Jason Mesnick has a habit of getting engaged in New Zealand. "The Bachelor" proposed to Melissa Rycroft while filming the show's finale in the country, but later dumped her for Molly Malaney -- ET has new details on his latest New Zealand engagement.

Mesnick and his new fiancée Malaney vacationed to a lakefront, five-suite hotel in Queenstown when the reality TV star popped the question, People.com reports. Mesnick gave his bride-to-be a diamond and platinum ring by placing it in a glass of bubbly and passing it to Malaney.

To remember the moment, Mesnick set his camera on a timer to capture the romance.

Audiences were shocked when, in March's "The Bachelor: After the Final Rose" on ABC, Jason broke up with his fiancée Rycroft, instead deciding to be with his second choice, Malaney.

According to the publication, the couple has kept a long-distance relationship -- Mesnick living with his son in Seattle, Washington and Malaney in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

  • It all worked out in the end. They are in love and verry happy. Let them enjoy their future without making judgements. She is aware of what she is getting into and does not have to deal with the kids terrible 2's until they have their own child.
