"Emily Maynard&amp;apos;s life just got a whole lot rosier!\r\nThe North Carolina single mom -- who was famously proposed to by Brad Womack on ABC&amp;apos;s The Bachelor in March 2011 -- is ready to move on after their nasty split, and will search for love again as the network&amp;apos;s newest Bachelorette, multiple sources confirm in the new Us Weekly.\r\n\r\nMaynard, 25, has signed on for the show&amp;apos;s eighth season, and will start filming in March. It was a &amp;quot;change of heart&amp;quot; for Maynard after months of playing hard-to-get with ABC, a Maynard pal tells Us. &amp;quot;She&amp;apos;s looking for a man -- not a little boy.&amp;quot;\r\nThough Bachelor and Bachelorette fans are used to seeing the show&amp;apos;s exploits carried out in a posh Los Angeles mansion where the contestants bunk together, a second insider says production for the series will relocate to Charlotte, N.C., where Maynard raises her young daughter, Ricki.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The guys will be flying to her. We&amp;apos;re switching things up a bit,&amp;quot; hints an insider.\r\nMaynard&amp;apos;s upcoming search for love begins nearly one year after she and Womack, 38, called off their engagement. Shortly after their split, Maynard endured a barrage angry calls from her ex, but insisted there was no chance of a reconciliation.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I wanted to be married and have more children, but I doubted he was going to still want to be with me,&amp;quot; she told Bachelor host Chris Harrison in an emotional July 2011 interview. &amp;quot;As a single mom, I don&amp;apos;t have the luxury of saying &amp;quot;we&amp;apos;ll figure it out when we get there.&amp;quot; I need that reassurance that he&amp;apos;d want to be with me six weeks down the road much less six years.&amp;quot;\r\nFor more on why Maynard said yes and what to expect on the new season, check out the new Us Weekly, on stands Friday."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
