Emily Maynard Dating Ex-Boyfriend Brett J Barniske- Bertolami Behind Bachelor Brad's Back?

This week, Bachelor couple Brad Womack and Emily Maynard made it onto the covers of two tabloids, InTouch ("Emily's caught with another man, Bachelor betrayed") and People ("Brad and Emily's drama: They are thinking about having a baby).

Whether this is true or not, we have no idea, but, InTouch cover story claims Emily has been secretly setting up dates with an ex-boyfriend - Brett J. Barniske- Bertolami, who owns a car dealership in Charlotte, N.C.

When asked about his relationship with Emily, Brett told the tabloid, "Emily is a real sweetheart and I adore her. I have nothing bad to say about her. I would do anything in the world for her. No further comment."

A source tells InTouch Emily dated Brett before going on The Bachelor, and that she had scheduled a dinner date with Brett just days before her on-air reunion with Brad. But, at the last minute, she cancelled it because she got sick.

After Emily left for LA to shoot AFTR, Brett was spotted in a bar in Charlotte, showing pictures of Emily on his phone. "Some of the pictures were a couple of years old," the source adds. "It seems like Brett knows her pretty well."

What do you think? Could there be any truth to this whatsoever?
