Mormon Wives’ Layla Discusses Toxic Coparenting and Mason Romance

Layla Taylor, a star of El-Balad’s hit series *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives*, recently shared her thoughts on navigating her complex romantic life and coparenting challenges. At just 24 years old, Layla is balancing her relationship with Mason McWhorter while dealing with tensions from her past marriage to Clayton Wessel.

Mason McWhorter and Coparenting Challenges

In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Layla admitted that her previous marriage still affects her feelings about commitment. “Marriage scares me right now,” she said, reflecting on her past experiences. She continues to manage a “toxic coparenting relationship” with Wessel, which complicates her life.

Love Life and Family Dynamics

Layla is currently dating Mason McWhorter, who is the brother of her ex, Chase McWhorter. Although their relationship may raise eyebrows, Layla explained, “You just have to make lemonade and it is what it is.” In season 3 of the show, viewers see how their relationship has been blossoming. “We are still together. Things are going really great. I’m really happy,” she added.

• Layla has two sons, Ollie, 4, and Maxwell, 3.
• She and their father have agreed to keep the children out of the reality show spotlight.
• They share concerns about public exposure and its potential impact on their kids.

Moving Forward After Marriage

Layla expressed a desire to take her relationship with Mason day by day. “I just want to get to know somebody very well before I even consider” marriage. This careful approach aligns with her experiences of dissatisfaction in her past marriage.

She also highlighted that both her and Mason’s views on faith have changed, noting their shared backgrounds in the Mormon Church, from which they have distanced themselves. “Luckily for me, he is not active anymore,” she affirmed.

Personal Growth and Authenticity

With the new season, Layla aimed to be more vocal and genuine, contrasting with her earlier reserved behavior. “I feel like I definitely portrayed that really well this season,” she emphasized. Her journey reflects both personal growth and her efforts to overcome past difficulties.

As *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives* continues to attract viewers, Layla’s candid approach to love, family, and coparenting challenges remains a focal point. The series, streaming on El-Balad, highlights not only the drama of reality television but the real-life struggles faced by its cast.
