First known for her appearance on Brad Womack's Bachelor season and then as the eighth Bachelorette, Maynard's tragic past and sweet disposition captured the hearts of the nation. Before reality TV, Maynard was already mom to Ricki — born June 29, 2005 — whose father, NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick, was killed in a plane crash in 2004 just months after proposing to Maynard and days before she discovered she was pregnant. After two engagements resulting from the reality shows, Maynard ultimately found love with Tyler Johnson, whom she met before entering Bachelor Nation. The two are parents to three boys: Jennings, born on July 26, 2015, Gibson, born on Sept. 16, 2016, and Gatlin, born Nov. 12, 2017.
