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.

It was relly over from the beginning. he appeared to be in love with Ashley, but the idea of a ready made family, and her southern charm (how Fake she is ) moved him into keeping her. not that her tru self has been let out of the bag,

By cin64np

He should have picked Ashley so we wouldn't have to be suffering through this seasons Bachelorette.

By DW

that's why he picked her. He knew she wouldn't last. what a farce. any of the others would have expected him to get serious.

Emily deserves a much better man. Brad is an arrogant, insecure, ignorant jerk. Go find someone that will respect, honor and love you Emily!
