The reason why then-host Chris Harrison started regarding The Bachelor because the “maximum dramatic” display on TV most certainly has slightly one thing to do with Jason Mesnick and Molly Mesnick (née Malaney).

Jason, a then-single father from Seattle, first gave the impression on season 4 of The Bachelorette in 2008. While he was ready to get down on one knee all through the season finale, DeAnna Pappas rejected him and authorised an offer from Jesse Csincsak. (The twosome referred to as it quits in November 2008.)

The account govt, who stocks son Ty with ex-wife Hilary Buckholz, went on to be named the lead for season Thirteen of The Bachelor, which premiered in January 2009. While he initially picked Melissa Rycroft to be his wife, Jason modified his mind after proposing. The show then moved up the generally live After the Final Rose taping so Jason could break up with Melissa and tell Molly, the runner-up, he sought after to be with her.

After the drama opened up onscreen in March 2009, Jason proposed to Molly that October.

“Melissa is a great lady, but there wasn’t any chemistry,” he informed Us Weekly on the time. “So I broke up along with her after Christmas, about a month after we wrapped. Obviously, I didn’t want all of it on TV, but I needed to take the danger if it supposed getting [Molly] again. I’d relatively have picked up the phone, accept as true with me!”

Jason and Molly wed in 2010 and share daughter Riley. Scroll via to revisit their love story:
