Has Taylor Frankie Paul had her baby? Influencer mum and boyfriend Dakota Mortensen share update on baby boy

TikTok influencer Taylor Frankie Paul has given birth of her third child, a baby boy.

Paul had been regularly keeping her 351,000 Instagram followers and 4 million TikTok followers updated throughout her pregnancy, and revealed that her due date was in March, so fans had been eagerly awating news of the birth.

Now, she has thrilled her followers by annoucing the safe arrival of the baby boy, who has been called Ever.

Paul, aged 29, first shared the happy news of her pregnancy back in September by posting a video of her baby scan appointment to her TikTok page, and a series of photos which appear to be from a pregnancy photo shoot to her Instagram page.

The pregnancy reveal came just under a year after the somewhat controversial star announced she and boyfriend Dakota Mortensen had lost a baby through an ectopic pregnancy, and also just weeks after she pleaded guilty to an aggravated assault charge after she allegedly threw a chair at Mortensen in an incident which took place earlier in 2023.

Paul is already a mum to daughter Indy, aged six, and three-year-old son Ocean, who she shares with ex-husband Tate Paul. Ever is Mortensen’s first. Paul and Mortensen, 30, have had an on/off relationship since they began dating in the summer of 2022, months after Paul’s marriage ended, allegedly because she broke the rules in a swinging agreement that they had made with their friends.

Paul had been updating both her social media pages on an almost daily basis in recent days as her due date obviously approaches, so when she had not posted for a few days fans began to suspect she had welcomed her baby.

Paul and beau Mortensen confirmed the news on their social media accounts earlier today (Thursday March 21). So, what exactly did each of them say about their new baby boy? Here's what you need to know.
