A week after news broke that ABC is planning to air an interview with Emily Maynard discussing her breakup with Brad Womack, the two are opening up about just that in an all new interview.
The former Bachelor couple grace the latest issue of PEOPLE magazine in which they both discuss what led to the demise of their relationship. And unlike former couple Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi, the two keep things classy.
“We’re no longer engaged,” Emily, 25 tells PEOPLE. “This is my worst nightmare. I thought there was no way Brad and I wouldn’t work out.”
So what led to the breakup? Emily admits it was hard for Brad, 38, to understand her life as a single mom to 6-year-old daughter Ricky (she turned 6 today). “It’s hard to convey what it’s like to be a parent to somebody that has no idea,” Emily explains. “He didn’t understand why I couldn’t go on a random vacation the next day. It’s hard for me to say, ‘I am so tired, I want to go to bed at 8,’ and for him to understand.”
Another issue for the couple was Emily’s reluctance to pack up and move to Austin, TX with Ricky due to the on-again off-again type relationship. “I need stability,” Emily says. “I can’t just say I’ll figure it out when I get there. I didn’t feel it would be a good move to take my daughter away from her life for a guy I don’t know if it’s going to work out a month down the road.”
Brad also spoke to PEOPLE taking full blame for the failure of their relationship. “The demise of our relationship was completely my fault,” Brad says. “I gave Em every reason under the sun to get out much sooner than she did. She hung in there with me much, much longer than she should have.”
So now that she’s a single gal, can we expect to see Emily as the future Bachelorette? According to Emily, that answer is a no. “I’m just like any girl dealing with a heartbreak, the last thing on my mind is to do this all over again,” she says.
You can read more of Emily and Brad’s interview in the latest issue of PEOPLE. Emily’s ABC interview is set to air July 11th during the episode of the Bachelorette. Brad declined to sit for the TV interview.
TELL US – THOUGHTS ON BRAD & EMILY’S PEOPLE INTERVIEW?
Still,!?!?!?!? didn’t they do this already, why haven’t these two been eaten by sharks!?
wow, ABC find a new way to advertise Bachelor shows, hmmmm, I smell a dead fish lol.
@2 Nimeo, no kidding!!!!
GO AWAY!!!!!
Enough already. STICK A FORK IN IT!!
Boy, sure hard to argue that gay marriage would destroy the values of marriage. Seems straight marriage is doing fine all by itself.
OMG!!!! I’m just so shocked. How could this have happened? I mean really people!! These Bachelor/Bachelorette shows are just horrible. With the exception of one couple NO ONE has stayed together. It’s so sad the way these women fawn all over these men and “fall in love” so easily. Sheer desperation. I can’t believe no one is embarrassed by this stuff.
These two got exactly what they deserve. Are you kidding me? She signs on to do a show to meet a guy who supposedly wants to find a wife and get engaged in approximately two months! What did she think was gonna happen knowing the guy was not from Charlotte . What were those chances? Before she signed on to do the show I’m sure she realized that she would be taking on a long-distance relationship. Duh~~you won, you’re the winner~~WINNING!!~~you ACCEPTED his proposal~~you’re ALREADY ENGAGED~~he’s from TEXAS~~now what are you gonna do? And, he CHOSE her KNOWING she had a 5 year old kid. OMG these people are UNBELIEVABLE! ! I’ll say it again~~somebody call BENTLEY!
REALLY? I mean REALLY??
Emily was always too good for him. It is nice to see them being civil to one another rather than the norm of trying to throw the other under the bus. I sincerely hope Brad stays in therapy, as he obviously needs help. Good luck to Emily in the future.
They were coached well by Fleiss’ PR machine.
Funny that uprooting her daughter to move for a man is an issue but wasn’t when she moved to Nashville.
I think Brad is a bratty, egotistical and selfish person, who only thinks of himself. He royally “blew it” the first time, and now, he blew it AGAIN. I feel sorry for any woman who gets into a relationship with him. It is time he grows up and realizes what he’s doing to women’s hearts, and start realizing he cannot be in a relationship until he wakes up and comes to the conclusion HE is ready to commit for the long haul!
Saw this coming when he picked her. I have to say they stayed together longer than I bet on
How a few top quality basics presently there, know already a few of in which, nevertheless, you can easily constantly learn more. My partner and i doubt a “kid” can build like facts when dolphin278 indicated. Maybe he or she is just simply trying to often be “controversial? lol
