Johnson, a 27-year-old management consultant, reportedly popped the question on January 4 with five diamond-studded bands.
"I've had enough engagement rings!" Maynard told Us.
Maynard was previously engaged to the late Ricky Hendrick, fifteenth-season The Bachelor star Brad Womack and eighth-season The Bachelorette winner Jef Holm.
"We definitely are looking to get married sooner rather than later," the former reality TV star said. "No point in waiting!"
Maynard has an eight-year-old daughter Ricki, who is apparently thrilled about her mother getting married.
"We're really excited!!" Maynard added. "He proposed to me at home and gave both Ricki and me rings. It was so sweet! Ricki loves him more than she likes me!"
Maynard reportedly met Johnson a few months before she began filming The Bachelorette in March 2012, however, she did not start dating Johnson until she split from Holm in October of that year following two months of reports their relationship had been on the rocks.
Some of the speculation had been that Maynard cheated on Holm while other rumors claimed Holm was just hungry for the limelight.
The pair reportedly reunited and decided to give their relationship another shot in December 2012 but things fell apart again later that month. A source told Us at the time Holm ultimately "crushed her."
Maynard's past engagement to Womack ended in 2011 with the former Bachelor admitting he had "dodged a bullet." The couple began encountering problems shortly following ABC's March 2011 broadcast of the show's season finale.
Prior to her stint on reality TV, Maynard had been engaged to Hendrick, a former NASCAR driver who died in a plane crash in 2004 when she was pregnant with their daughter.
