Molly Malaney News

Jason Mesnick couldn't bear the thought of guys fighting over Molly Malaney on The Bachelorette. Fortunately, he never had to shoulder that burden.

In a new interview, Jason says a week after his failed proposal to Melissa Rycroft on The Bachelor, ABC's producers started inquiring about Molly.

"They kept asking me if I thought Molly would be a good Bachelorette," he said. "I realized that I was not willing to have 25 guys fight over her."

Fortunately, Molly turned it down, and Jason got it right the second time, receiving a second chance and getting engaged to Molly last week.

The Bachelor's Molly and Jason got engaged earlier this month.

With the pair committed to marrying, the controversial ending of The Bachelor last season now looks like it was for the best. As for Melissa?

"Melissa is a great girl, but there wasn't any chemistry," Jason says.

Jason also adds that he and Melissa had already split in private, despite what the "After the Final Rose" special showed. But Molly wasn't aware.

The "After the Final Rose" taping that provided a less than ideal, but first possible opportunity to rekindle things with Molly and win her back.

The rest, as they say, is reality TV history.

Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney, his second but correct choice on last season's finale of The Bachelor, have gotten engaged, according to reports!

It's a familiar story but one worth repeating here:

On the show's "After the Final Rose" special, Jason had a change of heart, breaking up with Melissa Rycrof and asking Molly for a second chance.

She accepted and they've lived happily ever after (in different cities, taking it slow and out of the limelight) ever since that eventful March day.

Then last week on vacation, Jason got down on one knee in New Zealand, the same place The Bachelor season finale was filmed last winter.

She said yes. It's great to see that Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney are ready to take the next step and make their coupledom a legal affair.

Hopefully on TV for millions of people to see.

Ty Mesnick is getting a new stepmom!

Reports of Molly Malaney and Jason Mesnick dating and getting to know each other in the aftermath of their epic Bachelor season finale came as a relief for fans of the couple, who seemed glad to return to real life.

But according to one celebrity gossip site, things have slowly gone south between the two - and a breakup may happen as soon as this weekend.

Molly Malaney, 24, is said to be far less enamored of the single father than she once was, and is considering breaking up with him over Easter.

“The more she sees Jason, the less she likes him” a friend reveals.

If they did split, that would make The Bachelor 0-for-13.

Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney cozy up on TV.

The "friend" adds that Molly doesn’t trust Jason Mesnick after dumped Molly on the season finale, then won her back on the "After the Final Rose" special.

“Let’s face it, (Molly) was his second choice,” a second source says of runner-up Molly Malaney and Melissa Rycroft. “He has a history of being fickle.”

It's also rumored that Molly isn’t ready to relocate to Seattle.

“Jason expects her to quit her job and move,” the source says. “Molly’s not giving up her life unless she’s 100 percent sure that he’s committed.”

Right now, the relationship is shaky. The two talk almost every night on the computer, but she hasn’t gone to Seattle to visit Jason since March 3.

“It’s make-or-break time,” the friend explains.

In the month since they shocked the world by getting back together after The Bachelor, Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney are getting to know each other.

“Molly and I are happy,” Jason says.

The Bachelor lovebirds spent a few days this month spending time together sans cameras. Seattle-based Jason flew to see her in Milwaukee, where she lives.

They kept busy meeting her friends for drinks, taking romantic strolls along Lake Michigan, and, naturally, doing some “grilling out.”

“I’ve learned new terminology,” Jason Mesnick says, laughing at the Midwestern terminology for barbecuing. “It’s normal, right, to say ‘grilling out’?”

Molly Malaney has been doing some cooking for Jason, while he has been trying to tempt the meat-and-potatoes girl to try new foods at restaurants.

“She really has a hard time trying new things,” he says.

Then again, the dad says he has a hard time keeping to a schedule, something Molly is great at: “We pull each other in the right direction,” he says.

The biggest challenge, of course, is the. Molly hasn’t had a chance yet to fly to Seattle and spend any time with Jason’s four-year-old son, Ty.

“I’m headed out to Seattle in a couple of weeks,” she said. “I’m excited to just spend some time with Ty outside of the cameras and production.”

Monday night's stunning "After the Final Rose" special of The Bachelor, in which Jason Mesnick dumped Melissa Rycroft for runner-up Molly Malaney, has sparked outrage, big ratings and plenty of unanswered questions.

Did the producers know? Did they script this whole thing? Did Molly know what was coming? Did Melissa? Why did Jason pull the switch?

Jason Mesnick's short-lived engagement to Melissa Rycroft.

The Bachelor host Chris Harrison is speaking out about the finale in an attempt to clear up some of the rumors going around. Here are his thoughts ...

They were shocked: "When we left New Zealand, we were high-fiving, thinking this is great, 'People are going to love this guy and love the story.' I talked to Jason Mesnick when we got back, and things were going great. And then the next thing I hear, the producers are saying, 'He wants another shot with Molly.' And I just said, 'You've got to be kidding me!' We were all blown away."

This was not staged: "People think we wanted to pull this stunt, but we didn't!" This isn't good for us. I mean, the ratings were insane and all that, but we would have much rather had him end up with Melissa and have them get married. In the long run, that's a better story for us and for the fans."

Former Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants are slamming Jason Mesnick for dumping fiancee Melissa Rycroft for Molly Malaney on Monday's season finale.

On his Facebook page, Andy Baldwin wrote: "Andy is glad when he was the Bach. He was a man and didn't sell his soul and cave. Such a sellout."

Later, Baldwin posted another message re: the shocking Bachelor finale: "You do NOT break up on national television. That is the opposite of a gentleman."

Navy Lt. Andy Baldwin starred in The Bachelor: An Officer and a Gentleman in Season 10. He chose Tessa Horst but broke up with her a few months later.

Elsewhere, Trista Sutter - the only star to wed the person they chose on the show - was also shocked that Mesnick (who has a son, Ty, 4) would propose to one woman, introduce her to his child and then hook up with a new woman."

"How could you go from being engaged to someone, to kissing someone else on the couch?!" she fumed. "He doesn't deserve to walk away scot-free."

"What disappointed me as a mom is that he introduced both girls to Ty ... Melissa was around, and now she's gone. What is Ty going to think?"
