Taylor Frankie Paul has been checking off tons of exciting boxes! She’s about to bring her energy to the court, officially joining the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game lineup for her first time. The “Mormon Wives” star will join other celebrities on the court during All-Star Weekend, bringing her signature energy and fan following to the popular annual NBA event.

The NBA All-Star Celebrity Game roster was released on Tuesday morning and “Mormon Wives” fans will notice a familiar name – the one and only Taylor Frankie Paul.

Other names on the roster include Mustard, Tacko Fall, Keegan-Michael Key, Glorilla, Shams Charania, and others. Coaches for the celebrity game are Giannis, Alex, and Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Mookie Betts, Anthony Anderson, Lethal Shooter, and Chris Brickley.

The game is set to tip-off on Friday, Feb. 13 at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Popular viral content creator, who goes by Stephwithdadeets on TikTok, shared Paul’s big basketball news. After sharing that this news could be why other members of MomTok had surprising reactions to something Paul was telling them in recent social media posts, Steph explained why she “loves this for Taylor.”

“And I actually kind of love this for Taylor cause I remember her saying that she likes to play basketball. I’ve seen videos she’s posted playing basketball, and you know, she’s not bad,” Steph said. “And someone that commented on my last video being like, Taylor has no talents outside of ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.’ A. I think that’s kind of rude. B. We’re not gonna know someone’s talents unless they showcase it.”

Many fans dropped into the comment section to leave their thoughts on Paul being on the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game roster.

“She definitely is talented, she is a strategic queen, rage bait master, are just a few that come to mind,” one viewer wrote. Another added, “Wasn’t she like a legit athlete in high school?”

In addition to the Ruffles All-Star Celebrity Game, NBA All-Star Weekend also has other exciting games and challenges happening from Friday, Feb. 13 through Sunday, Feb. 15.

This year, the All-Star game will be a bit different than in previous years. The NBA shared some news about the game on social media a few weeks ago, explaining that this year’s game will feature “new U.S. vs. World competition.” The game will include two U.S. teams and one world team in a round-robin tournament with four 12-minute games on Sunday, Feb. 15 at 5 p.m. PT.

“In the 2026 NBA All-Star Game, two teams of U.S. players and one team of international players (known as the World team) will compete in a round-robin tournament featuring four 12-minute games. The three teams will each have a minimum of eight players,” the statement reads. “In the round-robin tournament, Team A will play Team B in Game 1. The winning team from Game 1 will take on Team C in Game 2, followed by the losing team of Game 1 meeting Team C in Game 3.”

After Game 3, the top two teams will advance and face off in the championship game.

A few days prior to Paul’s NBA news hitting the internet, she shared a video on Instagram that really hit home for many viewers.

Captioned, “Trust me I know ball, however if I’ve learned anything, it’s that more often than not, people just want to be heard. It’s also important to validate yourself in whatever you may be feeling or it just gets louder. Forever grateful for the knowledge and tools I was taught by these amazing people even if I don’t always utilize it,” Paul shared clips of things that have helped her mental health journey.

A few of those things include – equine therapy, art therapy, movement, trauma yoga, and prayer, red light therapy, among a few others.

The video quickly grabbed tons of attention with viewers heading for the comment section to share some positivity and thoughts.

“Welcome to your awakening my dear. So proud of you for all of the amazing hard work you have done on yourself. You’ve got this,” one viewer wrote. Another added, “So inspiring! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.” One other said, “Mental health above everything else right now! With the state of the world rn the most important thing we can do is take care of ourselves!!!”

A few weeks ago, Hulu announced that season 4 of the hit reality show will premiere on March 12. Secret Lives on Hulu’s Instagram page shared the trailer and many fans had something to say about it.

Paul dropped into the comments to say, “I’m scuuuuurrred for once.” Swig Drinks said, “I’M SAT.”

One viewer pointed out, “I’ve never seen a reality show drop so many seasons so quickly.” Another said, “That’s right, just keep the seasons coming!!”
