Get ready for some heartwarming news! Emily Maynard Johnson, the former Bachelorette star, is about to become a grandmother at just 39 years old. Her daughter, Ricki Hendrick, 20, announced that she's pregnant with her first child, a baby girl!
Ricki's Big Announcement
Ricki shared the exciting news on her Instagram Stories, posting a screenshot of her phone's lock screen featuring a sonogram photo. She playfully quoted Huda Mustafa from Love Island USA, writing, "'Netflix told me I'm not allowed to talk about it'."
In another post, Ricki shared a video of the ultrasound, showing her baby girl moving. She joked about her pregnancy cravings, saying, "My heart is so full, yet my stomach is so empty because she hates all food. I'm convinced."
A Blooming Family
Emily Maynard Johnson, who has six children—Ricki, Jennings, Gibson, Gatlin, Jones, and Magnolia—hasn't yet publicly commented on Ricki's pregnancy, but she has always been a supportive mother. She often shares touching tributes to her children on social media.
Ricki is Emily’s daughter with her late fiancé, NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick. Emily later found love with Tyler Johnson, whom she married in 2014. Their family continues to blossom with this exciting new chapter.
Emily's Journey to Love
Before finding her happily ever after with Tyler, Emily navigated the world of reality TV, appearing on season 15 of The Bachelor and later becoming The Bachelorette in season 8. While she had engagements with Brad Womack and Jef Holm, neither relationship lasted.
Now, as Emily prepares to welcome her first grandchild, it's clear that family is at the heart of everything she does. Congratulations to Emily, Ricki, and the entire Maynard Johnson family!
