Former Bachelor Jason Mesnick and his wife, Molly Mesnick, are celebrating their daughter’s latest milestone.
“🎀 12 🎀. Today is her big day and she deserves every ounce of celebration!!” Molly, 41, wrote via Instagram on Friday, March 14. “In the last year, Riley has matured into the most special young lady, beyond my wildest dreams! She is conquering middle school, making so many amazing new friendships, getting all A’s, trying new things (volleyball starts Monday 😏) and is just overall so so happy!”
Alongside the sweet message, Molly shared a carousel of photos from Riley’s birthday party earlier this month. In one image, Riley concentrated on blowing out her birthday candle atop a cake as her friends watched.
“This year has been the best transition for her and it has been so much fun watching her grow and flourish! Happy happy bday my sweet girl! 🥳,” Molly wrote, adding that Riley’s nails in the photos are real.
Jason, for his part, gushed over his daughter in a separate post alongside a series of throwback photos of Riley through the years. In one pic, Riley posed with brother Ty, now 20, at a playground. (Jason welcomed son Ty with ex-wife Hilary Buckholz-Monrean, to whom he was married to for four years until 2007.)
“Happy 12th Birthday, Riley! 🎉🥧. Twelve years ago, the world got way cooler because YOU arrived! Now you’re officially 12, which means you’re 3.14159 times more awesome than last year (math doesn’t lie 🤓),” Jason, 48, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, March 15.
He continued, “You’re smart, kind, and full of so much joy — I couldn’t be prouder to be your dad. Love you more than all the pie in the world (and that’s saying a LOT)! 🥧💖. Hope your day is as sweet and fun as you are, Riley! Let’s celebrate YOU! 🎂🎈 #HappyBirthdayRiley #PiDayBaby #InfiniteAwesomeness #12YearsOfFun.”

Bachelor Nation met Jason when he appeared on DeAnna Pappas’ season 4 of The Bachelorette in 2008. He went on to star as the lead of The Bachelor season 13, where he ultimately chose Melissa Rycroft before splitting from her during the taping of the After the Final Rose special and pursuing a romance with his runner-up, Molly. The pair tied the knot in 2010 and welcomed daughter Riley three years later.
While celebrating the couple’s 15th anniversary last month, Molly shared a sweet social media tribute to Jason.
“We are ships, passing in the night, these days … at 6am we didn’t think it would even be possible for us to have dinner together tonight (that’s 15 years of marriage for ya 😂) BUT … we made it happen and I’m so glad because I love EVERY minute with this man,” Molly wrote via Instagram.
She continued, “@jasonmesnick is the real hero for putting up with my crazy day in and day out. He is my calm, my voice of reason and my safe place. On top of that, there is no question he is the most amazing dad. Thank you for being you, Jason Mesnick. There is not a single person I would rather do life with! I love you!”
