UPDATE: Layla Taylor, star of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, has confirmed her emotional breakup with boyfriend Mason McWhorter after nearly one year of dating. In a tearful TikTok video posted on February 7, 2025, Layla revealed, “I’m no longer with Mason,” marking a significant moment for fans and followers.
In her heartfelt video, Layla, 24, expressed the difficulty of sharing such personal news, stating, “I don’t ever really come on my page and cry, so this is already really hard for me to do.” She emphasized the need to “set the record straight,” as she had already seen “some comments that are not true” about the split. Layla described the breakup as “still super fresh,” assuring fans there was “no bad blood” between them.
“I genuinely wish and want the best for Mason. Things just weren’t working out,” she explained. “I think we were just on two different paths right now. He felt in order for him to grow, he had to be on his own. And I respect his decision.”
The separation is particularly poignant for Layla, as Mason had formed a close bond with her two sons, Ollie and Maxwell, during their relationship. “Mason was a really big part of me and my boys’ lives for the past almost year,” she reflected. “We went through a lot in this last year, to be honest. But I’m grateful for everything.”
While Layla struggled to hold back tears, she shared her disappointment, stating, “I just really thought that I was gonna get the family that I wanted so badly.” She thanked her fans for their support and urged them to be “nice and kind” to Mason during this difficult time.
Earlier, in November, Layla had opened up to Us Weekly about her relationship with Mason, expressing her hesitance towards marriage due to past experiences, saying, “I’m kind of scared of marriage but I just want to get to know somebody very well before I even consider that.”
The couple’s relationship had previously drawn attention, as Mason is the brother of Layla’s ex-husband, Chase McWhorter. Layla humorously addressed the situation, stating, “It makes funny, awkward situations sometimes. But we just make light of it because there’s no avoiding it.”
As of December, key details of Layla’s divorce from former husband Clayton were finalized, with a Utah judge ruling that they would share joint legal and physical custody of their two children. Layla’s journey through this personal upheaval has been closely followed by fans, and her latest announcement is sure to resonate deeply.
Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for updates as Layla navigates this challenging chapter in her life. The emotional impact of this breakup highlights the complexities of relationships in the public eye, making it a significant moment for followers of her journey.
