Ricky Hendrick's Former Fiance Tries to Find Love on "The Bachelor"
NEW YORK (CBS) Returning "Bachelor" Brad Womack, who was once considered to be the most loathed "Bachelor" in series history, isn't the only one with a compelling story to tell.
On last night's premiere, we met all the women vying for Womack's love. Mixed in the usual group of executive assistants and nannies, there was sports publicist Marissa, "manscaper" Raichel, funeral director Shawntel and Radio City Rockette Keltie, among others.
But the one who stuck out the most was southern belle Emily Maynard.
The 24-year-old children's hospital event planner explained that her former fiance, NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick, died in a plane crash in 2004, and days later she learned that she was pregnant with their now 5-year-old daughter.
"I knew there was a reason I wasn't on the plane that day," she said.
