Melissa Rycroft had arguably one of the most shocking Bachelor finales in the franchise’s history.

Melissa, now 42, appeared on Jason Mesnick’s season 13 of The Bachelor in 2009. Jason, now 49, was the lovable single dad from DeAnna Pappas’ season the year prior before getting the chance to hand out the roses.

As Jason whittled down his crop of women to Melissa and his now-wife, Molly Mesnick, he now infamously broke down in tears on multiple occasions. In the end, Jason opted to propose to Melissa and gave her the coveted final rose.

Cut to six weeks later: Jason broke up with Melissa during the taped After the Final Rose special in order to rekindle his relationship with runner-up Molly, now 41.
