But how does Em’s former Season 15 fiance Brad Womack feel about the whole thing? While he hasn’t exactly run to a press junket to discuss the matter, sources close to Emily say he has addressed it.

According to Us Weekly, Brad “gave her his blessing.”

Awww. Is it terrible that we kind of want him to show up this season? A la Shawntel Newton on Ben Flajnik’s season of The Bachelor?
