Congratulations to Emily Maynard and her husband Tyler Johnson. "The Bachelorette" star gave birth to her second child, but her first with Johnson. The 29-year-old announced the news Thursday and posted a photo of her and her newborn son to her Instagram page. "God is good," she said. "My heart can't even handle it."
The baby's name has not yet been revealed, and Maynard did not say exactly when the child was born. The newborn joins Maynard's first daughter from a previous relationship, Ricki, 10. Maynard was pregnant with her daughter when her fiancé, NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick, died in a plane crash at age 24 in 2004, E! reported. Maynard was the first single mother to appear as the star of "The Bachelorette," in season 8 in 2012.
Maynard and Johnson met at church and got engaged in 2014. In January the new mom told Charlotte, N.C.-based WCCB that she was expecting a boy. "We're excited. I told Tyler that if he gets to pick the last name for everybody, then I should get to pick the first name and if he wants to pick the first name, then he can take my last name and be a Maynard. He did not like that," she said. "So, we're still compromising."
