Jason Mesnick and wife Molly celebrate 11 years of marriage… over a decade after THAT wild Bachelor switch-up
He was vilified after dumping his final rose choice on television, only to ask for a second chance with his runner-up.
But over a decade later, The Bachelor vet Jason Mesnick and his wife Molly are still going strong.
The couple recently celebrated 11 years of marriage, and Molly, 37, gushed about her other half, 44, in a sweet Instagram tribute marking the milestone event on Saturday.
‘Cheers to 11 years, my love!’ Molly Mesnick celebrated her 11th anniversary with husband Jason Mesnick on Instagram on Saturday
’11 YEARS,’ Molly began in the caption. ‘I don’t know how you do it @jasonmesnick… I am severely type A, my mood changes like the wind, and I am wound up tighter than a {insert whatever is wound up tight}.
‘Basically, I’m a huge pain in the ass and you have put up with me every single day for 11 years straight. You’re a saint.
‘I count my lucky stars every d**n day, knowing you’re mine. There isn’t enough space or time to even describe all of the wonderful things about you! You’re perfect (…near perfect, you just need to learn how to load the dishwasher better).
‘Cheers to 11 years, my love!’
Not a good look: Mesnick was vilified after asking dumping Melissa Rycroft on television
The photo the reality star posted was one of the couple standing on a baseball field, holding hands as Molly nestled her head upon his shoulder.
Jason sparked controversy when he asked Molly for a second chance on The Bachelor in 2010.
The reality star had originally asked for Melissa Rycroft’s hand in marriage, but as their relationship progressed off-camera, Jason had a change of heart.

Jason subsequently ended the relationship with Melissa on camera, and asked Molly for a second shot shortly thereafter.
Reflecting on the controversial switch-up, Molly said she was able to move on from the initial dumping once rekindling things with Jason.
‘I understand that maybe it could have been a little confusing. So it wasn’t something that wore on me all the time, that was like “Oh my gosh, why did he chose her and not me?” The minute we started kind of dating again, I put that in the past and we moved forward,’ she said on The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever!
‘That is not what she says to me when the cameras are off, not at all!’ Jason added.
Jason and Molly tied the knot in 2010 and share daughter Riley Anne Mesnick, seven, in addition to Jason’s son from his first marriage, Tyler.
