Just over 13 years ago, Emily Maynard began her journey on Season 8 of The Bachelorette, where she ultimately fell in love with Jef Holm and got engaged at the final rose ceremony. Fans fell in love with Maynard on Season 15 of The Bachelor, and when she ended her engagement to Brad Womack just months after the finale, they were rooting for her to find love again.
Maynard came to Bachelor Nation as a single mother following the death of her fiancé, Ricky Hendrick, in a plane crash. Sadly, she didn’t find her forever partner in Holm, as they ended their engagement in October 2012, just three months after the finale of The Bachelorette Season 8 aired.
