Taylor Frankie Paul’s ex Dakota Mortensen scolded by judge for son, 2, riding motorcycle

Dakota Mortensen was scolded by a judge for driving his and Taylor Frankie Paul’s 2-year-old son, Ever, on a motorcycle.
During Wednesday’s custody hearing, the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” stars’ attorneys discussed an image of Mortensen, 33, and the toddler.
“We’re not gonna do motorcycles anymore,” Commissioner Russell Minas told Mortensen, advising the little one to ride on “nothing with anything less than four wheels.”
Mortense’s attorney replied, “The kid had a helmet. It is an e-bike. [It went] a short distance, a helmet was provided. In fact, the helmet is in the exhibit picture which is why it’s strange Taylor insisted [it wasn’t].”
The judge cut the lawyer off, asking, “The child is how old? 2?”
He doubled down, saying, “Not with a 2-year-old. Maybe with a 12-year-old. But even then. There’s no point, in my view. Basic safety, we generally require car seat or age-appropriate child restraints.”
Mortensen’s legal team confirmed the reality star would “do that moving forward.”
A source claimed to People on Wednesday that Mortensen “never rode far” with Ever.
An insider close to Paul, meanwhile, told the outlet the MomTok star, 32, was “happy” to have her parenting time expanded at the hearing.
Paul, notably, was granted Monday mornings with Ever on top of the alternating weekends she was given in June, as well as the single weekday visit.
The influencer is “look[ing] forward to continuing to make progress at the next hearing.”
Reps for Paul and Mortensen did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
The duo, whose on-again, off-again relationship began in 2022, have been engaged in a messy custody battle for months.
Mortensen was given temporary sole custody of Ever in March after accusing Paul of domestic violence — an investigation which, notably, led to prosecutors declining to press charges.
That same month, footage of the couple’s 2023 fight that led to Paul’s arrest resurfaced and her “Bachelorette” season was cancelled.
The Hulu personalities have each filed for protective orders against each other, which were mutually granted in April.
Taylor’s ex-husband, Tate Paul, filed for a restraining order against her earlier this month — but the request was denied.
The former couple, who were married between 2016 and 2022, share daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5.
Without naming names, Taylor implied Tate had “teamed up” with Mortensen to teach her a “lesson” via Instagram last week.
The judge reminded Taylor and Mortensen during Wednesday’s hearing not to speak ill of each other on social media.

Justin Baldoni breaks silence on shocking Blake Lively settlement

Justin Baldoni is speaking out after settling his long legal battle with Blake Lively.
In a video the “Jane the Virgin” alum posted to Instagram Wednesday, his wife, Emily, said they were feeling “immense gratitude” for those who supported them since Lively first came forward with allegations against her “It Ends With Us” director and co-star in December 2024.
Justin, 42, noted, “Gratitude has saved us.”
That said, Emily explained that any thankfulness they have for support “doesn’t negate the injustice and the pain” they’ve felt over the past few years.
“We’ve had to wrestle with so many things and try to understand so many things, like how can something happen like this even happen — let alone disguised as a fight for women,” she said, acknowledging “there’s been a lot of trauma” for them to “move through as a family.”
The father of two explained why they waited so long to speak out.
“There have been so many painful things spoken into existence over the last couple years,” Justin said as his wife interjected, “Untruthful.”
“And that created so much noise, and we didn’t want to add to the noise,” he continued. “So we just wanted to let the justice system run its course.”
Emily chimed in, “And the truth and facts have spoken for themselves, and here we are.”
Justin said they are “healing” after going through a “traumatic” experience and expressed appreciation for fans who vocally supported them when they couldn’t speak for themselves.
“Thank you does not feel like enough,” he noted.
Justin and Lively, 38, settled their intense court battle stemming from their 2024 film “It Ends With Us” on May 4 — just two weeks before their trial was scheduled to begin.
The settlement came a month after a judge threw out 10 out of 13 of Lively’s claims, including her claim that Justin sexually harassed her.
In a joint statement to Page Six about their settlement, the two noted, “The end product — the movie ‘It Ends With Us’ — is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life. Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors — and all survivors — is a goal that we stand behind.”
They continued, “We acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms. Lively deserved to be heard.”
Both parties added that they “remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments” and it is their “sincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online.”
Page Six confirmed that neither Lively nor Justin earned any money in their settlement.
However, both Lively and Justin’s legal teams made $60 million combined to sue and countersue one another, sources told Page Six Hollywood.
Just hours after the settlement, Lively attended the 2026 Met Gala, where she posed on the red carpet in a pastel archival Versace gown from 2006. A day later, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, also shared a carefree selfie of the two.
Justin also appeared unbothered after news of the settlement broke.
He and Emily were spotted in good spirits earlier this month in Nashville, Tennessee. The two held hands while visiting local eatery the Little Rad Market in exclusive pics obtained by Page Six.
In recent weeks, Lively demanded Justin pay more than $8 million in legal fees and spent time with her family in Upstate New York while former best friend Taylor Swift married Travis Kelce in a star-studded wedding at Madison Square Garden.
A source told Page Six that Swift believes “their friendship is done” after the pop star was dragged into Lively’s legal battle with Justin.

