Overview
- Layla Taylor publicly came out as bisexual on the On Purpose With Jay Shetty podcast released Monday, June 29, saying she dates women and men.
- She confirmed she is currently seeing a woman she met after the woman liked one of her social media photos but did not name her.
- Taylor said most of her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives castmates did not know before the episode and that she intends to tell them face to face when production resumes.
- She traced the timing to recent relationship changes — including a breakup with Mason McWhorter and a 2025 divorce from Clayton Wessell — and to growing up Black in a largely white area with limited queer representation.
- Members of the MomTok and SLOMW community posted largely supportive comments and emojis, and the announcement has drawn attention to representation and privacy for reality-TV figures going forward.
