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.

Please do not give us anymore artificial, barbie dolls. Please try to get someone who is real and down to earth. Enough of her already...anything but real! However, after this season's disaster, doubt I will be watching this phony ordeal anymore. What a joke!

By Rainne

By jorge coy

the idiot of the show make three three bachelor with Brad but is impossible he like man i think he like Crist

By Bug

Gawd! I hope she is the new Bachelorette. The one they have now is a total trainwreck and I hope they stop manipulating the story. Let it be as real as it can be...we tune in for "real"ity.

By Leah

No one with a child should be allowed to be on either "Bachelor" or "Bachelorette."

By Nancy

Who cares? This is just more "phoney, baloney" TV stuff.

he is gay can't you people see this...The series should bring him back one more time, but they should have all men cause that is what he really desires... besides she is a very pretty girl and can do far better than him.

By ScottR

Oh no! They broke up??!?? Really?

What a shocker!!!

I'd be more surprised if the sun came up tomorow.

By Sadie

Have Emily be the next bachelorette and invite Bently on as one of the bachelors. That would make great television.

By Adah

Love the show but would not watch this...I would not watch anything with this guy.

I was just joking, really. But can you imagine the look of horror on Emily's face if she saw Bentley get out of the limo? And he would probably physically chase her.

By Jennifer

Didn't we know this already? And I thought they had a bachelorette already? Is there another Bachelorette show this summer?

By Ada D.

Maybe now her and Bently can get together and set off into the horizon together...
What a female magnet he is. "NOT!"

This stuff is such nonsense anyway. It is on a par w/ Hugh Hefner finding the new love of his life two weeks after his breakup (26 year old). ALL PHONY and SHALLOW.

By Lisa

This is old news what else is new,
another relation ship bites the dust
lets move on.

By Hello Boots2T

Didn't they break up months ago right after the show? Really now this isn't news but not finding a prize in your cracker jacks box now that should be headlines.

By Charlene Lombardo

Now Bentley can try to go after Emily now. He is such a loser!!
