Molan and Her Fiance Recently Called it Quits
In September this year, Molan publicly announced breaking up with her fiance, homicide Detective Sean Ogilvy, with whom she shares a three-year-old daughter Eliza Emily Ogilvy. The two had been together since 2016 and were engaged in April 2017.
A month after the split, Molan revealed to 9 Honey that it had been a difficult transition since she and her fiance, Ogilvy, separated. She said:
“Sean loves Eliza more than the world, and so do I. It’s certainly an adjustment. You go from being with the most important person in your life 24/7 to then having to share your child and that’s really, really tough.
The Channel 9 sports reporter added:
“But we’re both really blessed in that she is our priority and always will be and whatever is best for her, we do. And that is something I never have to worry about and something he never has to worry about.”
Despite being separated, Molan and Ogilvy share the same priority in their life i.e. their daughter’s future.
