Emily Maynard Gives Back Brad Womack's Engagement Ring

Emily Maynard is a bachelorette once more.
The single mom, 25, ran errands in her native Charlotte, North Carolina late last week -- and the only ring on her finger was her key ring.

Indeed, Maynard has returned her engagement ring -- Brad Womack slipped it on her finger during the Bachelor finale -- to ABC, a show insider confirms to Us Weekly.
"It's completely over now," the source tells Us.
A second source previously told Us Weekly that the duo ended their relationship "two weeks ago," shortly after Maynard flew to Womack's native Austin, Tex. in a last-ditch attempt to smooth things over.

And Maynard was the one to initiate the final split, a third insider revealed, adding that long-distance pressures grew too intense.
"Emily is happy in Charlotte [North Carolina] and is not moving to Austin with [her 5-year-old daughter] Ricki," the insider tells Us. "She is content."

Bar-owner Womack, 38, isn't taking the news so good. "Brad keeps drunk-dialing her," a fourth pal said. "Brad is such a loser."
Tell Us What You Think
28@Sarah Keck ("I think it was nice to return the ring instead of selling it.") Nothing 'nice' about it; those are the rules. The Bachelor/ette couple has to stay together at least two years for the girl to keep the ring. If there's a break-up before the 2-year deadline, the ring goes back to ABC.
I had her pegged as a fake from day 1. Oh poor me....why would she leave North Carolina sure Ricky's family takes good care of her. Come on Brad listen to your heart not other body parts. Move on it will happen when it is suppose to. Leave her, her loss!
what a b!tch....i didnt think brad was great but she obviously did the show for the fame and money. why take in a guy when you clearly have no intention of marrying him? she never would have moved to texas so im sick of her pretending she is the victim.
what a joke! she came across as the sad, suffering one and knowing she wouldn't move etc, still accepted the ring ... nothing but a big show for tv. what a loser.
As long as ABC doesn't give this a-hole his 3rd shot at it....
Emily never had any plans for leaving NC. She was on the program just for the fame of it. Hopefully Brad didn't take anything too seriously as he should have known.
Brad Womack is a tool.
Brad should consider Ricki and Emily and move to NC and open a new Night Club or bar there
emily just wanted the attention she is such a loser brad should have chose ashley h.
Emily is way too immature and seems to have been in it for the fame while Brad fell for her looks. He should have chosen the woman who really was in love with him - Chantal. Such a shame. Emily is a loser for leading him on.
@Macy Ess..I couldn't agree more--this is really a bunch of shallow people looking for fame/money. Most of these twits get exactly what they deserve in my opinion..nothing but 15 mins of "fame".
Brad is a total loser. He will never get it right. If he would appear on the Bachelor again, he still would not pick the right woman. I cannot stand that guy.
He was too love struck by looks to see that she was too unstable at this point for a relationship. The girl had issues, it was apparent. He wanted it so bad but he chose the wrong person...most people saw that. She's looking for something else...that is apparent too. To me, this showed that he isn't all that bright..another thing I saw from the get go. But hey..good luck to both of them.
You can't sell the ring because you have to be together for 2 years. I never did think Emily was that attractive. She is thin with not much of a figure and too dependent on Ricky's family for the house and money. Does she really have a job?
Stupid show to begin with. Women looking for fame and money. Men looking for fame. What a joke.
Ok, their life so move on, I just hope I don't see either one of them returning to the show for another "chance"...He was very up front about staying in Texas. I liked the other girl better, but she's moved on to a real hottie. This shyt rarely ever works out anyway.
Emily has too much class to be with Brad. Kudu's for her to break it off.
I think it was nice to return the ring instead of selling it. But Emily should have backed down if she didn't want to move to Austin Texas. There was no real point behind that.
Another wannabe star with a kid and no husband or man.
It a shame that people actually believe your article full of lies! She is engaged to Brad! This magazine has a new story every week about this couple and they haven't been right yet! Please don't believe this article! Follow @Brew_Crew15 on twitter and you will see that they are still together!!!
