Miranda married Chase McWhorter in May 2017 after a year of dating. The couple welcomed their son, Brooks, in 2019, followed by their daughter, Cohen, in 2021.

Unfortunately, Miranda announced in August 2024 that she and Chase had divorced after seven years of marriage.

She opened up about her current relationship status ahead of the season 2 premiere of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives in May 2025. “I’m single, but I don’t know that I would say I’m dating,” she told People.

Miranda McWhorter Went Viral For ‘Soft Swinging’ Scandal

In 2022, Miranda and Chase went viral after Taylor went public about her and her husband, Tate Paul, being involved in “soft swinging” within their close-knit friend group. The arrangement involved consensual partner swapping, though not all interactions were sexual as later members of the group accused Chase and Taylor of having feelings for each other.

“Well the thing is, like, the height of what I was ever involved in was like playing spin the bottle and like kissing other people,” Miranda told viewers during episode 2 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2. “So it was very jarring for me for Taylor to come out and say like everyone was hooking up with everyone because that was simply not the case at all. No one had sex ever. Period. I will go to my grave.”

Fans learned more about Taylor and Miranda’s friendship fallout during episode 2, where Taylor explained she felt “very left” by her friend during the scandal and confirmed that she “never liked Chase a day” in her life.

“Chase came to me at the gym and told me that he had feelings for me, and basically, that was him, like, trying to open a door,” Taylor recalled, adding that she said the feelings weren’t mutual.

Meanwhile, Miranda was hurt that Taylor discussed the situation with everyone in their friend group except her.

“It was the hardest ’cause it was also, I mean, I was like four months postpartum,” Miranda said through tears. “And then I was also, like … I lost my best friend, dude.”

Taylor said she completely understood where Miranda was coming from and admitted she should have told her about the conversation with her then-husband right away.

As for the other women in the group, Mayci Neeley was vocal about why the scandal tore the friends apart.

“Miranda, she was a swinger. She was very much involved in the whole situation, but Miranda and Chase, her husband, during the time denied everything and tried to make Taylor look like a villain. And so that’s why I feel like we all have a hard time with Miranda,” Mayci said in a confessional during episode 2. “I definitely think Miranda sees how well MomTok is doing, and now she’s just coming on back, even though she doesn’t talk to any of us for, like, two and a half years. It doesn’t feel like the intention’s pure.”
