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.

None of these idiots ever stay together. Just can this LAME show!

By mberkemeir

How many seasons and only 3 couples have remained together. I can't believe I used to watch this show every week--I haven't watched the last 4 seasons.

By Erwin

Who cares about these brain-dead idiots?

if you dont like it dont watch it we all take a chance with love

Is she out of her friggin' mind? Half of America was wondering what she was even doing on the show in the first place with a little girl.

I'm sorry you're husband is gone - that is tragic and while I believe you are entitled to a happy life that includes romantic love - you've created another life that you're not finished fulfilling your responsibilities to, with and for yet. Sorry darlin' you gotta do like the rest of us grown-ups and put your life on hold until that little baby gets all growed up and then you can "Go Your Own Way" as Fleetwood Mac would say.

Finish what you started - for once.

She was not married to the father of her daughter. He was from a high profile racing family and they have been very supportive of her.

If you care about this story you must have an IQ of 50 or less.

This is not news-looks like Emily is still wanting to add to her 15 minutes of "fame".
Phoney baloney crap!

By Sean

To think you would find the love of your life on a reality show is reduculous, anyway. Good luck to them both.

By antfitz

She spelled her name on the show "Emoly" as I remember.(I'm not fond of weird spellings.)
Thought she was nice, but then saw the "Iron butterfly" you so often hear about in Southern women (nothing against the South -- just mentioning what is often said). She is the problem and I do think she wasn't past her fiance. She probably has idealized him and no one will measure up.

By Victor

FINALLY!! I, for one, hope this is "THE END" of this sick public relationship, The 'clue phone' has been ringing at their home ever since they left the show, but no one seemed to hear (or answer) it! Good-bye and good ridance.

Just please DON"T bring Emily back as the Bachelorette! She is not willing to give an inch in a relationship. She was wrong for him from the get-go. Of course, I agree with many of you, the show is mainly entertainment...not reality!

By Hello Graciepooo

They are both losers!

By Marilyn

I am a member of Mensa, but watch this show. I love the dynamics between the contestants. I love to see the different personalities living together in the house and then how they interact with the bachelor/bachelorette. It's entertainment and fun to follow. I don't take it seriously. Our brains need some "junk food" or diversion once in a while, especially with all that is going on with the economy, wars, etc.

He needs a good man to keep him happy!

By DIANE

By DIane
