The Bachelorette 2012 winner is Jef Holm.
Jef was then a fan favorite. He's a Utah entrepreneur with a fun sense of humor and a quirky sense of style.
In the end of Season 8, loyal fans of the show got just what they wanted: a dream proposal that brought tears to the eyes of even the cynics. Learn more about the tearjerker finale at Nj.com.
Emily and Jef tried to salvage a fledgling relationship off the show, but the pair split within three months. After their very public breakup, Maynard was inundated by the media. Salacious tabloid stories alleging cheating and other accusations were eating away at her.
Eventually, the dust settled and Emily moved on, marrying Tyler Johnson in 2014. They now have two sons together. Emily is already a mom to an 11-year-old daughter named Ricki whom she had with her late fiancé, who died in 2004.
After 15 years and plenty of public pressure for greater diversity, ABC has named the first African-American to headline one of its hit dating series.
Rachel Lindsay, 31, a Texas lawyer and popular contestant on the current season of The Bachelor, was announced as the next Bachelorette. Find out more at USA Today.
