Molly Hopkins is a 90 Day Fiancé franchise alum who does sassy Southern commentary on Pillow Talk, and we've found out exactly why she fell for her old flame, Luis Mendez. Before she and her best friend Cynthia were watching other people's journeys on the screen, Molly was the star of her own saga. Although things didn't work out with her husband Luis, Molly really did love him. She fell for the bartender's fun-loving side while on vacation in the Dominican Republic.
Molly Hopkins was 41 years of age when she met 26-year-old Luis. He told her that he was going to marry her the very first time they met, and he kept his word. The two signed their marriage license in Georgia a few days before their wedding ceremony. However, the ceremony never happened because Luis proved that he did not want to be a stepdad to Molly's two children. Just a year after signing their marriage license, the two were officially divorced. A few months later, Luis remarried a woman from DR. In 2020, it was reported that he would be deported back to the Dominican Republic due to his divorce from Molly.
All of the red flags that led to the couple's demise didn't deter Molly at first. She knew there was an age gap and realized that Luis might not be able to handle two stepdaughters. However, she was so in love that she looked past these concerns. Molly fell for Luis partly because of his looks. She said that seeing him was "kinda like when people saw Pam Anderson on Baywatch, running down the beach...if you flip that to a man." It was love at first sight. She was smitten and couldn't hide her feelings. The lingerie business owner was thrilled that Luis seemed to feel the same way. Molly swooned when Luis told her he was going to marry her upon their very first meeting. As the two got to know each other, they seemed to hit it off.
Once Luis got to America, Molly did some thinking. She felt that Luis fell for, "vacation Molly." He just couldn't adjust to her real-life responsibilities once he moved in with her. Molly also fell for a vacation version of Luis, who was on his best behavior. He and Molly embarked on a whirlwind romance while Molly was still in the Dominican Republic on her girls' trip. Luis showered her with compliments and was as sweet as could be, according to Molly. She told her divorce lawyer that Luis's kindness stopped once the marriage papers were signed. To her, he seemed like a different person after they wed.
Molly from 90 Day Fiancé fell for a person who said he loved her, relaxed with her while on vacation, and treated her well. She never expected the very same person to accuse her of having devilish decorations in her home. He also threatened to call the police during an argument. Molly learned the hard way that falling for a man didn't mean he would fit into her life. Molly has since moved on to a new love named Kelly, and fans are rooting for this healthy relationship.
