Emily Maynard, known for her appearance on The Bachelorette, has become a grandmother at the age of 39. Her eldest daughter, Ricki Hendrick, welcomed her first child, a baby girl, just before the weekend, marking a significant milestone for the family. Ricki, 20, expressed her joy on Instagram, calling it the “best day ever.”
In a joint announcement, Emily’s husband, Tyler Johnson, shared his excitement, stating, “We became grandparents today!! The feeling is inexpressible 🤍🤍🤍. This is love.” He concluded the post with a biblical verse about love and family. The news has drawn congratulatory messages from fellow alumni of The Bachelorette, including Hannah Brown, who described the baby as “absolutely precious,” and Andi Dorfman, who praised Ricki, saying, “She’s perfect! Congrats!! Rikki you are a rockstar 💕💕💕.”
Ricki Hendrick is the daughter of Emily and her late fiancé, Ricky Hendrick, who tragically passed away before Ricki’s birth when Emily was just 19 years old. Emily also shares five younger children with Tyler, making this new addition even more special for the family.
The announcement of Emily becoming a grandmother first surfaced in August, creating a wave of anticipation among fans and followers. As the family embarks on this new chapter, the joy of welcoming a grandchild has undoubtedly resonated deeply within the Maynard-Johnson household.
Congratulations are in order for both Emily and Ricki as they embrace their new roles in the family. This heartwarming update brings a blend of celebration and nostalgia, highlighting the enduring bonds of family love.
