Captioning the clips, 'Saturday morning with [my] girlfriend,' and 'A morning with us,' the newly reunited couple documented their weekend together. 

Both of their posts featured footage of the couple in bed, brushing their teeth, working out and grocery shopping at Trader Joe's. 

Throughout the video, which racked up over 1.8 million views, Taylor and Dakota show off their united front as they kiss and walk hand-in-hand. 

They also revealed that the two were 'looking for houses' together.

In a follow-up video that showed the lovebirds getting ready to go to church, Dakota addressed the hate comments that surrounded his relationship with Taylor. 

He revealed that he is 'still with Taylor' and even responded to a comment that questioned what he saw in the soft-swinging Mormon.

'I really have no idea what you see in her,' said one social media user. 

However, Dakota was quick to come to Taylor's defense. While reading the comment, he spun his girlfriend around and boasted about her stunning looks.

And while her beau stood by her side, viewers were less than impressed with their relationship. 

Many viewers claimed both him and Taylor were 'red flags' and called their relationship 'toxic,' while adding that the mom-of-two should be 'working on herself for her babies.' 

On February 23, Taylor was taken into custody by cops after neighbors called the police because Taylor 'threw heavy metal chairs' at Dakota and 'put him in a chokehold.' 

She spent nine hours in custody before she was released.  

According to police records, the mom-of-two also threw her phone at her boyfriend, and made him 'fear for his life.' 

The altercation was caught on video, according to the documents, but that has not yet become public.

The court records say Dakota told Taylor to stop throwing things at him because he was next to her five-year-old daughter, Indy, but she continued.

Eventually, one of the chairs hit the five-year-old in the head and left her with a 'goose-egg' injury, the records claim.

It remains unclear what prompted the altercation. 

Taylor was charged with a felony count of aggravated assault and two felony counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child, along with one misdemeanor count each of child abuse and criminal mischief

She pled not guilty.

Later, Dakota told DailyMail.com that Taylor had been at a 'Galentine's Party' – a bonding event for women held around Valentine's Day, and he went to pick her up and drive her back to her house.

'I'm not even allowed to speak with her,' Dakota said. 'I really don't want to talk about it but I want to clarify a few things.

'I didn't call 911,' he added, saying he thinks a neighbor may have called.

Taylor's beau refused to reveal what happened after they arrived at the house.

'I'm going to wait for everything to come out before I speak on it,' he said.

But then he let slip, 'She never hurt anyone intentionally.' When pressed for specifics he said he didn't want to elaborate.

Dakota, a real estate agent and tiling company boss who has his own popular TikTok account where he discusses his recovery from drug addiction and alcoholism then added: 'We didn't argue.'

'I don't even want the truth to come out. She's so broken right now. I tried to help her,' he said. 'She's a good mom, she's going through a lot in her life right now. Taylor's been struggling, it's been a hard year for her. She is racked with guilt on her cheating scandal that cost her her marriage.'

Taylor had previously made headlines when she was at the center of TikTok's viral 'soft swinging' scandal - which resulted in her being dumped by her husband after she 'caught feelings' for another married man - and revealed that she lost all but one of her friends in the wake of the controversy.

Taylor blew up on the video-sharing platform when she claimed that her husband, Tate Paul, was divorcing her after she broke the rules in a swinging agreement that she and Tate had made with their pals.

While the friend group had allegedly decided to swap partners, they agreed not to 'go all the way' - something known as 'soft swinging' - and said that they would only 'mess around' when they were together.

But Taylor revealed at the time that she had 'stepped out of that agreement' and started to fall for one of her friend's partners - which ultimately ended her marriage.

Following her divorce, Taylor began a relationship with Dakota, and at one point, the two were even expecting a child together. 

However, seven weeks after learning that she was pregnant, Taylor suffered an ectopic pregnancy.

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg grows outside of the uterus. They occur in a fallopian tube more than 90 percent of the time, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, but they can also implant in the abdomen, cervix, ovary, and cesarean scar.

Ectopic pregnancies are not viable and need to be terminated, as they can become life-threatening and require urgent surgery if the area of implantation ruptures.

In December 2022, Taylor wrote to her followers, calling 2022 the 'sh***iest year of my entire life.

'From rough marriage, to swinging, to divorce, to major loss of some family, best friends, my kids part time, trying to be in another relationship but can't let myself be happy, to ectopic pregnancy to deep depression.

'Meanwhile millions of people watched it all and gave their lovey opinions,' she added.

But she did say she was hoping for a better New Year. '23 is my number so I'm thinking next year is my year.'

Taylor introduced Dakota on TikTok last July while still in the middle of her divorce. 

Their whirlwind romance lasted six months before she announced they split up after the pregnancy.

But their separation didn't last long, on January 14 they appeared together in a short TikTok video called 'Guess we don't know any better.'

Dakota said he thinks the arrest was a 'rock bottom' moment for Taylor and she'll only get stronger from it.

'She needs help, she hasn't had time to process the ending of her marriage. She's having a hard time forgiving herself for the swinging scandal. And then she had an ectopic pregnancy.

'I love Taylor very much and want to have a future with her,' he added.

He continued: 'We'll just have to let it go through the system and see how it pans out. I have no idea when I'll be able to see or talk to Taylor again. It could be days, weeks or months.'
