Paul’s two children are regularly featured on her TikTok where she has amassed more than 4 million followers. She went viral last year when she strayed from the Mormom mom’s influencer script and spoke to her then-husband Tate Paul about her “soft swinging” lifestyle. She also revealed that she “stepped out of that agreement” she had with her husband, leading to their divorce and sparking speculation as to whether other TikTok-famous Utah influencers may have been involved.
Since then, Paul’s content has included her reflecting on the drama, opening up about co-parenting and, more recently, documenting her relationship with Dakota Mortensen. In January, she detailed the depression and anxiety she was experiencing following an ectopic pregnancy and also thanked her followers for their support.
“I shared my life when it fell apart and now I will share it as I put it back together,” she wrote in the caption.
Police declined to give further details about the allegations or the condition of their child. Prosecutors did not immediately respond to questions about the status of their review of the case. A rep for Paul also didn’t immediately respond to BuzzFeed News.
“MS. Paul’s status as a social media influencer has no bearing or impact on the investigation or outcome of this case,” police said in the statement.
