Emily Maynard admits her 'Bachelorette' days were 'one of the darkest times' in her life

Former Bachelorette Emily Maynard reflects on her days as a reality television star and reveals her baby’s gender!

In 2012, Maynard was starring on the hit ABC reality television show, The Bachelorette, where she attempted to find an ever-lasting love. After her brief and public engagement ended with Utah native Jef Holm, she moved on from her reality television show days and she admits she is “just happy to have that in the past.”

The expecting mother admitted that time in her life was “one of the darkest times" in her life and when she did watch the show, she wished she would of handle things differently. She added, “And having everything blow up in my face a couple times and go through a public embarrassment a couple times, it wasn't ideal."

Maynard is currently married to Tyler Johnson, a man she met in church, and the pair is expecting their first child together. During the interview with WCCB Charlotte News, she also revealed that they are expecting a baby boy in July. She explained that during her pregnancy she has been experiencing a lot of sickness, but that isn’t bothering her husband because he is still by her side through it all. “Tyler has seen me throw up in his gym bag, pretty much everywhere. So if he still finds me attractive after all of that, I think we’re good!”

The 28-year-old is already a mother to her 9-year-old daughter Ricki, who she raised on her own after her late fiancé, Ricky Henrick died in a plane crash in 2004.
