Are they still together? Sorry I haven't watched that season (yet)

Noooooo.
Emily is married to someone else and recently had a baby boy.

Definitely not. They broke up. She became the Bachelorette. Got engaged to her final guy. They broke up. Now she is married to someone she met at church and they have a newborn baby boy (and Ricki her first child.)

no. They broke up not too long. Emily went on to be the Bachelorette and that didn't work out for her either. But she met someone after her stint as Bachelorette and they are now married and just had a baby.

Ok thank you guys, that's interesting.  Also would someone please answer this for me:  What is Brad 2.0's last name? Was he TB twice or is he just the second of two Brads to be TB? If so, what is Brad 1.0's last name? 
TYIA  


Ok, what are your thoughts about this: I'm thinking about a possible common thread for TB—how many of these guys take the girl they immediately like from limo entrance all the way to end and propose and do ANY of them last or do they all fizz out??  Sorry if this had been queried before

Brad Womack. He was the Bachelor twice. He didn't pick anyone the first time around. The second time he chose and proposed to Emily.

I haven't watched every season of the Bachelor so I'm not sure how many of the guys leads were taken with their F1 right out of the limo. Brad and Ben F come to mind.

^Brad 1.0 and Brad 2.0 are the same person. His last name is Womack. The first season he didn't pick anyone, the second he picked Emily and they were engaged for a hot second, and then he briefly dated the F3 (Ashlee) from Sean's season.

None of them last. The only one who married his final pick is Sean. Jason married his second pick though. Lol

It makes it even crazier how the Chantal is f1 rumor was believed for so long! I do wonder if they'll hide it - with Shawn/Kaitlyn, I felt like they couldn't have made it more obvious with them leaving in the "I'm falling in love with you" or Kaitlyn telling Shawn he was the one off-camera. In the earlier years, like with Meredith/Ian, they used to hide it a lot more.

RS did say that Ben became all about Lauren midway thru filming, so I wonder if he was more open to other possibilities or, maybe, was really into another girl initially? It might be like an Ashley/JP situation, where Ashley was initially distracted by Bentley but was 100% all in with JP after their first date. I could see Olivia being Ben's "Bentley".. JMO.

For the 19 bachelor seasons only one lead (Sean) married his F1. I hope Ben does not disappoint and makes it work with his f1. I still think he is too young and may not necessarily be ready for marriage

Thank you all so much for the quick Brad Womack history lesson! 

Yes, I think you are right. He gave Olivia the FIR too. :Nod:

Yes ok but Catherine was not Sean's initial infatuation straight out of the limo is that correct? If it is, maybe that is why they are lasting because it wasn't only all about looks and a 10 minute conversation. ??  Well then, Ben's may work too because his FIR is gone.
