Why Isn’t Kenna Gibbons On ‘The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives’? Taylor Frankie Paul’s Drama With Former Soft-Swinger Friend Explained

Taylor Frankie Paul shocked MomTok when she shared her experiences of soft-swinging with her Mormon friends in 2022. This revelation led to the creation of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu. In Season 2, Miranda McWhorter, who also participated in soft-swinging with her then-husband Chase McWhorter, joins the cast. Makenna “Kenna” Gibbons, the only remaining wife from their group of soft-swingers, has yet to appear on the show.

In a September 2024 episode of Nick Viall‘s Viall Files podcast, Taylor disclosed that she and her ex-husband Tate Paul engaged in soft-swinging with two other couples in their Mormon community. The other couples, including Miranda and Chase, and Kenna and her ex-husband Brayden Rowley, later confirmed their involvement in wife-swapping.

Taylor’s account detailed how the soft-swinging dynamic evolved, starting with the wives kissing and progressing to more intimate interactions with the husbands involved. Eventually, Kenna and Brayden joined their group, but complications arose when Taylor and Brayden had an affair, leading to the end of both marriages.

Kenna later shared her side of the story on TikTok, revealing that their soft-swinging experiences caused the breakdown of her marriage with Brayden. She decided to end their participation in such activities, feeling ashamed of her decisions. Allegations of feelings developing between Brayden and Taylor further complicated the situation.

Despite Kenna’s revelations, Taylor claimed that Kenna was more involved in the soft-swinging than she admitted. The two exchanged accusations on TikTok, with Taylor defending her actions while acknowledging her guilt.

With the drama unfolding, fans are eager for Kenna to join Season 3 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Season 2 is currently available for streaming on Hulu.
