Plenty of familiar faces from the Golden Bachelor and Golden Bachelorette are getting another chance at love with season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise.
After fans watched Grant Ellis get engaged to Juliana Pasquarosa during The Bachelor season 29 finale on Monday, March 24, host Jesse Palmer announced that some of the stars from the Golden versions of the franchise are hitting the beach to find love.
“So this is really happening. For the first time ever, Golden men and women will be hitting the beaches of Paradise alongside all of your Bachelor and Bachelorette favorites of seasons past,” Jesse, 46, announced. “So how is this whole thing going to work? You’re going to have to tune in to find out when an all-new Bachelor in Paradise premieres this summer.”
He also brought out Golden cast members Gary Levingston and Leslie Fhima to tease the new season, as well as Zoe McGrady from Grant’s season.
“I am so excited. I cannot wait,” Leslie, 67, said about the upcoming show. “The beach is my thing … I am so excited to be with my old friends, with my new friends and maybe find love.”
Meanwhile, Gary, 65, added that fans can expect “a lot of dancing in the sand.” He continued, “But more so then that laying out in the sun and looking for love in all the right places.”
While Jesse did not reveal who else will star on Bachelor in Paradise, it is likely that many of the contestants from Gerry Turner‘s debut season of The Golden Bachelor and Joan Vassos‘ season of The Golden Bachelorette will join Leslie and Gerry on the beach in hopes of finding love.
Bachelor in Paradise has typically aired every summer, though took a break in 2024. Details of the new season have been kept under wraps, though Jesse has been open about wanting to do a Golden version of the spinoff show.
In October 2024, he told Us Weekly that he would “absolutely” like to see stars from The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette appear on Bachelor in Paradise. “I believe in manifestation. I think it would be so great. I mean, the cast from Gerry’s season, the cast from Joan’s season, it’s incredible,” he told the outlet at the time.
“And as long as it’s not Atlantic City or Naples, Florida — not a retirement place — it has to be a tropical beach,” the host continued about where the show might be filmed. “And personally, I think you should have air conditioning.”
While Jesse didn’t share too many details about season 10, he said that there had been some ideas that were “being pitched around.”
“I know there’s a lot of different stuff sort of in the Bachelor verse that they’re putting into this,” he continued. “It sounds like a lot of the old, and it sounds like there are some new ideas being floated in as well. I’m really excited. I really missed going to the beach this past year. Wells [Adams] and I were hanging out a little while ago and we were both talking about how stoked we were to go back. So I can’t wait for that time to come.”
