Maynard would not tell Lopez if she found love or got engaged on the show but she recently told reporters that she “was happy before the show, but really happy now.”

“I had a million reservations [about being the next Bachelorette] and I said no to anybody who would listen. But time went on, we started talking again, and they were so accommodating that it was [too] great an opportunity to pass up,” the 26-year-old single mom said.

“I had a great group of guys. I had the time of my life and learned so much about myself,” Maynard added. “It was the best experience getting to travel and to give Ricki the opportunity to see things she wouldn’t have otherwise.”

When asked who the front-runners are, Emily named a few of the men including Sean, Ari, and Jef…but she wouldn’t divulge any more than that!

Emily Maynard: The Next Bachelorette

According to US Weekly, North Carolina native Emily Maynard will ABC’s next Bachelorette.

The 25-year-old who got engaged to Brad Womack in the last season of The Bachelor, has reportedly signed on to star on the eighth season of the show.
Filming will begin in March and is set to take place in her hometown so she can stay near her daughter, Ricki.

Emily Maynard: “I Will Always Be In Love With Brad”

The beautiful Emily Maynard sat down for an emotional interview with Chris Harrison after Monday’s The Bachelorette and opened up about her relationship breakup with Brad Womack.
Right off the bat, Emily said about her ex-fiance that “Beyond his good looks, he’s just such a gentleman. He is so different than any guy I have ever met.” With those words, we knew that the breakup was not over some scandalous affair or betrayal, but the more complicated irreconcilable matters of the heart.
Apparently, the two broke up a while ago as the tabloids screamed. Using an infamous line of Bentley Williams, Maynard said, “For so long, I think we left the ‘dot dot dot,’ and I feel bad it’s taken us this long to let everyone know.”
It wasn’t shocking that we heard Maynard say, “We’re not engaged anymore,” but it was surprising to hear her say, “He’s always going to be a huge part of my life.” She even added, “I will always be in love with Brad. No one will ever hear me say a bad word about him nor will I tolerate anybody else saying anything bad about him.” So, then, the question we all wanted answered is, ‘why break up?’
There seems to be no good answer expect perhaps the pressures of a new romance, developing in the long lens of the paparazzi spotlight, added in to a mother of a young child wanting and needing promises and assurances of a life forever together from her new beau just proved to much to handle all at once. 
Emily said after The Bachelor wrapped up, she was cleaning out her house and planning on renting an apartment for her and her daughter Ricky where Brad lives but “little red flags were coming up.” She slowly realized that her wants for a relationship and marriage with Womack overshadowed the realities of the relationship. She wasn’t particular other than say that each of the duo “are used to being single,” and that “As a single mom, [she does not] have the luxury of saying [she] will figure things out when [she] gets there.” Maynard continued, “I didn’t have that reassurance “that he will be there six years down the road.”
Sadly, Maynard says, “Not a day goes by that I don’t regret how things have turned out and wish things were different.”
Emily said she does not know how the turn in the relationship happened and that no one is more disappointed than she is. “I felt like a fairy tale going through it. This is my worst nightmare.”
Womack was not present at the interview, but had given his blessings for Maynard to speak out. 
Maynard said she last talked to Womack a couple of days ago over text and knows the two will remain in contact. “He’s changed me as a person and taught me a lot,” she said. “We love each other a lot and we could make it work if it was based on that, but it’s not. I want to focus on being a mom and not worry about the [paparazzi] in the bushes.”
Speaking of paparazzi, she said her five year old daughter was just as affected with the alienation such a focus on the couple had brought on and would no longer believe the photographers were not after them but after everyone in general. Maynard had even told Ricky that the paparazzi thought she was Taylor Swift, but her daughter would not believe her.

Emily Maynard: The Next Bachelorette?

WHO did not see this coming the second we heard that Emily Maynard and Brad Womack had hit splitsville: Brad Womack’s Bachelor ex, may be the next star of The Bachelorette.

“She hasn’t officially signed on yet, but it looks like a done deal,” a source told Us Weekly“She wants to be famous,” the source also said.

I will fill you in as soon as more details come in. 
But you know ABC needs this deal really badly since the majority of people watching The Bachelorette this season seem extremely dissatisfied with how things have progressed or regressed, possibly to the point of giving up on the series all together.
But Maynard’s popularity with fans of the show and even with men on the current season of The Bachelortte is undeniable and millions would tune in to see if this beauty and her daughter will find a happy ending. 
And, how much do you want to bet that ABC will be also in talks with Bentley Williams the second the ink is put on a deal with Maynard? As much as we don’t want to admit, I think we would love to see Bentley back on this reality dating show just so we can have a person to bitch about.
Chris Harrison will interview Emily Maynard about her break up with Womack. Will that be the day the next Bachorette will also be announced?

Here’s what Chris told TV Guide about the interview, which airs July 11:

“We’re calling them Bachelor updates, catching up with some of the couples. The first is Brad and Emily, and we’ve actually shot another with Ali and Roberto. If anybody is expecting ‘Jake and Vienna 2’ then they’re sorely mistaken. Emily and Brad very much love each other, very much care about each other and they’re very good people and that definitely comes through. I talk to Brad all the time so I sit down [with Emily] and say, ‘This sucks doing this interview with one person and we’re talking about a friend.’ As far as interviews go, even including Jason/Molly/Melissa this was the most awkward and uncomfortable because Brad wasn’t there.”
