The moms of MomTok aren’t the only ones enjoying a new life of fame thanks to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Their moms (aka the grandmas of MomTok?) are stepping into the spotlight, too. Taylor Frankie Paul’s mom, Liann May, has had a big presence in season 2 of SLOMW. She’s been there for Taylor and her three kids as her daughter deals with MomTok drama and her on-again/off-again relationship with Dakota Mortensen. Taylor has also been really supportive of Liann throughout her plastic surgery journey.
That’s right. After SLOMW had taken off, Liann decided to go under the knife for a little refresher. “So my mom wanted to get a nose job and then got her whole face done,” Taylor explained on the show. “When I saw her post-surgery, I was like, ‘Mom, what did you do?’ She looked like she got hit by a bus. But she’s healing well, and if she feels great, great.”
But not everyone is happy about Liann’s transformation. Many “ignorant people” have been hopping on Liann’s Instagram to critique and accuse her of being jealous of Taylor. The trolls think Liann is simply trying to become her daughter, but Liann posted on IG, telling them to “get your facts straight.”
“I ❤️ Tay & my other kids more than life itself,” she wrote. “I would never be jealous of them. That’s ludicrous! I don’t have to want to look like my daughter, she looks like me! It’s called genetics!”
She went on to describe exactly the cosmetic work she had done. “I did get a nose job and [blepharoplasty], and not my whole face, but I wished I would have now, & paid with my OWN money, I don’t need Taylor’s.”
This lengthy caption was posted under a grid photo with dates attached to confirm the timeline. But don’t worry, I’ve also got you covered. Here are some before and after photos of Taylor Frankie Paul’s mom, Liann May’s plastic surgery.

We can travel back in time thanks to the power of Instagram, and Liann’s very first post is from 2021:
Liann also appeared in season 1 of SLOMW, which filmed in early 2024. Here’s a look at her then:
Liann definitely looks noticeably different now. SLOMW season 2 was filmed from October to December 2024, so not that long after the first season. Still, Liann was able to undergo a big transformation at that time.
Here’s Liann in a selfie from October 2024. The location tag is her plastic surgeon’s office, which is honestly such a flex.
And here’s Liann in a selfie from April 2025:
On May 9, Liann posted this photo with Taylor:
There’s no doubt about it: Liann May has gone through a major transformation over the years. And she’s open to sharing the details of her life with fans, which seems to be another trait that runs in the family.
