The 26-year-old single mother (she has a six-year-old daughter named Ricki) will have her pick of 25 bachelors on season 8 of The Bachelorette, premiering May 14. One big qualifier for her potential husband is that he be a good father figure.

"I wish more than anything that her dad was still here but that's not the case," says Emily, who became engaged in February 2004.
