Ricki Hendrick, daughter of ‘Bachelorette’ star Emily Maynard Johnson, welcomes baby girl Romi

Ricki Hendrick is officially a mom.

The 20-year-old daughter of former Bachelorette star Emily Maynard Johnson and the late race car driver Ricky Hendrick welcomed her first child, a baby girl named Romi.

On January 23, Ricki shared a black-and-white Instagram snapshot taken moments after delivery, her face nuzzled against her swaddled newborn. She also posted a heartwarming image of her mom, Emily, and stepdad, Tyler Johnson, gazing lovingly at the little one. In a simple caption, she wrote, “Best day ever.”

Though she hasn’t revealed Romi’s father, Ricki confirmed the baby’s name by updating her Instagram profile to read, “romis mom.”

Ricki has been open about the challenges of pregnancy. In November, she shared the brutal reality of her mornings on her Instagram Stories, telling fans that waking up multiple times only to be sick had become almost daily.

She wrote, “Guys. Being pregnant is miserable. I woke up at 2 for no reason, threw up 30 mins later, fell back asleep, woke up at 3:45, threw up again, fell BACK ASLEEP, WOKE UP AGAIN, THROWING UP NOW BC I’M HUNGRY, but ofc I can’t eat anything bc it will prolong the cycle.” She added, “This happens almost daily.”

Even with the discomfort, Ricki stayed excited to finally meet her baby in person, noting, “Everyone was right, the last few weeks are the longest. I’m so excited to see her not on an ultrasound screen.”
