Molly Malaney

Molly Malaney was one of the final-two contestants on the thirteenth season of the reality series The Bachelor. Bachelor Jason Mesnick rejected Malaney on the last episode of the program. After the taping of the show, Mesnick broke up with his first choice (Rycroft) and reunited with Malaney.

In late April of 2009, reports surfaced from US Weekly that the couple were broken up. Molly Malaney denied those reports, as she had just flown out to see him. AirTran is giving her free flights to go back and forth from her home in Michigan to see Mesnick in Washington state.reality blurred: Molly and Jason Still Dating... (April 21, 2009)

Earlier spoiler reports indicated that the winner of the Bachelor wore a pinkie ring during the proposal. Melissa wore a pinkie ring on her left hand throughout the series, so it has been assumed that she was the one who was chosen. In the finale preview, Molly is seen wearing a pinkie ring on her right hand. The original video shows the ring is actually on the right hand, not the left, and may actually indicate that it was Molly Malaney and not Melissa Rycroft who was chosen.Examiner.com: ...Read My Pinkie Ring Theory...

The Bachelor is a reality television show about women who meet and date a single male. Each week the bachelor invites the ladies, in which he is interested, to stay by giving them a rose, during a portion of the program called the "Rose Ceremony." The women who do not receive a flower are sent home.

Jason Mesnick became the thirteenth bachelor, after being rejected by DeAnna Pappas on the fourth season of The Bachelorette. Mesnick was down on one knee and ready to propose marriage to her, when Pappas stopped him. She chose to become engaged to snowboarder Jesse Csincsak, but has since broken off the engagement.

Mesnick is a single father of a son named Ty, and lives in Kirkland, Washington.
