When Kathy Swarts first stepped out of the limo on The Golden Bachelor, fans weren’t sure what to make of her. She was sharp-tongued, confident, and unapologetically real. Now, as she joins the cast of Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, Kathy is proving that second acts in love — and life — are not only possible, but often the most exciting.
In an exclusive early clip from the new season, Kathy is seen popping a bottle of champagne with a smirk as she tells the camera, “I’m here to find love — at least once, maybe two or three times.” Behind her, a shirtless Keith lounges in a hot tub, flashing the kind of smile that makes you believe anything could happen under the Costa Rican sun.
But Kathy’s confidence comes from more than witty one-liners. In her podcast with Susan Noles, she’s shown another side of herself: thoughtful, loyal, and deeply curious about love at every age. She’s become a voice for a generation that’s often left out of romantic reality TV — the women who have lived, lost, and dared to love again.
This season of Bachelor in Paradise might have younger contestants and newer flames, but Kathy Swarts brings the fire. And if the teaser is any indication, she might just steal the whole show — and maybe a few hearts along the way.
