Emily Maynard, known for her role on the reality television series The Bachelorette, has become a grandmother at the age of 39. Her eldest daughter, Ricki Hendrick, gave birth to a daughter just before the weekend, marking a significant milestone for the family.
Ricki, at 20 years old, celebrated the arrival of her first child with a heartfelt announcement on Instagram, stating it was the “best day ever.” The joy of becoming grandparents was shared by Emily’s husband, Tyler Johnson, who expressed his emotions in a joint post. He wrote, “We became grandparents today!! The feeling is inexpressible 🤍🤍🤍. This is love,” and included a biblical reference emphasizing love and family.
The news of Ricki’s pregnancy first surfaced in August 2023, creating excitement among fans and family alike. Fellow Bachelorette alumni extended their congratulations on social media, with Hannah Brown commenting, “Congrats to you all! Absolutely precious!” Andi Dorfman added her well wishes, saying, “She’s perfect! Congrats!! Rikki you are a rockstar 💕💕💕.”
Ricki is the first child of Emily with her late fiancé, Ricky Hendrick, who tragically passed away before she discovered her pregnancy at the age of 19. Over the years, Emily has built a large family, now sharing five young children with Tyler.
As the family embraces this new chapter, both Emily and Ricki are receiving an outpouring of love and support from fans and fellow reality stars. The arrival of the new baby girl not only brings joy to the Maynard-Johnson family but also serves as a reminder of the enduring bonds of family and love.
