Timing is everything, and the timing of “Mormon Wives” star Layla Taylor’s Instagram Story couldn’t be any more intriguing. She recently shared an Instagram Story that might have some fans wondering if she’s trying to leave Utah and possibly even be part of the new reality show spinoff that is set to film in California.
The speculation follows a slightly cryptic post she shared about possibly house hunting in Los Angeles, coming on the heels of a whirlwind week of “Mormon Wives” news.
While she hasn’t confirmed any of the speculation, we do have an answer as to why she was visiting the LA area, or at least one reason she was, and it has nothing to do with the show, recent headlines, or the spinoff series.
Layla Taylor Teases Looking At Houses In California In The Midst Of ‘Mormon Wives’ Chaos
On Wednesday evening, Layla shared a photo to her Instagram Story that might have some wondering if she’s seriously trying to leave the ongoing Utah drama in her rearview.
“May or may not have looked at some houses today,” she wrote, tagging her location as Los Angeles, California. Many fans already know that there’s a “Mormon Wives” spinoff being planned that will film in Orange County, making some wonder if perhaps she will be part of that series.
A source recently told PEOPLE that the spinoff will feature original cast member Jen Affleck alongside nine new castmates. So while it’s not clear if Layla will be part of that show, being in LA might make some hopeful that she will be in some capacity.
But a little online digging shows what Layla was doing while in Los Angeles, and it has nothing to do with reality TV.
Layla Taylor Recently Had Surgery With Viral TikTok Plastic Surgeon In Beverly Hills
Dr. Daniel Barrett, a well-known plastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills, has quite the following on social media, with more than 2.6 million followers on TikTok and 1.1 million on Instagram.
While Layla hasn’t posted on her social media about her recent surgery, Barrett has.
“Layla Taylor from ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ came to see me for a breast implant revision after feeling like her implants just didn’t fit her body anymore,” Barrett shared in an Instagram post. “When Layla first had them done at a different practice, going bigger made sense for her height. But over time she realized the size felt like too much for her frame and lifestyle. She told me she’d actually been thinking about redoing them almost since the day she got them.”
The Goal Was Not To ‘Go Bigger’
His caption goes on to explain that Layla, a mom of two, found finding clothes that fit her was the “biggest frustration.” He also shared that her goal was not to “go bigger.”
“It was to create something that felt more balanced, proportional, and natural for her body,” the caption continued. “Breast implant revision is more common than people think. Bodies change, lifestyles change, and sometimes what once felt right just doesn’t anymore.”
He concluded his caption by sharing, “Layla also shared something that stuck with me – as moms, you give so much of your body to your kids through pregnancy, nursing, and raising them. Wanting to feel confidence and comfortable in your own body again is completely valid.”
Dr. Barrett’s Instagram Stories Show Layla Taylor Was In LA For A Follow Up Visit
In a series of recently shared Instagram Stories on Dr. Barrett’s page, Layla’s two-week post-op visit is shared with viewers.
“We went down on the implant size. We went from 355 down to 250. We went down on the profile; it was moderate plus profile, we went down to moderate profile,” Barrett shared. “This, at a two-week result, is absolutely phenomenal.”
Layla shared that she feels “so much better, so confident.” She also said, “I feel so much lighter and my posture is better.”
When asked about the process, Layla told Barrett that he made the process “so easy” and shared that if anyone is thinking about having breast surgery, they should, “just do it.”
“Honestly, I love the results already. I’m obsessed,” she said. “I feel like I feel confidence I haven’t felt in a really long time. I feel like I’m healing really good, too, for only being two weeks post op.”
Layla Taylor Recently Shared Her Struggle With An Eating Disorder And GLP-1 Addiction
During season 4 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” Layla opens up about her struggle with an eating disorder, as well as her addition to GLP-1s. Layla admitted that she had been struggling with an eating disorder since high school, and added that she’s been using GLP-1s.
“I know that it’s going too far, and I’m taking it too far, but I can’t stop,” she admitted.
She revealed that she started to use GLP-1s after being rejected for a modeling job and has been using the weight loss meds for about a year.
“Getting rejected by a modeling agency, like that means there’s something wrong with me that they didn’t choose me,” she said on the show. “So, I feel I’ve been like, the last couple of days, I’ve really been struggling so hard with confidence that I’m like, ‘I weigh too much or my face isn’t symmetrical.”
She also shared that “people don’t talk about how addictive this is and how hard it is to get off.”
