The secret lives of Mormon wives continue to keep us guessing.

TikToker Taylor Frankie Paul recently teased that she and Dakota Mortensen are back together, weeks after the on-and-off couple had broken up. 

The couple—who share 7-month-old son Ever True—appeared together on Taylor's Instagram Stories Oct. 20, where she shared a photo of herself looking cozy with Dakota at a gun range.

In a follow-up post, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star reshared a quote Oct. 21 that said, "Due to personal reasons, I'll be back with the same man I said I'm done with." She then deleted the reshared post from her Stories.

Taylor—who also shares daughter Indy, 7, and son Ocean, 4, with ex Tate Paul—continued to fuel speculation that she'd gotten back together with Dakota on TikTok.

She shared a video with text that read "she is such an unstable back and forth mess," which she captioned, "Unless you're living the same exact life, I don't expect anyone to understand." Dakota reposted the cryptic video onto his page.

Fans were quick to support the 30-year-old reality star's apparent decision to reconcile with Dakota, 31, and she also liked comments that were supportive of her relationship.

Back in September, the #MomTok creator revealed that she and Dakota were no longer together, but that their future as a couple was uncertain.

"I would say we’re working on things, and I actually have no idea where it goes with us from here," she told Us Weekly in a story published Sept. 23. "We are not fully together, but not fully done. I don’t know what the future holds with him and I."

Taylor added that she was "heartbroken," saying, "It’s just a lot. I’m trying to cope."

Taylor and Dakota's tumultuous dynamic was put under a microscope on the first season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which was recently renewed for season two.

The first episode ended with Taylor getting arrested on domestic violence charges following an argument with Dakota. (In 2023, she reached a plea deal in her case.)

Throughout the rest of the season, during which Taylor was pregnant with Ever True, the couple overcame a variety of hurdles, including cheating allegations, trust issues and concern from family and friends.

Before their breakup in September, the TikTok star opened up about the aspects of their dynamic that weren't highlighted on the Hulu series.

"Things have gotten a lot better," she told TODAY Sept. 9. "We’re obviously far from the end goal, because we come in (to the relationship) with such baggage, and now we’re doing TV and a lot comes with that. We’re in couples therapy and coaching, so they’re kind of helping us to communicate and learn all these things while taking on the loud noise, which is really cool."
