Watch: Bachelorette Alum Emily Maynard Shares Baby No. 6 Has Down SyndromeEmily Maynard Johnson's family is blooming with another rose. The Bachelorette alum's oldest daughter Ricki Maynard-who she shares with her late fiancé, NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick-announced that she's expecting her first baby. In her Aug. 26 Instagram Stories, the 20-year-old shared a screenshot of her phone's lockscreen, which featured a photo of her latest ultrasound. To celebrate her pregnancy milestone, Ricki quoted Huda Mustafa's viral Love Island USA reunion moment, adding, "Netflix told me I'm not allowed to talk about it." After brushing up on her villa lore, Ricki also revealed the sex of her baby. "My heart is so full, yet my stomach is so empty because she hates all food," she joked in the post, adding a video of her little one moving in the ultrasound. "I'm convinced."photosMeet the Contenders to Be the First Golden Bachelorette While Emily-who also shares kids Jennings Tyler, 9, Gibson Kyle, 8, Gatlin Avery, 7, Magnolia Belle, 4, and Jones West, 3, with husband Tyler Johnson-hasn't publicly addressed her daughter's journey to motherhood, she's certainly celebrated some special moments in Ricki's life. In fact, the former Bachelor star dedicated a touching birthday tribute to Ricki last June, the same month she graduated from high school. "My beautiful girl. I'll always and forever have your back," the 39-year-old gushed on her Instagram post at the time, adding several photos of her and Ricki bonding over the years. "I love you and am so proud of the person you are. Happy 19th Birthday. You're a gift to the world!"Instagram/@rickihendrickkAnd when Emily isn't honoring her daughter, she's reflecting on expanding her family with the love of her life. Indeed, the reality star detailed her friends-to-lovers romance with Tyler, who she met before she competed on season eight of The Bachelorette in 2012. "He really wanted nothing to do with me," she explained on Good Morning America in January 2017. "I told my girlfriend I met this guy and he could not be less attracted to me, he was in the friend zone." But that dynamic ultimately changed, as the duo got married in 2014. "It is crazy at our house all the time," she continued, "but it's a lot of fun." While life after Emily and Tyler's final rose is seeing them enter a new chapter as grandparents, keep reading to see where more Bachelor Nation romances stand...

Juliana and I have decided to end our relationship," Grant wrote on his Instagram Story June 13.

But Jenn revealed on After the Final Rose back in September 2024 that Devin gave her the cold shoulder as soon as the cameras stopped rolling. "He was making bold proclamations of love and then suddenly the next day he was like, nothing and he denied ever being in love," Jenn told host Jesse Palmer during the Sept. 3 episode.

Drama continued to play out when Devin shared a 13-minute video recounting his side of the story to Instagram, where in addition to taking "accountability" he shared insight into why he ended the relationship in a 15-minute phone call.

"I didn't really know what else to do," he explained,
