'The Bachelorette' Emily Maynard and Jef Holm Deny 'BOGUS' Cheating Allegations
By all accounts the engaged "Bachelorette" couple, Emily Maynard and Jef Holm, seem to be very happy together. They've been tweeting about how in love they are and have been caught kissing in a Charlotte grocery store, but this week's Us Weekly claims Maynard has been unfaithful to Holm.
"It's one hundred percent not true," Maynard told People magazine exclusively of the cheating accusations.
The tabloid claimed that over the Aug. 18 weekend, Holm took Maynard's phone and discovered she had been having an affair with another man, reported Us Weekly.
According to the article, the scene took place at a vacation rental in Myrtle Beach, S.C., where Holm took Maynard and her seven-year-old daughter Ricki to meet his extended family.
"There were texts and pictures: 'Let's do this and that to each other,'" a source told Us Weekly, according to WetPaint. "Jef and Emily went into a bedroom and were yelling. He said 'you've been f*cking cheating on me for months!"
Maynard did not want to lose Holm and pleaded with him, the source said, but he told her to "pack her sh*t and get the f*ck out." Us Weekly claimed Ricki and Maynard left the family compound at 1 a.m.
Holm scoffed at the comment and said, "They must have packed me up, too." According to Holm, he left the vacation at the same time as Maynard.
"It's funny to me," Holm told People magazine. "We were in a gated community in a private home with just my brothers and sisters. It's just bogus a 'source' would [say] we were fighting. None of that is true."
The couple is now back in Charlotte, where Holm said he's spent the past two days looking at apartments and condos to move into so he can be closer to his fiancée and her daughter.
After dropping off Ricki (who's now in the first grade) at school together on Wednesday, Maynard and Holm decided to respond to the cheating rumors because, according to People magazine, "they were so stunned by the false claims."
"I have never been more in love or felt more confident about our relationship," Maynard said. "We're so excited about the future and to be back in Charlotte and things are actually happening - looking at places to live and going to school. I'm happier than I've ever been."
