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!
The Bachelor, Season 15: Brad Womack and Emily Maynard
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: 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!
The Bachelor, Season 16: Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson
In this season of "The Bachelor," we were introduced to serial entrepreneur, Ben Flajnik. This bachelor surprised us all when he proposed to show villain, Courtney Robertson in the show's finale. And here comes the plot twist — they broke it off straight after, only to reunite on the 'After the Rose' live special.
The man claimed he chose her because he couldn't believe a model was actually into him. Superficial, anyone? It's no wonder the relationship didn't last more than a year — we can just imagine the scintillating conversation between these two. To make things worse, the exes had a nasty break up in 2012, both giving out interviews to tabloid magazines and talking badly about each other.
Now: Ben Flajnik
Ben continued as an entrepreneur and went on to co-found Fernet San Francisco, an artisanal fernet company. After breaking it off with Robertson, there were rumors that Flajnik was dating Kris Jenner. Oh, and this stud also used to date Jennifer Love Hewitt, before his 'bachelor' days.
Flajnik went on to meet now-former-girlfriend Stephanie Winn through Tinder. But apparently, they broke it off. Now officially off the market, Flajnik married a woman who is not in show business in an intimate ceremony in late 2023.
