'Bachelor' Winner Emily Maynard Returns Brad Womack's Ring

By Kelly Fisher Posted May 24th 2011 06:45AM

If there was any question about the status of Emily Maynard and Brad Womack's relationship (or lack there of), the answer is now crystal clear. The winner of 'The Bachelor' has reportedly returned her engagement ring.

According to Us Weekly, Maynard was spotted running errands in Charlotte, N.C., without the rock Womack presented to her on 'The Bachelor' finale, with an insider confirming that she has returned it to ABC.

Sources claim that the couple's long-distance relationship was just too hard to continue, with a source telling Us, "It's completely over now."

Maynard is reported to have initiated the breakup, which happened about two weeks ago after she visited Womack's home in Austin, Texas, in a last-ditch attempt to save their relationship.

"Emily is happy in Charlotte [North Carolina] and is not moving to Austin with [her 5-year-old daughter] Ricki," a source told Us. "She is content."

The breakup comes as no surprise to those keeping tabs on the reality couple. Trouble has been brewing in paradise since the March finale, where the couple's body language gave some clues into their icy relationship.

Who knows, maybe third time's a charm for Womack?

What a FLAKE and FAKE she is anyway. She's living i her past, and she will grow old by herself if she doesn't change the ME me me poor me attitude.

I knew she was a PSYCO and I only saw one episode of that show. He should have picked the shark tank girl

By me

Who gives a sh*t? Brad sucks and the shows are moronic.

Whew! She sure dodged a bullet there!

You can tell at the proposal she wasn't in love with him. View it again, he proposes and gets a hug ...no kiss?? I think he's weird, but she clearly isn't in love with him.

By Kate

that's why he chose her, because she wasn't in love with him. Brad didn't want to get married he just wanted to improve his image as a jerk. By choosing Emily instead of one of the girls that actually cared for him he could improve his image and not have to be tied down in a relationship. Brad is one of "those guys." You know the ones that simply like for women to want them..to love them..then he dumps them. There are guys like that out there unfortunately and Both Seasons I've seen that in Brad. He just says the right thing to get the girl hooked...but he doesnt mean any of them you can tell...there's no real emotion there...it's more about conquests.

They both have problems. Not a good place to be. This is best for the little girl, Ricki.

By Jocko

Brad screwed up AGAIN. No more chances for him. If Emily had been more honest, she would have dropped out before this sham took place.

By Randi

I think Brad needs to get his anger issues in check.

By Mary

Smart girl, so does this mean he will be back after this season for another try to find love? He is a loser and wants the attention not love.

By jmback2004

PLEASE don't bring him back for another season!!! I would rather watch paint dry..

By deeq

why did she even bother going on this show ? she knew she wouldn't leave NC-just another fake blond idiot!

By will

Hes probably gay.

By Pat

Another season??? Who watches this stuff? A TV reality show is most certainly not the place to find a spouse to spend the rest of your life with.

By Juli

Not only do I second that, I trillionth that.

By Jes

How about he go find an actual woman to DATE first. These shows are so ridiculous. My man and I are getting married after 4 years together, what could these people possibly know about each other that would warrant them getting married? Also, why keep having the same guy on? I'm thinking it's not the women who have the issue, he looks kinda like a jerk anyway.

By MacD

Now she can be available for Bentley the creep among creeps on this season of the show.

By Judy

Maybe he will show up on the Bachelorette????

this show makes me laugh. how can you possibly get to know someone that quick? also having so many girls at one time im sure takes your emotions in 500 different directions. this brad guy has issues anyway. he cant find a steady girl on his own? he needs a show to do it. hes pathetic.
