A Bachelorette insider told E! News that Emily and her current boyfriend Tyler Johnson met in church, and apparently, the pair is "very serious." Aww! How exciting!
The source also dished that Tyler -- who works for the Automotive Development Group in Charlotte, NC and also lists philanthropy and humanitarian efforts under his interests on LinkedIn, according to Zap2It.com -- has "met her daughter, Ricki, and they're already like a little family unit. They take each other to weddings and other functions and will definitely be spending the holidays together." Love it! Good for them!
Still, Emily's reportedly not quite ready to come out with her new relationship. Well, after endured two heartbreaking splits -- in front of the entire world, no less! -- I could understand why she would be super gun-shy about going public with Tyler ... Not to mention letting him put a ring on it again!
The source cites her "two public, broken engagements" as the reason Emily is "definitely going to hold off on getting engaged again until they are very, very sure and very close to marriage." (Uh, well, that's sort of the point of getting engaged, right? But I digress ...) At any rate, taking a measured, pragmatic, and private approach makes perfect sense. I wouldn't doubt Emily's nearest and dearest most definitely understand, and really, in the end, all that matters is that she does what's right and what makes her and Ricki truly happy.
Do you think Tyler could be the one for Emily? Do you agree it's smart for them to hold off on going public and getting engaged? By Nevel
