As we anxiously wait for the new season of ABC’s The Bachelorette to begin, several of the former contestants are spending the hiatus having fun mingling and mating up. One of the most talked about events was in Breckenridge, Colorado last month at the semi-annual Bachelor and Bachelorette reunion. Hosting the shenanigans as always was former contestant, Jesse Csincsak, who received the final rose in Season 4 from DeAnna Pappas. Although Jesse and DeAnna’s relationship didn’t result in a lifelong romance, Jesse did find love through The Bachelor and married Season 13 contestant, Ann Lueders.

Rumors are swirling that Bachelor stars Brad Womack and Emily Maynard have called it quits for good this time. A source close to Maynard says, “It happened about a week and a half ago,” according to HollywoodLife.com. The apparent reason for the breakup centers around Maynard having remaining feelings for her ex-boyfriend, automotive executive David Smith. “She’s got something with David,” says the same source. “And David totally digs Emily.” The duo dated before The Bachelor and were said to be a good couple, although Maynard seemed “reserved” around Smith. Either way, it looks as if a match made in reality heaven is sputtering to an end.
How do you determine if your relationship is toxic?
For those of you who thought Brad Womack had finally found true love his second time around, think again. According to HollywoodLife, Emily Maynard’s mom, Susan Maynard, commented that their relationship is a bit rocky. Maynard told People, “They have not officially broken up. It’s still kind of on and off, I hear nothing but good things about Brad. They are still just trying to get to know each other.” Although it doesn’t seem as though Susan Maynard has much confidence in the couple making it in the long run, we will just have to wait and see.
Do your parents know best when it comes to your relationships?
It’s been a few months since Brad Womack bid Ashley Hebert farewell, as she left South Africa brokenhearted and in tears, but starting May 23, the season 15 contestant will be back on ABC – and this time, she’ll be handing out the roses!
