Gary Levingston was never flashy. During his time on The Golden Bachelor, he quietly stood out — a man of integrity, steady warmth, and open-hearted kindness. While other contestants made bold moves for the spotlight, Gary made deeper connections. And now, as he prepares to join Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, fans are rooting for him louder than ever.
His journey back to reality TV romance isn’t just another shot at love — it’s a story about resilience. After being eliminated from Joan’s season of The Golden Bachelorette, Gary faded into the background for a bit. But behind the scenes, his fanbase only grew stronger. His humility, his big laugh, and his undeniable chemistry with other contestants (especially Natascha, as the teaser reveals) have made him one of the most anticipated returns of the summer.
In Paradise, Gary is stepping into unfamiliar territory: a beach setting filled with younger suitors, fast-shifting relationships, and emotional curveballs. But if anyone can navigate the unpredictable with grace, it’s him. “I’m not here for games,” he says in the clip. “I’m here for something real.”
For viewers who fell in love with The Golden Bachelor because it honored maturity, sincerity, and real emotion, Gary’s return is more than just a casting decision. It’s a signal that love stories don’t end at 60. Sometimes, they’re just beginning.
