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 Knew Each Other For Years Before They Started Dating
During the season, Layla Taylor found herself at the center of drama while planning her birthday party. 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 most of their connection developed off-camera. 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. Layla also shared that navigating co-parenting with her ex-husband, Clayton Wessel, had been challenging. She mentioned ongoing conflicts and felt that Clayton sometimes showed jealousy when she began dating again. Even with those complications, Layla expressed that her relationship with Mason felt refreshing, arriving at a moment in her life when she was emotionally ready to explore something new. With Mason, she seemed content, grounded, and optimistic about where things might lead.
Layla and Mason Are Enjoying Their Time Together as a Couple
Layla Taylor and Mason McWhorter made their relationship public in July 2025, and since then, they have consistently appeared side by side at various events and social gatherings. Their bond has only grown stronger. In a recent interview, Layla confirmed that they are still happily together, saying she is “having the most fun” and genuinely loving where the relationship is headed. She openly reflected on the brief period when she dated Mason’s brother, Chase, explaining that it happened at a time when she was freshly out of her divorce and exploring what dating felt like again. It was short-lived and light-hearted. Layla added that being with Mason makes far more sense for her now. They are close in age, share similar interests, and connect on a deeper level.
Laughing, she admitted that she picked the wrong brother the first time, but quickly clarified that she believes things unfolded exactly how they were meant to. Had she and Mason tried dating earlier, she said, the timing might not have aligned the way it does today. She emphasized that meeting him at this stage in her life feels perfect and that she wouldn’t change a thing. Layla has been openly affectionate when talking about Mason, saying, “We are still together. Things are going really great. I’m really happy. He’s just my best friend. I feel like me and him just get along really well. We have a lot of similarities and our relationship just feels very natural and not forced. I don’t have to pretend to be somebody that I’m not with him.”
She also addressed questions about marriage and clarified that it isn’t something the couple is actively planning at the moment. Layla explained that her past experience with marriage has made her more cautious, and it’s not a topic that weighs heavily on their mind. Instead, she and Mason are intentionally focusing on the present, choosing to enjoy where they are without pressure. She shared that she would be open to marriage someday, but only when it feels right. Layla has also mentioned how well-aligned she and Mason are when it comes to their faith. Mason is not an active member of the church, though he still identifies as Mormon, and Layla said this shared perspective has strengthened their connection. With their compatibility and the genuine joy they express in each other’s company, the couple seems to be in an especially happy and harmonious chapter of 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.
