New reports are claiming that Emily Maynard, former star of The Bachelorette is expecting a son. She announced that she and her husband Tyler Johnson would be raising a boy in July, in an interview with WCCB Charlotte News.

In March, Maynard teased the sex of the baby, her second child, with a picture of her gender reveal cake. She named her first child, daughter Ricki, who's 9-years-old, after her late father, Ricky Hendrick.

However, Maynard says that she and Johnson are still trying to decide on a good name for their son. She said that they have had to compromise on the baby's name.

"I told Tyler that [if] he gets to pick the last name for everybody, then I should pick the first name and if he wanted to pick the first name, then it can take my last name and be a Maynard!" joked Maynard, who is 28 years of age.

The mom to be has never had the pleasure of being a parent with a partner. She was devastated to learn that her fiancé was killed in plane crash just days before she discovered that she was pregnant with her daughter in 2004.

She states that it will be very different for her to have someone there to help her. "I raised Ricki by myself, and it's just been the two of us for so long," she says.

She says that when Ricki was born, she was not really present and she did not really get to enjoy "all those sweet baby moments" as much as she could have.

On that note, Maynard is happy to be experiencing motherhood again.
