“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Layla Taylor is dating Kelsie Chesser.

The reality TV star confirmed their relationship status when Chesser shared a TikTok video on Tuesday, which she captioned, “When I slid into my girlfriend’s DMs just hoping she was into girls.”

Chesser, who sang along to Beyoncé’s “Partition” in the video, further captioned the post, “Thankful she was 🙂‍↕️ #wlw #girlfriend.”

However, the confirmation came when Taylor chimed in the comment section, simply writing, “Folded.”

She captioned the soft-launch video, “‘You’re glowing recently,’ thanks, I’m dating a woman now.

“Chivalry isn’t dead it’s [with] the lesbians.”

She gushed about her girlfriend in the podcast, stating how “emotionally aware” and “very patient” she was.

“She’s just been very understanding and letting me take this at my own pace because it is just still foreign to me and it is so new. [It’s the] level of understanding and just being there for me,” Taylor continued.
