Mollique Johnson is one of the many suitors vying for Michelle Young's heart in season 18 of The Bachelorette. The season is slated to premiere on Tuesday, October 19, and fans will finally be introduced to Michelle's 30 male suitors.
There has already been a lot of chatter surrounding Michelle's season, such as contestant Clayton Echard becoming The Bachelor, as well as speculation about whether or not Michelle is engaged. Viewers met Michelle during Matt James' season of The Bachelor. Although Michelle joined the cast late, she and Matt immediately hit it off, and Michelle easily became a front-runner in the eyes of the fans.
However, Matt sent Michelle home during the overnight dates, leaving her heartbroken. Nonetheless, the teacher was able to move on from the breakup and was quickly offered the role of the next Bachelorette. Now, she's hoping to find love with one of the 30 men on her season. Could Mollique be her one and only?
