Ten thousand “sources” have combined to announce that Brad Womack’s Bachelor 15 ex Emily Maynard will be the Season 8 Bachelorette. Why ABC can’t just make an official statement is a mystery, but it sounds like it’s time to accept the news as pretty close to fact. Since Emily should be meeting 25 new guys pretty soon, let’s look back at the fellas she’s dated or almost-but-not-quite dated up to this point.
Ricky Hendrick
Emily was engaged to NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick when he and nine others died in a plane crash in 2004. Ricky is the father of their daughter, Josephine Riddick “Ricki” Hendrick.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
This is one of Emily’s kinda-sorta relationships. A Dale Jr. fan told Starcasm, “They never officially declared themselves a couple, but did go out together and spend a lot of time with one another in early 2006.”
Brad Womack
‘Memba him? Emily is still the only woman who managed to get Brad down on one knee to say the words “Will you marry me?” It didn’t work out for them — multiple times along the way — and their split was made public in June of 2011.
Jeremy Shockey
This past October, Emily was linked to Carolina Panthers tight end Jeremy Shockey. “They were set up on a blind date,” a friend of Em’s told Us Weekly. “They’ve been out five times. Emily thinks Jeremy is nice, but she’s just having fun!”
Doug Cartwright
For a while back in September we had fun reading into the cutesy flirtation between Emily and Michelle Money’s brother, Doug Cartwright. Nothing really came of it, but it’d be fun to see Doug on The Bachelorette.
Matt Nordgren
Emily was also linked to the Most Eligible Dallas star, but Emily shot that rumor down herself in early December, telling Us Weekly she was “definitely not dating anyone, much less Matt Nordgren.” She also clarified, “I’ve met Matt once in my entire lifetime in L.A. with a huge group of people. [It] was definitely not a date.”
