Taylor Farnkie Faces Son Custody Dispute Amid Dakota Mortensen Assault Probe

Taylor Farnkie’s ex-husband, Dakota Mortensen, has been granted temporary custody of their two-year-old son, Ever. This decision came after an ongoing domestic assault investigation following a controversial video leak of Taylor Farnkie, the “Bachelorette” star.

The protective order prohibits any parent time for both parents until the scheduled hearing on April 7. The order was put in place after TMZ published footage of Taylor allegedly assaulting Dakota, as reported by People.

ABC also cancelled “The Bachelorette” season 22, set to premiere on March 21, due to the ongoing investigation. The Draper City Police Department confirmed an open domestic assault investigation involving both parties, with allegations made in both directions.

Taylor’s insider denied she was violent during the incident and stated that the reality star was focused on her now-cancelled Bachelorette premiere.
