Jason & Molly Mesnick Celebrate Their 12th Wedding Anniversary: ‘We’ve Never Been Happier!’
12 years down, a lifetime to go!
Marriage just seems to come easy for one of Bachelor Nation’s longest-running married couples, Jason and Molly Mesnick, who celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary on Sunday, February 27.
Molly posted an emotional message on Instagram, recalling a recent moment the two had shared when they realized just how happy they were.
“At dinner last night, we both agreed that we are literally in the best place of our lives. We’ve never been happier and more in sync than we are today. I don’t know if it is time - maybe aging/maturing - that got us to this place, but whatever it is, I hope it lasts forever! ILY @jasonmesnick #2.27.10.”

Many Bachelor Nation stars chimed in with congratulatory messages, including Catherine Lowe, who wrote, “Happy anniversary you two!” and first-ever “Bachelorette” Trista Sutter, who recalled, “Loved being there! Happy anniversary!”
As many Bachelor Nation fans know, Jason and Molly originally found love following a dramatic ending to “The Bachelor’s” 13th season in 2009 when Jason initially proposed to Melissa Rycroft after claiming to have fallen in love with her.
However, reality set in and Jason couldn’t seem to shake his true feelings for Molly, which he confessed to on television during “After the Final Rose,” and the two later reconciled.
Jason and Molly made their love official in a televised wedding ceremony on February 27, 2010, and are busy parenting their 8-year-old daughter Riley, as well as Jason’s teenage son, Ty, whom he shares with his former wife.
The couple has since opened up about the tense start to their love story during an appearance on “The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons – Ever!” in 2020.
Molly explained to former host Chris Harrison, “For us to be able to be on our own, away from the show, take our time, and date as a normal couple — we dated long-distance for 10 months before I moved out to [to be with Jason in] Seattle. It was perfect. It allowed us to just be regular.”
She was very understanding about the confusion that would likely stem from being on a national television show while Jason simultaneously dated 25 women, admitting that “it wasn’t something that wore on [her] all the time.”
“The minute we started dating again, I put that in the past and we moved forward,” she admitted.
Here’s to many more years of marital bliss!
