Who is Miranda McWhorter? Meet The New Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives Star

Taylor Frankie Paul is back in the spotlight. Her shocking soft-swinging scandal, which shook the MomTok world in 2022, is now a major storyline in Season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu. The new season digs deeper into Taylor’s past—and introduces fans to Miranda McWhorter, one of the women involved in the scandal.

Who is Miranda McWhorter?

Miranda was once Taylor’s close friend and a fellow influencer. She’s now appearing in Season 2 after years of denying the swinging claims. In the first three episodes, Miranda and Taylor meet again to discuss their fallout. Miranda shares her version of the story, and Taylor gives hers—with no filters.

What Happened in the Swinging Scandal?

Back in 2022, Taylor revealed that she and her then-husband Tate Paul were involved in “soft swinging” with other Mormon couples. She later admitted to having an affair with one of the husbands. This confession caused her marriage to end and created huge drama within the MomTok community.

Who Else Was Involved?

Three couples were part of the scandal. Miranda and her ex-husband Chase McWhorter were the first to swing with Taylor and Tate. Later, another couple—McKenna Gibbons and Brayden Rowley—joined. Taylor reportedly had the affair with Brayden, which he confirmed on his OnlyDads podcast in August 2024.

What Did Taylor and Miranda Do?

Miranda says they only played spin the bottle and kissed their own husbands at the parties. She claims there was no s*xual contact with other partners. But Taylor’s story is very different. Taylor says they shared a shower and a bed with their husbands. They also kissed blindfolded to guess who was who—and even made out with each other while the men watched and filmed.

Miranda later admits that “more than kissing” happened, which supports Taylor’s version.

Why Is Miranda Back?

Some of the women in the show believe Miranda returned for fame. After denying the scandal for two years, her sudden reappearance during the show’s rise in popularity made them suspicious. Now divorced from Chase, Miranda says she’s finally ready to tell her side.
