Jason Mesnick and his wife Molly celebrate 11 years of marriage … more than a decade after THAT wild bachelor change
He was reviled after dropping his final choice of rose on television, only to ask for a second chance with his runner-up.
But more than a decade later, The Bachelor’s vet Jason Mesnick and his wife Molly are still going strong.
The couple recently celebrated 11 years of marriage, and Molly, 37, spoke about her other half, 44, in a sweet tribute to Instagram marking the landmark event on Saturday.
‘Cheers at 11, my love!’ Molly Mesnick celebrated her 11th birthday with her husband Jason Mesnick on Instagram on Saturday
’11 YEARS, ‘Molly started in the caption. ‘I don’t know how you do it, @jasonmesnick … I’m severely type A, my mood changes like the wind, and I’m more tense than {insert whatever is curled}.
‘Basically, I’m a big pain in the ass and you’ve been putting up with me every day for 11 consecutive years. You are a saint.
– I count my lucky stars every day, knowing that you are mine. There is not enough space or time to describe all the wonderful things about you! You are perfect (… almost perfect, you just need to learn how to put the dishwasher better).
‘Cheers at 11, my love!’
Not a good look: Mesnick was reviled after asking him to play Melissa Rycroft on television
The photo the reality show star posted was of the couple standing on a baseball field, holding hands while Molly nestled her head on his shoulder.
Jason sparked controversy when he asked Molly for a second chance at The Bachelor in 2010.
The reality show star originally asked for Melissa Rycroft’s hand in marriage, but as their relationship progressed off-camera, Jason changed his mind.

Jason subsequently ended his relationship with Melissa on camera and asked Molly for a second chance soon after.
Reflecting on the controversial exchange, Molly said she was able to move on with the initial eviction, since it rekindled things with Jason.
‘I understand that maybe it could have been a little confusing. So it wasn’t something that bothered me all the time, it was like “Oh my God, why did he choose her and not me?” The minute we started dating again, I put that in the past and moved on, ‘she said in The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever!
– That’s not what she tells me when the cameras are off, no way! Jason added.
Jason and Molly were married in 2010 and share seven-year-old daughter Riley Anne Mesnick, as well as Jason’s son from his first marriage, Tyler.
