Love Is Blind<\/em><\/a> star Molly Mullaney<\/strong> returned in episode 11 and she arrived with some bad news for Lauren O\u2019Brien<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Before Molly, 30, showed up in the episode that aired on Friday, February 28, Lauren, 31, and her fianc\u00e9, David \u201cDave\u201d Bettenburg<\/strong><\/a>, had a conversation the morning after he spent a night out with friends and didn\u2019t stay at the apartment he and Lauren shared. Dave, 33, revealed that the previous night he had gone out with some of his friends to a bar called Nolo.<\/p>\n While Dave was at the bar, he ran into several of the people from the Love Is Blind<\/em> season 8 cast. He explained that one of his costars approached him and told him that Molly, who he developed a close connection with in the pods, was there.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t want to throw everyone on the spot but it was like, \u2018Hey, Molly\u2019s here. Do you wanna go meet her?\u2019 I was just like, \u2018No. Absolutely not.\u2019 That would be the dumbest thing ever. To even say hi, that would just be stupid,\u201d Dave told Lauren in episode 10.<\/p>\n Lauren agreed that Dave made the right choice, considering \u201cthe state\u201d he was in, referring to their ongoing struggles with her pre-show situationship<\/a>. Dave ultimately couldn\u2019t get past the fact that Lauren was in a casual relationship before arriving to film Love Is Blind<\/em>, and he called off their engagement at the beginning of episode 11, leaving the educational sales professional in tears.<\/p>\n Later in the same episode, Molly and Lauren had a chance to talk after some of the cast met up to go snowtubing. While Dave might not have spoken to Molly that night at the bar, the former Timberwolves cheerleader revealed some details that he seemingly left out during his conversation with Lauren.<\/p>\n \u201cTiera from the pods was there and said, \u2018Hey, Dave\u2019s over there. Do you wanna say hi?\u2019 I said, \u2018Nope, I\u2019m good,\u2019\u201d Molly explained to Lauren. \u201cBut apparently there was a girl all over him. I didn\u2019t see it. I don\u2019t know what \u2018all over him\u2019 means.\u201d<\/p>\n Lauren was visibly surprised to hear the news, and Molly said that she struggled with whether or not to let Lauren know about the situation the night that it happened.<\/p>\n Molly continued, \u201cI was like, \u2018Do I text Lauren about it?\u2019 and I was like, \u2018I don\u2019t want it to seem like I\u2019m bitter, or that I\u2019m trying to cause things.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Someone needs to tell Lauren this because I don\u2019t want her not knowing this going into a marriage.\u2019 That\u2019s a big f\u2013king deal.\u201d<\/p>\n It was then that Lauren announced that she and Dave had officially broken up before going into the details about him not being able to accept her past relationships<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dave and Lauren developed a relationship early on in the pods during Love Is Blind<\/em> season 8, but things began to go south once they returned to the real world. Lauren has been open about their struggles and even told Vulture<\/em> that she felt a \u201cshift\u201d in Dave\u2019s behavior<\/a> after producers allowed them to have their phones back. The medical device salesman couldn\u2019t handle the opinions of his friends and family who weren\u2019t on board with his engagement to Lauren and it eventually led to the demise of their relationship.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
