Relationships lie at the heart of Hulu’s ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,’ and this is especially true for Layla Taylor, who had been single for a while and only briefly dated in the past. In Season 3, she stepped further into the spotlight as her growing relationship with Mason McWhorter became more visible. Although the two did not spend much time together on camera, Layla openly shared with her friends that she felt comfortable and happy with Mason. Despite some complicated history between them, she appeared confident in exploring the relationship and speaking about it candidly.
Layla and Mason Had to Face Some Real Problems in Their Relationship
Layla Taylor found herself at the center of drama while planning her birthday party in 2025. She considered inviting Chase McWhorter, Miranda McWhorter’s ex-husband and someone she briefly dated in season 1. The issue was that many in her friend group were uncomfortable with Chase because he had spoken negatively about them in the past. Layla explained that her interest in inviting him had little to do with rekindling anything and more to do with her curiosity about his brother, Mason McWhorter, whom she found attractive. At the party, Layla and Mason shared a few light conversations, but it slowly built into something more. Over time, Layla began seeing him more seriously and eventually introduced Mason to her friends as someone she was dating.
She appeared genuinely happy, and despite the complicated history, particularly the fact that she had once dated his brother, the situation didn’t create the tension some might have expected. Her friends were supportive, appreciating that Layla was finally putting herself back into the dating world with a sense of openness and confidence. While the relaitonhip was fun and exciting for her, things slowly changed. In season 4, when they were out on a date, Layla felt that Mason grew quickly annoyed with her kids. She questioned if she could rely on him as a partner or if he was ready for the extra responsibility. While Mason said he was happy to spend time with them once in a while, being in any guardian role to them was not what he wanted. With these questions lingering, the couple did not know what lay ahead of them.
Layla and Mason Have Ended Their Relationship
Layla Taylor and Mason McWhorter made their relationship public in July 2025, and they consistently appeared side by side at various events and social gatherings. However, things did not stay the same. Although Layla and Mason were seen together in New York in January 2026, she confirmed in February 2026 that they were no longer together. Addressing rumors about the two unfollowing each other on social media, Layla shared a video explaining that they had decided to go their separate ways and that there was initially no ill will or bad blood between them. She said Mason felt that she needed time on her own to grow, and that was something she was trying to respect. While she appeared emotional and tearful in the video, she admitted she was heartbroken to see the relationship end but insisted there was no drama between them.
However, the tone shifted shortly afterward when she posted, “I take back there being ‘no bad blood,’ All while texting me he missed me the same morning and couldn’t stop crying…glad growing is off to a great start.” Although she did not mention Mason by name, many believed the message was directed at him. She did not provide further details, but it seemed something had happened behind the scenes. Her friend Asar was seen supporting her during this time, and since then, both Layla and Mason have kept their distance and have not shared any new updates about their relationship.
Layla and Mason Have Taken Some Fun Trips Together
Mason McWhorter works in the fitness space and, like Layla Taylor, is based in Utah, which has made it easy for the two to align their routines and spend a lot of time together. Since getting together, they’ve been inseparable, traveling, meeting friends, and sharing new experiences. In August 2025, the couple took a memorable trip to London, and a few months later, in November 2025, they spent time in New York City. They stayed in a nice hotel, explored the city, and made the most of the trip. Mason was especially excited to celebrate his 25th birthday with Layla by his side, and he introduced her to some of his close friends during the celebration.
Layla, too, has openly welcomed Mason into her world. It appears that her kids, Ollie and Maxwell, have spent time around him, and Layla has included him in fun outings with her close circle. One of their recent adventures included Layla, Miranda, and Mason going on a roller-coaster trip together, something Layla shared as a sign of how naturally Mason fits into her life. The couple doesn’t shy away from being affectionate in public, and even though Layla’s reality-TV status inevitably brings curiosity and attention, neither of them seems interested in hiding their relationship. Their social media posts, shared travel moments, and the ease with which they integrate into each other’s families and friendships all show that their relationship is something they take seriously.
