What surprised fans most was not only the confession itself, but the timing. Just four months after the split, she is now speaking openly about new feelings, a new relationship and a new version of herself.
The woman at the center of the story is Layla Taylor, star of the reality show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Speaking on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, she revealed that she is bisexual and is currently dating a woman.
For many viewers, the revelation came as a surprise, as Layla had mostly been known publicly through her relationships with men, her divorce and her life as a mother of two. But Taylor made it clear that this was not something sudden.
She explained that she had felt attracted to women since she was young, but for a long time, she could not say it out loud. Her religious background, conservative surroundings and lack of representation all played a role in keeping that part of her private.
According to the reality star, after her recent breakup with Mason McWhorter, she finally started asking herself what she truly wanted. Not as an ex-wife, not as a mother, not as a cast member on a popular show, but simply as a person with the right to live honestly.
Her new relationship began in a very modern way — through social media. The woman she is now dating first reacted to something on Layla’s Instagram, and their conversation slowly grew into something more meaningful.
What makes the revelation even more interesting is that, according to Layla, her castmates did not yet know about it when the podcast was recorded. She said she did not want to share such personal news in a group chat and preferred to tell them in person.
Taylor emphasized that she now feels proud of who she is. Her story quickly spread across the media because it resonated not only with fans of the reality show, but also with people who have spent years being afraid to speak honestly about themselves.
After a breakup that seemed like the end of one chapter, Layla opened another. And this time, her biggest revelation was not about drama, heartbreak or public attention — it was about the freedom to finally be herself.
