‘Mormon Wives’ Star Layla Taylor Breaks Her Silence On Recent Breakup

“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Layla Taylor has been sharing her budding romance with Mason McWhorter online for months and fans were super happy for the couple. But then many noticed that something was off and they no longer followed each other on social media.

Because fans were sharing their thoughts in videos, it prompted Layla to break her silence and explain what’s going on. Her recently shared TikTok video shows real, raw emotion, and tells the story that fans hoped wasn’t the case.

Many content creators were sharing their thoughts about Layla and Mason’s relationship and because people noticed something was up, Layla decided to break her silence in an emotional TikTok video.

“I just wanted to hop on here to kind of, I mean, I feel like it’s kind of obvious. I think everyone’s already noticed and there’s pages already making videos about it, so I just wanted to hop on here to kind of set the record straight on something,” she began her emotional video. “I’m already seeing some comments that are not true and I don’t want anything being spread about him that’s not what happened and not the reality of the situation.”

After explaining how hard it is for her to be vulnerable on social media despite being a reality star, she said she’s seen a lot of posts online of other people going through things, so she chose to be vulnerable.

“Obviously, me and Mason are no longer together,” she said through tears. “It’s still super fresh.”

Layla said there’s “no bad blood” between her and Mason, and she “genuinely want and wish nothing but the best for Mason.”

“Things just weren’t working out,” she continued. “I think we were just on two different paths right now, and he felt in order for him to grow, he had to be on his own. And I respect his decision, and I truly hope that he gets what he wants in life.”

She explained that this relationship was the first one since her marriage that she felt would go the distance.

“Mason was a really big part of me and my boys’ lives for the past almost year,” she continued. “And we went through a lot in this last year, to be honest. But I’m grateful for everything, and I’m grateful he was a part of my life for how long he was.”

The “Mormon Wives” star explained that Mason was a big part of her sons’ lives, and they are also feeling sad about this turn of events.

“I just really thought that I was gonna get the family that I wanted so badly,” she continued through tears.

She asked fans to continue to be “nice and kind to him” and she appreciates all the fans for being so “protective” over her.

“I still love him so much,” she said. “And I only want the best for him.”

She said she might be “quiet on social media” for a while so she can “get over the bad part of this.”

Layla’s video quickly captured tons of attention, receiving more than 400,000 views in just three hours.

Many viewers took to the comment section to share some love and support for the reality star, including some of her “Mormon Wives” costars.
