Season 8

Emily Maynard, the beautiful, sweet, young mom who captured America's and Brad Womack's heart on the 15th season of The Bachelor, finally thought she had her happy ending. She accepted Brad's proposal and was looking forward to walking down the aisle.

Unfortunately her relationship with Brad ended, along with her dream of moving to Austin with her daughter, Ricki, and starting a family.

But Emily is ready for her luck to change and to bring her the love she so richly deserves.

It's hard to meet men as a single mom, but Emily will have her pick of 25 bachelors when she gets a second opportunity to find love starring in the eighth edition of The Bachelorette.

Emily, 25, led a tragic but fulfilling life before meeting Brad. In 2004 she became engaged to famed NASCAR driver and team owner Ricky Hendrick. Sadly Hendrick died in a plane crash in October, 2004, leaving his fiancée pregnant with their child.

The apple of Emily's eye and legacy of their love, Josephine Riddick Ricki Hendrick was born June 29, 2005.

Instantly popular with Bachelor fans, Emily's strength, passion and southern charm - as a mother and as a woman - would make anyone happy to make her his wife.

She found love again with Brad and, even though it didn't work out, she knows that the series can work. Among those 25 men, she is looking for someone who makes her laugh, doesn't take himself too seriously and can be her best friend.

Emily is hoping that the third time is the charm.

The Morgantown, West Virginia native who now resides in Charlotte, NC is a full-time mommy, which is something she has always wanted. Ricki, who is six years old, is a perfect blend of both her mother and father in looks and personality.

Emily cherishes the unconditional love they share, which makes her smile all the time, and knows that the time they share together will serve as memories that Ricki will have forever.

As busy as she is as a full time mom, Emily finds the time to do volunteer work. Her particular interest is in helping children. She has given her time to the Hendrick Marrow program, Levine Children's Hospital, the lunch buddy program at Hidden Valley Middle School, and to a jewelry class she is teaching at an underfunded middle school.

Next on her list is a mission trip to Africa.

Emily feels incredibly grateful to have found her first love when she was very young, and despite not having dated a lot, knows what it's like to be truly in love.

In the past seven years, she has been looking for someone with the same spark she has for life, and she believes that she will find her soul mate on The Bachelorette.

About the Show

A spin-off of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette follows a woman's search for true love as she is courted by 25 eligible, overeager bachelors.

In Season 1 it was Trista Rehn who had the opportunity to search for true love and found it with fireman Ryan Sutter. The couple remain married and have two children together.

Trista appeared in a previous series of The Bachelor and the U.S. public was so outraged that she wasn't chosen, the creators decided to give her her own opportunity to find love. Thus the spin-off show was born.

Hosted by Chris Harrison, who acts as friend and advisor, the Bachelorette's search for love ends in a final rose ceremony, where she has to decide whether to accept a marriage proposal or not.
