Melissa grew up in her hometown, and went to Newman Smith High School in Carrollton. From an early age she was dedicated to dance, and while in high school she served as first lieutenant of the drill team. After matriculation, Melissa enrolled at the University of North Texas, and graduated with a degree in Marketing.
Following her graduation, Melissa became a part of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and also danced until 2008. She appeared regularly on the show “Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team”, during her stint as the cheerleader.
Her television career began in 2009, making an appearance on the reality TV show “Bachelor”, and she was eventually selected by the bachelor of the show Jason Mesnick. The two married then, but shortly afterwards divorced, because Jason had feelings for Molly Malaney, who was second on the show. Regardless, her net worth improved somewhat.
After “Bachelor” ended, Melissa was appointed as the host of the show “Bachelor Pad” in 2010, and since then has made numerous appearances in talk shows, but has also worked as host of some of the most popular shows. From 2010 until 2015, she served as special contributor for the talk show “Good Morning America”, which only added to her net worth. Melissa was also the co-host of the show “FabLife” (2015-2016), but then she became immensely popular when she won the All-Stars season of the show “Dancing with the Stars” in 2015, paired with professional dancer Tony Dolovani, which added a substantial amount to her net worth.
Regarding her personal life, Melissa has been married to Tye Strickland since 2009; the couple dated previously for seven years, when Melissa was in high school and college, but broke-up, only to get together in 2009, and marry. Now, they have two sons and a daughter.
