Emily Maynard and Brad Womack Are Officially Over

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Jun 29th 2011 09:54AM

For months we've been asking 'are they or aren't they?' but now Emily Maynard is finally speaking out about her failed small screen romance with 'The Bachelor,' Brad Womack. After giving single gals across the nation the teary-eyed, down on one knee finale they needed last March on the season finale of the reality show, Maynard and Womack couldn't keep the spark alive once the cameras stopped rolling.

"We're no long engaged," Maynard told People.

Maynard's blunt confession to her single status comes after battling paparazzi and tabloid rumors that she and Womack weren't living happily ever after once the director called cut. Now the 25-year-old blonde beauty is airing out her failed TV relationship in an attempt to end "all the media speculation" and "move on and get back to normal."

The media spotlight on Maynard's love life has made it especially difficult to protect her six-year-old daughter, Ricki -- who was less than thrilled to meet Womack during Maynard's 'Bachelor' hometown visit date.

And while Maynard has not blamed Womack for the dissolution of their relationship, he is taking complete responsibility for the couple's downfall.

"The demise of our relationship was completely my fault," the 38-year-old told People.

But Maynard insists that neither party was totally responsible for their break-up and the pair still has a great amount of love and respect for one another.

"Just because we love each other doesn't mean we're right for each other," she cooly said.

So does Maynard's no hard feelings stance on the relationship mean that she's over the heartbreak and may even be taking the reins as 'The Bachelorette'? We'll find out when she sits down with the show's Chris Harrison on July 11.

Insanity is doing something the same way every time then being surprised when the result doesn't change. The Bachelor(ette) is a failed premise, stop repeating the experiment!!

By KR

These two schmucks have been over for months. Why bother giving them more press? Their demise was a safer bet than Secretariat in the Derby.

By paul

Yes, and he was bright enough to know that he would spend the next 25 years paying child support if he knocked that airhead up.

By What?!

Just shut down the show. It ain't going anywhere anymore. All fake romance. Handpicked the beauties and then shove them into the show for money and rating.

By JohnnyBoy

The show is such a sham to begin with. These people are nothing but starlet wannabees and beefcake gay guys looking for a "Hollywood Career". Talk about the 'dumbing down' of America!

Only cat ranchers and 25-35 single women watch this garbage. These shows are a waste. Did you see THE VOICE? It's awesome!!!!!!

By Jim

I agree with you 1000%. I can't believe I ever watched this stupid show with all these shallow self indulged people. Shame on me.

By joan

What a surprise....NOT!
I never watch this junk on tv, any of it. The men and women who go on these get 15 minutes of fame and that is it. The networks who program this junk should be fined. These shows are a total waste of time and money. I watch and old movie than this garbage.

By abqparral

Are these people for real - what losers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By Backgammon

Please. I have had enough of Emily and Brad. The show where all the rejects get together is a better show. Not as staged.

By Yi

Who cares? These two losers had to go on TV to get a date. They, and the people who watch them, are morons.

By Stxchic

What name to you call people that read about them and then take the time to post?
