Bio
Mesnick is a native of Cleveland, Ohio. He is of Croatian and Ashkenazi Jewish descent. He moved to Washington at the age of eight and received his BA in psychology at the University of Washington.
Since his 2006 divorce from Hilary Buckholz-Monrean, he has raised his son, Ty, as a single father. Mesnick is an account executive in estate and legacy planning, and is a "big brother" for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America.
He dated DeAnna Pappas on The Bachelorette and was one of the final two suitors, even bending his knee to propose in the final rose ceremony before DeAnna stopped him. Instead Pappas chose Jesse Csincsak. Mesnick was chosen to be the next Bachelor, however, and although the new season was still airing, he said that he did find love on ABC’s reality dating series. “I’m engaged!” Mesnick said. “I found exactly what I was hoping for, what I was looking for. I’m completely in love.”[1]
He proposed to The Bachelor (season 13), a 25 year old Dallas native and former squad member of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. He then revealed on "After the Final Rose" that the chemistry changed with Melissa over the weeks after the end of the show, and that he still loves the runner-up, The Bachelor (season 13). Melissa was brought out, he broke up with her, and she returned the engagement ring. Molly was then brought out, he asked for another chance with her, and she accepted. .”[2]
Jason was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel the day after the "After the Final Rose" was aired and explained what happened behind the scenes. He told Jimmy that the chemistry was different between him and Melissa. Jimmy asked Jason why he proposed marriage to Melissa and Jason replied that Melissa was exactly what he wanted at the time, but he did not want to lead Melissa on. Jason also revealed on "Jimmy Kimmel" that before the "After the Final Rose", Jason and Melissa weren't together and Melissa already had the knowledge of the impending break-up.
