Emily Maynard and Jef Holm can’t catch a break from the tabloids.

Last month, it was Emily supposedly cheating and getting caught sexting another man. This time, The Bachelorette winner is accused of paying him to stay engaged to her.

A source close to the couple denies those claims, of course.

“Everything is fine between them. They are a great couple and the wedding is definitely on,” the insider says, laughing off reports that the engagement is now a “business deal.”

 

“He has moved to Charlotte and is living in an apartment and they are really making a go of things. They are being sensible about their relationship … there is only so much you can learn about someone over the course of the show, so they are getting to know one another better.”

“They are being smart about everything. He adores Emily, and is very involved in Ricki’s life. They are happy. There are no problems between them.”

The source also adds that Jef Holm would never take money from Emily Maynard; not only is that patently false, he has far more than she does anyway.

“His family has so much money. It’s beyond ludicrous to suggest that he would be making some sort of financial deal with Emily.”

So, there you go.

Holm beat out Arie Luyendyk, Jr., and Sean Lowe this summer to win Emily’s final rose on The Bachelorette. ABC named Sean Lowe The Bachelor this week.
