Emily Maynard's Humorous Take on Unexpected Grandmotherhood

Emily Maynard, known for her time on The Bachelorette, recently addressed her daughter's pregnancy in a lighthearted way.

The Joke

On September 11, Maynard responded to a follower's question about her thoughts on having a baby outside of marriage. In a video shared on her daughter Ricki's Instagram Stories, Maynard joked:

"I'm very against it. I cannot believe anybody would ever do that. Unforgivable."

Ricki, who is 20 years old, played along with the joke, saying:

"My mom is, truthfully, so devastated. She's so upset. She's not excited at all for me to have a baby. She's pissed, actually. She's super angry. She can't even look at me. She doesn't support it at all. She is pissed."

Preparing for the Baby

Despite the humorous tone, it was clear that Maynard was already preparing for the baby's arrival, as Ricki showed off items she had purchased.

Ricki announced her pregnancy on August 26 via Instagram Stories, sharing a sonogram photo and jokingly referencing a comment made by Love Island USA's Huda Mustafa.

Sharing the Journey

In another post, Ricki shared a clip of her baby moving in her belly, expressing her joy and humor about her changing body. She also shared a screenshot of a Google search about pregnancy symptoms, adding a humorous touch to her experience.

The Bigger Picture

Maynard's response to her daughter's pregnancy highlights the importance of family support and the challenges of parenting. It also shows how humor can be used to cope with unexpected life events. The situation raises questions about societal expectations and the changing dynamics of family structures.
