Finally!!… Taylor Frankie Paul has confirmed what we’ve long suspected!

Jesse Palmer revealed Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette is going to be epic — and unforgettable.

“This is going to be a season unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. I’ve been hosting for five years now, and I’ve never seen anything like this. Taylor is fantastic. I’m really excited for people to see a totally different side to her than the one we’re used to seeing on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Taylor has a really big heart, she’s really intentional, she’s very thoughtful, and she has a lot of her plate as the Bachelorette because she’s stepping into this world fresh,” the athlete, 47, who stars in Great Clips’ national marketing campaign for the College Football Playoff (this time alongside Falcons QB Kirk Cousins), exclusively tells OK!.

“She was never on a previous season. I don’t know how many previous seasons she’s actually ever watched. I don’t know how much Taylor knew about the framework or structure of what she’s doing, but she had great intentions, and she showed up wanting to fall in love and wanting to find her person,” Palmer continues of the reality starlet, who got famous after appearing in the Hulu show, which focuses on a group of Mormon mom influencers get caught in the midst of a swinging scandal that makes headlines.

“She’s had a lot of heavy decisions to make because she’s not just doing what’s in her own best interest — she’s got three children, so she had a lot to think about.”

Paul, who shares daughter Indy (born 2017) and son Ocean (born 2020) with ex-husband Tate Paul, and son Ever (born 2024) with ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, was known for doing things “her own way,” Palmer reveals.

“She kept us on our toes! We were breaking format so many different times throughout the course of the show. I would show up to work every single day not knowing what she was going to do, what she was going to say, where she was going to go.

I can promise this is going to be one wild ride, and it will be unlike anything anybody’s ever seen before,” he shares.

Last year, ABC announced a shake-up by naming Paul, 31, as the show’s lead, departing from its usual practice of selecting a former contestant.

“I think it was a gamble for sure,” the football star notes. “I think this is a gamble that is absolutely going to pay off. I don’t know if this is something we’re going to continue every single season. With Taylor specifically, she knocked it out of the park.

There was something refreshing about it, too, because of her sincerity and also being so new [to the franchise]. She has a background in reality TV, and she’s very good in front of the camera. She can be emotional; she’s great in interviews, but it was refreshing because she was living it for the first time every single day as well.

She’s so relatable in a lot of different ways. Taylor’s not perfect. None of us are! She’s flawed, and she embraces that, and she’s not afraid to talk about that.

You see a lot of layers to her that get peeled back. I can’t wait for people to see this. We’re definitely going out of the box with this one.”

Since Palmer had no clue what would happen while on set, he jokes the show has “aged” him from this one season alone. However, it was “worth it.”

“I lost a lot of sleep, but she’s incredible. I’m so excited for people to see this side of her. I know she has millions of fans now. I think she’s going to gain millions more when all is said and done,” he predicts. “The group of guys are absolutely fantastic.”
