It’s Official: Brad Womack & Emily Maynard No Longer Engaged

Another couple made in The Bachelor heaven bites the dust.

We’ve all heard the rumors since it seems like before The BachelorBrad Womack Round 2 finale even aired: That Brad and his chosen lady which turned out to be the beautiful Emily Maynard have hit splitsville.
But now, we sadly have confirmation: Maynard and Womack have called quits on their fairy tale while on TV but rocky while in real world relationship.
“We’re no longer engaged,” Maynard told People. Maynard does not place blame for the breakup of the relationship on Womack, but Womack surely places fault on himself:

“The demise of our relationship was completely my fault,” Womack told People.

Maynard takes a kinder approach: “Just because we love each other doesn’t mean we’re right for each other.”

Want to know more? ABC will air a heart to heart between Maynard and Chris Harrison on July 11.
Emily Maynard for the next Bachelorette?? I say yes! But then again, ABC would then be tempted to bring back Bentley Williams who was dying to have EM as the Bachelorette but instead got Ashley Hebert (and we all know what happened there…)

Brad Womack Tells The Media To Back Off!

Brad Womack is asking the media to lay off! Honestly, I can’t say I blame him! Ever since 13.8 million viewers tuned in to the three-hour Bachelor finale Monday night to see Womack get on one knee and propose to Emily Maynard, I have read nothing on the couple but doom and gloom stories which gloat that the lovebirds have already broken up.

If they have not broken up already, which Womack says they have not, what couple could possibly withstand all this negativity and scrutiny? To battle some of the BS, Womack and Maynard have taken to the press and issued this joint statement and plea:

“At long last, Emily and I can be open to the world and each other about our relationship. Though we are madly in love, it has been a bumpy couple of months for us and our priority right now is to focus on our relationship. We hope that you can respect our privacy as we return to normalcy and begin our off-screen lives together.”

Brad and Emily – You get my full cooperation. I know your relationship blossomed in the most public of arena, however, you two do deserve the privacy that non-reality couples enjoy on a daily basis…I wish the two of you the best and a long, joyful and bump-less life! Just make sure you check back in with us every once in a while because some of us are eagerly awaiting some happy news from you two!
