Brad Womack may get down on one knee on the season finale of The Bachelor -- but it won't be the first time.

PHOTOS: Get to know The Bachelor women

Laurel Kagay, who dated the Austin resident on and off for eight years, reveals exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that Womack, 38, asked her to marry him countless times over the course of their relationship. The most recent proposal? Last summer, just weeks before he left to film The Bachelor for the second time.

"Even when we weren't together, he would say how much he loved me and was going to marry me," she tells Us.

After spending the summer trying to woo her back -- including a speech to Kagay, 31, and her mother saying he would "marry her right now" -- he left to film the ABC reality hit, but continued to send Kagay emails.

Now that Womack is telling the world he's found love this time around, Kagay wants to offer a warning to his new gal.

"I'm sure the girl he picked would want to know that he was proposing to another woman right before he started taping the show," Kagay tells Us. "I would want to know."

For more on Womack's romance with Kagay -- including the texts he sent begging her to marry him and details on her relationship with another Bachelor hunk -- pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.

    Wow! I guess reality Will be here soon enough. We all know that as soon as the final episode airs within 2 months we will all see who Brad really is. I believe his intentions are true and he wants a wife and family. Don't let us Bachelor Fans down. My husband thinks I've lost my mind on how much this show gets to me.

    This is same girl who claimed to be Wes Haydens girlfriend. Lets make a note that Wes Hayden from the Bachelorette and Brad Womack the bachelor, both live in Austin Tx. This girl is an obsessed fan who is trying to use these guys to gain her own fame and a few pretty bucks. P.s. Amanda Turner: your friend needs a very experienced shrink and a new hobby

    This woman is DOG ugly. And really, WHO cares? If he asked her to marry him and she said no, then it's perfectly OK that he leaves to film The Bachelor! I'm with the majority, she's just looking for a few mintues of fame and the cover of a magazine....

    Brad is a dog regardless. Emily is too good for him and this ex girlfriend needs to stay out of it.

    so sexy and hot. I've seen her many photos on Positivemate,,com with the username sexyh3434.. anybody can check whether it's her?

    Hey I've been friends with Laurel since highschool. Everything she says is true. You can read all about it on the blog dumbdumberanddior

    This is the same chick that dated Wes Hayden, from Jillian's season of the Bachelorette. I recall she specifically said she and Wes were NOT still together back when the bachelor producers tried to throw Wes under the bus and make him look like a player. She defended Wes... if this were not true, and she's just looking for a bit of fame, then why wouldn't she have tried to screw over Wes two years ago? Something is amiss here.

    Who's really surprised? Most of the show is staged anyway.

    Oh it seems this happens every single time.........gets old

  • February 09, 2011 - 10:12pm Kim Goldstein

    i wouldnt say that brad is my favorite bachelor (a little bit socially awkward and shows absolutely 0 emotion....) but give the guy a break. if he was turned down that many times, something just isnt clicking in his head and he may actually have all the issues he has claimed. i think this ex gf is just trying to get her 15 mins like everyone else is saying. she probably sold her story because he STOPPED texting or emailing her at some point and realized she lost him...anywho, brad deserves to be happy and can do whatever he wants.

    who cares? another chick riding the bachelor wave to get her 30seconds of fame!

  • February 09, 2011 - 7:01pm Rose Marie Herman

    I do not like the fact that you must sign in with Facebook to make comments,,I don't think everyone needs to know one's business,,

  • February 09, 2011 - 5:21pm Julie Engelbrecht

    She is nasty and looking for her two seconds of fame! (what was he thinking? )

  • February 09, 2011 - 5:11pm Patrycja Wewel

    ufffffffff, she is ugly as hell

  • February 09, 2011 - 4:52pm Lindsay Kay Wescott

    There is always some kind of scandal behind these dating shows, its ridiculous. He needs to just stop before he embarrasses himself even more. PATHETIC..

  • February 09, 2011 - 3:22pm Laura Njus Dollarhite

    Sounds like she was playing hard to get and now that he's no longer trying to get... she wants him back. Ridiculous!!

  • February 09, 2011 - 3:19pm Aubrie Von Maur Scott

    He is such a tool. Who in the world would actually marry him?

  • February 09, 2011 - 3:04pm Mary Lee

    This is just another stunt from an exgirlfriend who wants her 50cent in the bachelor situation. Plus she is only in it for the money from the magazine. Every bachelor/bachelorette season, someone ex always comes out to give a drama within it.

  • February 09, 2011 - 2:32pm Hope Marx

    Jenna, I don't think the issue is out quite yet. And as far as this girl goes, it looks like someone is looking for her 15 minutes.
