Emily Maynard, known for her time on The Bachelor, has celebrated an exciting new chapter in her life: becoming a grandmother.

On Friday, her 20-year-old daughter, Ricki Hendrick, revealed on Instagram the joyful news of her first child’s arrival.

In a heartfelt joint post, Ricki and her husband, Tyler Johnson, shared hospital snapshots with their newborn, expressing, “We became grandparents today! Words can’t capture this incredible feeling. This is love,” accompanied by a Bible verse, “1 John 4:7-11.”

Earlier, Hendrick posted two monochrome images from the hospital. One featured a medical professional presenting her newborn, wrapped snugly, as she lay resting.

The second photo captured a tender moment with her stepfather cradling the baby, while her mother lovingly touched the infant’s arm.

‘Best day ever,’ she captioned the precious pair of snapshots.

It comes after she took to social media in August to announce her pregnancy with an ultrasound photo.

According to Us Weekly, she wrote in another post at the time, ‘My heart is so full, yet my stomach is so empty because she hates all food. I’m convinced,’ revealing she was having a baby girl.

Hendrick’s dad, Maynard’s fiancé Ricky Hendrick, died in a 2004 plane crash when he was 24-years-old.

Maynard didn’t find out she was pregnant until after his untimely death, and gave birth at 19 years old.

Hendrick’s full name is Josephine Riddick Hendrick, but her mom has called her Ricki in honor of her late father. 

The mother-of-six – who shares five young kids with Johnson – appeared on The Bachelor in 2011.

She beat the other contestants and was engaged to Brad Womack by the end of season 15, but the couple split shortly after the finale.

Maynard later became The Bachelorette in 2012’s season eight. She got engaged to Jef Holm, but they also split before walking down the aisle.

She married Johnson in 2014 and they share sons Jennings, 10, Gibson, nine, Gatlin, eight, Jones, three, and daughter Nola, five.

Hendrick shared two black and white photos from the hospital, including one of her stepfather Tyler Johnson holding the newborn as her mother looked on and affectionately placed a hand on the baby’s arm

The new mom also shared a photo of a medical professional holding her swaddled newborn at her head as she rested in bed after giving birth

In a joint Instagram post, Maynard and husband Tyler Johnson shared photos holding the baby in the hospital and wrote, ‘We became grandparents today!! The feeling is inexpressible. This is love’

Following Hendrick’s pregnancy announcement, Maynard took to social media to share her reaction to the news.

The now-grandmother is open about her strong Christian faith, but revealed she was not upset that her daughter was having a baby out of wedlock.

Hendrick posted a question from a follower who asked what her family thinks of her having a ‘baby outside marriage.’

Maynard appeared in a video and facetiously responded, ‘Very against it. I cannot believe anybody would ever do that. Unforgivable.’

Her daughter playfully piled on, ‘My mom is truthfully so devastated, she’s so upset,’ while showing baby items her mom bought in anticipation of her grandchild.

‘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,’ she joked.
