He didn't find true love on The Bachelor, but it seems Brad Womack found his happily ever after in his own backyard. In his hometown of Austin, Texas, Brad found his new girlfriend, whom he introduced to Bachelor Nation on the July 20 episode of The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons—Ever!
Unlike Alex Michel, Brad Womack appreciated the retelling of his Bachelor journey on The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons—Ever! Even though he wasn't a fan favorite, Brad still appeared on the episode this week and gave viewers an update about his life. Brad originally starred on season 11 of The Bachelor in 2007. At the end of the journey, he made Bachelor history by choosing no one. On the recent Bachelor GOAT episode, both Jenni Croft and DeAnna Pappas expressed their shock after reliving the moment with the audience. Each was convinced that Brad was choosing them. In the end, both Jenni and DeAnna found their own fairy tale without Brad. Brad was then invited back for a second try at being The Bachelor on season 15. After having gone through extensive therapy to help overcome his fear of commitment, he said this time he was ready for love. In the end, he chose Emily Maynard, but the relationship didn't last long after the show ended. Both Brad and Emily agreed that they were just two different people, though Brad did admit that the breakup was very difficult for him.
Although things didn't end well for Brad on The Bachelor, he's doing well today. While chatting with Chris Harrison during the Bachelor GOAT, the host jokingly offered Brad the opportunity to be the Bachelor for the third time, but Womack immediately shot him down, revealing he has a girlfriend. He said, "I am very pleased to say, I am very much in love, so I spend a lot of time with my new lady friend. We've been together for a while and yes I'm very happy. I hope she is too." Brad then brought his new girlfriend, Jena Mays, on camera and revealed they had been dating for three years. They met through the gym and had an instant connection. While Jena admitted she knew who Brad was when she saw him, she said it was no big deal. The same day that Jena broke up with her boyfriend at the time, Brad asked her out. They've been together ever since.
As for Emily, she too found love. After a stint on The Bachelorette, she found love outside of Bachelor Nation. She married Tyler Johnson and the pair have 3 children together in addition to Emily's daughter, Ricki. Emily has said she feels her husband is heaven sent, as he shares the exact same birthday as her former husband, Ricky Hendrick.
Even though Brad has stayed out of the spotlight, it seems he's doing well. Fans of the former Bachelor can visit his bars next time they're in Austin. Brad owns The Dogwood, The Dizzy Rooster, and The Chuggin' Monkey alongside his twin brother Chad Womack and friend Jason Carrier.
