Well, well, well, look who’s finally putting the secret in Secret Lives of Mormon Wives to rest (as if we didn’t see this coming). A certain someone and his new leading lady, the always captivating icon in question, were caught getting super cozy during a recent baseball game. The couple clearly didn’t hold back as they strutted their affection at The Ballpark at America First Square in South Jordan, Utah. Swoon or gag, you decide.
Rumor has it Dakota and Shinia were practically glued together, with her legs draped over him while they pretended to enjoy the thrilling action of the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees. Yes, you read that right—nothing says romance like cuddling on the outfield lawn while watching a minor league game, right? According to witnesses (who are probably living for this drama), they weren’t even trying to play coy, just serving up some serious couple vibes while chatting and chuckling like they’re in a rom-com.
This sizzling outing follows the dramatic revelation by yours truly (that’s TMZ, darling) that Dakota and Shinia are, surprise, officially dating! They allegedly started this romantic escapade a few months back, but don’t get it twisted—they’re not exclusive yet. However, insiders spill that Shinia has been a steady source of support for him through all his messy drama (hello, exes and custody battles!). Let’s not forget Dakota shares a 2-year-old son with his ex, while Shinia juggles a 6-year-old daughter and a 4-year-old son. Because who doesn’t want a side of chaos with their romance?
And let’s just say, we first caught a whiff of this drama on Season 4 of the show when their past hookup led to some major #MomTok fallout — because nothing screams modern romance like tangled custody issues.
So, is this a cute couple moment or just more publicity for the hit show? Either way, we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more sizzle (and potential meltdowns).
