence-arrest.html/”>a tumultuous relationship</a> with her. Cru Eaton, Mortensen’s roommate, recently hosted a livestream. In a comment, Tate gave some insight into the current state of his co-parenting relationship with Taylor.</p>
<p id=”par-4_20″>“My co-parenting relationship has been peaceful for the most part,” he wrote. “The last few months has been not so.”</p>

<p id=”par-5_40″>Tate and Taylor’s marriage ended in 2022, following a soft-swinging scandal. The couple became intimately involved with other “MomTok” couples. Taylor explained that they didn’t go “all the way,” though. She admitted that she crossed a line in this dynamic.</p>
<p id=”par-6_49″>“The agreement was just like, as long as we were both there and we saw it and we knew it, it was OK,” she said in a TikTok Live video. “And the second it goes behind without each other, you’ve stepped out of the agreement. And I did that.”</p>

<p id=”par-7_7″>They decided to divorce because of this.</p>
<p id=”par-8_71″>“For Tate and I, I think it’s best that we separate and divorce, and kind of find ourselves and find what makes us happy, start fresh,” she said. “I think there’s been a lot of evil around us and we’ve participated in, obviously… And I think we need a fresh start and to kind of wake up. This was a good wake up call for us and our entire friend group.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_4″>Tate has since remarried.</p>

<p id=”par-12_33″>Mortensen currently holds primary custody of Ever, but Taylor recently <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/taylor-frankie-paul-high-hill-climb-despite-court-win-says-attorney.html/”>regained the right</a> to supervised visitation. She will have custody of Ever on alternating weekends, and one midweek day that is not overnight.</p>
<p id=”par-13_30″>“I’m encouraged and I think we’re moving in the right direction,” the judge said, per <a target=”_blank” href=”https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/judes-rules-in-taylor-frankie-paul-dakota-mortensen-case/” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Us Weekly</a>. “From now until the next hearing, I’m going to recommend supervision be lifted.”</p>
<p id=”par-14_30″>The judge also ordered Taylor and Mortensen to avoid making disparaging posts about one another on social media, to attend therapy, and to stay 100 feet away from each other.</p>
