As anticipation builds for Taylor Frankie Paul’s season 22 of The Bachelorette, ABC is giving fans a glimpse of her potential suitors.
“We are giving you an early look at the men who may be on this season of The Bachelorette!” ABC wrote via Facebook on Thursday, October 23. “Leave a for who would get your first impression rose.”
Among the more than 20 potential contestants, some fans pointed to Casey — who is 30 and hails from Nashville, Tennessee — as being a lookalike to Taylor’s ex Dakota Mortensen. “He looks like her baby daddy,” one user wrote, while another added, “He can be the Dakota’s [sic] twin.”
Taylor — who rose to fame on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — was previously in a relationship with Dakota, with whom she shares son Ever, 19 months. She was married to ex-husband Tate Paul, with whom she shares daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5, from 2016 to 2022.
After news broke of her casting in September, Taylor exclusively told Us Weekly that she had not had a chance to sit down with Dakota to talk about The Bachelorette.
“I don’t know exactly how he’ll react or feel, but he does know that we opened the gates of dating other people. [He’ll] probably [be] sad. I assume that it’s like, ‘Whoa, she’s gonna be dating people, a lot, and then also, in front of me,’ and that’s probably gonna be kind of hard to watch,” she said. “I can’t speak for him, but I’d assume it wouldn’t be the best news he’s heard on that day.”
