Jesse Palmer Announces ‘Golden Bachelor in Paradise’ Is A Go In Shocking ‘Paradise’ Season 10 Twist

We are excited to announce that Bachelor Nation is heading back to the beach, and this time, we are bringing the Golden Gals and Golden Guys from The Golden Bachelor and Golden Bachelorette along for the ride!

After a hiatus of over a year since the conclusion of season 9 of Bachelor in Paradise in December 2023, the beloved spin-off is making its highly anticipated return in summer 2025 with a stellar cast and some exciting twists. It seems like we are entering the Golden era of Paradise!

Host Jesse Palmer made some thrilling announcements during the live finale and After The Final Rose event of Season 29 of The Bachelor on March 24. Along with revealing that Zoe McGrady from Season 29 will be joining the cast, along with Jonathon Johnson and Hakeem Moulton from Season 21 of Bachelorette, Palmer introduced the Golden alumni Leslie Fhima and Gary Levingston as the newest members of the Golden Bachelor in Paradise cast.

“This is really happening,” Palmer explained. “For the first time ever Golden men and women will be hitting the beaches of Paradise alongside all of your Bachelor and Bachelorette favorites from seasons past. I don’t know if I ever been more excited for anything ever.”

“I cannot wait,” Fhima, Gerry Turner’s Golden Bachelor runner-up said. “Beaches are my thing. So I’m very excited, and I’m so excited to be with my old friends [and] make new friends…”

Levingston, a contestant on Joan Vassos’ Golden Bachelorette season, said to expect “a lot of dancing in the sand, but more so than that, laying out the sun and just enjoying the moment and looking for love in all the right places.”

“I am most excited to continue my journey, Jesse, because, I think this is my forte, the beach,” Fhima added. “And to see my friends. And Gary and I are good friends!”

Back in September 2024, Decider asked Palmer if he’d be down to host Golden Bachelor in Paradise some day and he said, “Yes! I think that would be an amazing idea. First off, it can’t be in Naples, Florida, or a retirement community. It has to be on a beach, in a tropical paradise type place. There has to be air conditioning. And there has to be an open kitchen with a kitchen cam, so Susan [Noles] and Jack [Lencioni] could just cook all the time. I think it would be amazing. They might actually find love just through their love of the kitchen together, and their personalities. I think it would be great. I am all for that. Let’s do it.”

Golden Bachelorette lead Joan Vassos also told Decider she was rooting for Golden Bachelor in Paradise so her Golden Gals and Golden Guys could find love. “…I think that is a really cute thing, because all the Golden ladies really want to meet the Golden guys. So we need to figure out some way to make that happen,” Vassos said. And now we have!

We always imagined Golden Bachelor in Paradise would be its own show, but with so few single contestants from both seasons, perhaps the time wasn’t right. So what the heck will this hybrid series look like?

Before the finale wrapped, Palmer said, “So how is this whole thing gonna work? You’re gonna have to tune in when a whole new season of Bachelor in Paradise premieres this summer on ABC.”

Earlier this year, Deadline also reported that Bachelor in Paradise is bringing on a new showrunner, Scott Teti, who was an EP on reality series like Claim to Fame and Summer House. So perhaps this is the first step in majorly shaking up the show. After Bachelor in Paradise Season 9 ended in heartbreak here’s hoping Season 10’s cast has better luck finding lasting love at the beach.

The Bachelor Season 29 is now streaming on Hulu.
