Remember Brad Womack, the jerk from season 11 that didn’t pick anyone? Well, he came back for season 15 and proposed to the beautiful Emily Maynard. Unfortunately, the couple broke it off quickly after the show aired. They were on and off for a while, until finally ending for good in 2011.
Seems like this bachelor wasn’t going to get a break the second time around either. Some say that Maynard was only on the show as a move to secure her spot as the next Bachelorette. If that’s really the case, we say kudos to her. It’s not like he was especially nice the first time around.
Now: Jake Pavelka
Jake has openly dated a number of women, since breaking up with Vienna. He also appeared on "Dancing With the Stars" and "Bachelor Pad," among other shows.
As for his love life, it was rumored that he was dating Broadway star and Tony Award winner, Kristen Chenoweth. However, they weren't in it for keeps and broke it off eventually. Pavelka announced that he'd started seeing a woman from Arkansas, in 2018. We haven't heard about the two since, though, so it seems like it didn't work out.
Now: Vienna Girardi
Vienna also went on to have a continuing brush with fame, when she started dating "Bachelorette" contestant, Kasey Kahl. The couple lasted almost a year but broke up in 2014. Vienna went back to single life and opened up a boutique clothing store called Vixen, in Florida.
Sadly, the store closed after only a year, and Girardi secured a job as a recruiter for architecture and engineering companies. She now lives in Florida, and for those of you who just love some juicy gossip, she recently had a nose job.
Now: Brad Womack
Womack stayed out of the public eye, focusing on the bars he owns with his brothers, in Texas. He started dating Ashlee Frazier, one of the contestants on "The Bachelor" 17th season. But, yes, you probably guessed it, they broke it off.
Brad has made a conscious effort to stay out of social media, having no Twitter or Instagram accounts. Seems like "The Bachelor" wasn't really the right place for Womack to find true love. Oh well, we're sure he does fine with his fancy Texas bars!
Now: Emily Maynard
Maynard played it smart and became the star of "The Bachelorette", where she got engaged to Jef Holm. Even though their relationship didn't last longer than a few months after the show finale, it was clear that Maynard had achieved her goal of remaining in the spotlight after the Womack fiasco.
Emily married Tyler in 2014, and the couple now have six stunning kids. She lives a happily married life in North Carolina, where she enjoys the profits of her NYT bestseller, "I Said Yes: My Story of Heartbreak, Redemption and True Love." Well played, Emily!
