One person who’s definitely cheering Blake on from the sidelines? His mom, Emily Moynes. Emily has been RTing Bachelorette content that features her son on Twitter for a while now, and she’s developing a reputation with Bachelor Nation fans for her outspokenness. If Blake makes it to the final four—and spoilers say he does—you’ll get to experience Emily on TV, too. But who is Blake’s mom, exactly? Here’s what you need to know.
Emily Moynes is a life coach
Emily has her own brand called Rebuild a Kick-Ass Life which is focused on helping other people be their best selves. “Emily now counsels others on matters having to do with personal challenges and overcoming the painful reality that is divorce,” her website says. “She specializes in empowering women, helping them to identify, break free, and thrive after enduring toxic relationships.” She also calls herself an “Em-Power coach.” (See what she did there?)
Emily has been divorced twice
She briefly talks about the experience on her website. “Having gone through two divorces myself, I know first hand the challenges and devastation that comes with it,” she writes. “I also know that you repeat what you don’t repair!! Through my personal experience I can help you overcome the ugly reality that comes with divorce and empower you to move on and heal.” She just turned 50 Emily celebrated the milestone with a hilarious Instagram post. “The older you get, the easier it becomes to not give a fuck about stupid shit! It’s liberating! Heloooo 50’s,” she wrote in the caption.
She’s pretty outspoken.
Emily told people to “lighten up” after Blake went on the Chicks in the Office podcast, saying that she was “inundated with messages” from people who asked if they were upset by the “overt sexual innuendos” that he made when talking about his mom. “I was like, ‘Are these people for real?’” she said in an Instagram video. “People need to just lighten the f*** up.” https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLKQHgNAM1U/?igshid=rrpx6r25dhkk
