Emily Maynard is stepping into a new family milestone as her public journey with motherhood continues to expand. The Bachelorette alum’s eldest daughter, Ricki Hendrick, 20, revealed she is pregnant, making Maynard a first-time grandmother.
Ricki shared the news on social media, posting a sonogram on her Instagram Story with the playful note, “Netflix told me I’m not allowed to talk about it,” and later added an ultrasound video. She credited Love Island USA contestant Huda Mustafa for the quote.
Maynard, 39, shares Ricki with her late fiancé, Ricky Hendrick, who died in a plane crash in October 2004. Maynard later pursued love on national television, appearing on season 15 of The Bachelor in 2011 and getting engaged to Brad Womack, though the couple split that year. She then became the star of The Bachelorette in 2012, getting engaged to Jef Holm before they broke up. In 2014, Maynard married Tyler Johnson, and the couple has five children: Jennings, 9; Gibson, 8; Gatlin, 7; Magnolia, 4; and Jones, 3.
This news signals a joyful new chapter for Maynard and her expanding family as Ricki prepares to welcome a new member into the Hendrick-Maynard clan. Maynard’s public journey—from reality TV stardom to a growing family—continues to be closely followed by fans who have watched her story unfold over the years. If there’s more to share, fans can expect updates as Ricki’s pregnancy progresses.
