Emily Maynard Offers Tongue-in-Cheek First Response to Daughter Ricki’s Pregnancy

Her deadpan quip is being read as playful support, with posts showing baby gear she has already bought.

Overview

  • On Sept. 11, Maynard appeared in Ricki Hendrick’s Instagram Stories and, with a straight face, said, “I’m very against it… Unforgivable.”
  • Coverage notes the remark was a joke, and Ricki followed by filming a bassinet, bags of baby clothes and a “Grandmothers” book her mom purchased.
  • Ricki, 20, announced in late August that she is expecting a daughter and has shared sonograms and an ultrasound video of the baby moving.
  • This week she posted an anatomy scan from a routine checkup, writing that the baby “loves to hide her face.”
  • Maynard, a former Bachelorette and mother of six, welcomed Ricki at 19 after fiancé Ricky Hendrick died in a 2004 plane crash.