Why Charles Barkley declined invitation to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding

Charles Barkley revealed that he turned down an invitation to attend Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s New York City wedding.
“I don’t go to weddings and funerals,” the NBA legend said on the “Unfiltered With Ricky Bo & Bill Colarulo” podcast Tuesday.
“I did get an invite, and I politely declined. Because I thought it was gonna be a crap show,” he added.
“I love Travis and Jason [Kelce]. I’ve only met Taylor one time. But yeah, I did get an invite but I said, ‘Hey, that’s just too much,’” Barkley, 63, shared.
The “Inside the NBA” host said he just wants to “hang out and play golf” in his spare time.
“I don’t wanna dress up and all that other stuff,” he said. “But I appreciate the invitation; it was pretty special.”
Barkley isn’t the only celebrity who opted to skip the Kansas City Chiefs star and the “Bad Blood” singer’s big day.
On Monday, Ryan Seacrest revealed that he actually confirmed to attend the ceremony and didn’t go.
“I RSVP’d to go, and then Disney hired me to do the Fourth of July 250 special on the 3rd and the 4th,” the “American Idol” host explained on his radio show. “So, I had to cancel.”
Seacrest, 51, said he felt “kind of torn” about the decision but “couldn’t have done both” due to the scheduling.
The “Shrek Forever After” voice actor said though he was “so honored and thrilled to be invited,” he “had no choice” but to skip the nuptials since “it’s part of [his] job at Disney to do these things.”
Swift and Kelce, both 36, exchanged 20-minute vows in front of more than an estimated 1,000 guests at Madison Square Garden last Friday.
The wedding was officiated by comedian Adam Sandler and featured a garden theme.
The pop star and the tight end wore Christian Dior Haute Couture to say “I do” and Swift reportedly walked down the aisle to her 2008 hit song “Love Story.”
Guests won lavish prizes during the reception, including designer bags and Cartier watches.

Bunnie Xo, 46, spotted making out with 24-year-old reality star at estranged husband Jelly Roll’s bar

Bunnie Xo has moved on from her split from Jelly Roll with a much younger man.
The “Dumb Blonde” podcast host, 46, was spotted making out with “Calabasas Confidential” star Dylan Wolf, 24, on the Fourth of July in video obtained by TMZ. Interestingly enough, the pair was kissing at her estranged husband’s bar — Jelly Roll’s Goodnight Nashville, in Nashville, Tennessee.
In the video, Bunnie and Wolf lock lips while sitting beside each other at the bar, as lights flash blue around them. According to the outlet, the two were hanging out at the rooftop’s VIP section.
On Monday, Wolf posted a cryptic TikTok video with Bunnie, writing, “@everyone thinking they’re connecting the dots” over it.
“Undeleted Pod coming soon @Bunnie Xo,” he captioned the video.
Wolf wears the same black cap reading “I love a girl from Malibu” in the TikTok video that he wears in TMZ’s video of him kissing Bunnie.
Meanwhile, fans noted that Bunnie has appeared to take down her podcast episode last month in which she talked about her surprising split from Jelly Roll, 41, after more than a decade together. The podcast is no longer available to view, though she’s made no mention of deleting it.
Wolf stars in Netflix’s new reality series, “Calabasas Confidential,” which follows children of the elite who live in the high-profile zip code. He was previously linked to Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin’s 28-year-old daughter, model Delilah Belle Hamlin. They were snapped holding hands in Los Angeles last November.
He told Decider in May that the two were no longer dating.
“She’s a lovely lady. That kind of just happened out of the blue over the summer, as well,” he said “We’re no longer tied together. That was just kind of short-lived. But it was great, and all the best to her and her family. They’re lovely people.”
Meanwhile, Jelly Roll filed for divorce from Bunnie in May, in Williamson County, Tennessee. Bunnie said her estranged husband was already dating again in her podcast episode last month about their split.
“He is ready — raring and ready to go,” she shared. “He’s all hopped up on testosterone, let me tell you. He’s even started dating.”
She said her ex had her full support when it comes to seeing other women.
“His DMs are open,” she told her listeners.
A source previously told Page Six that the two split due to their changing lifestyles.
“Some people around them felt there was growing tension as Jelly embraced a more faith-centered lifestyle while Bunnie continued building the outspoken and provocative brand that had always been authentic to her,” a source exclusively told us.
“Whether that’s fair or not, it became increasingly difficult to reconcile those two worlds.”
