Meet the Full Cast of 'Bachelor in Paradise' 2025 originally appeared on Parade.
Bachelor in Paradise is coming back with a big golden bang!
As fans know, The Bachelor summer spinoff, which didn't air last year amid falling ratings and fan criticism, will feature stars from the Golden franchise for the first time for season 10, premiering on Monday, July 7, on ABC.
Traditionally, BIP has been a show with young, scantily-clad castoff contestants from various The Bachelor and The Bachelorette seasons getting a second chance at love. But producers hit the pause button last year after viewers seemed weary of silly storylines. Then came a lifeline idea. Since fall 2023, there have been The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette seasons, so producers smartly decided to add senior stars to the mix in Paradise's new Costa Rica location.

Reportedly, the young and old stars will be looking for potential partners on two separate beaches, and cameras will alternate between the two. But the show's bartender, Wells Adams, previously told Parade that he'd love to see some age-gap romances in Paradise if the format permits. "There's a world in which some young girl falls for this silver fox zaddy and they live happily ever after. Or the other way, where some cougar takes down some hot gym bro," he says.
And as previous seasons have shown, there are sure to be surprises. Will Paradise Season 10's golden glow give the show new life, and will the younger contestants step it up? Read on to see Parade's list of all the stars, both official and rumored!

Alexe stood out on Grant Ellis' season 29 of The Bachelor by bringing her pet, Linda the llama. Before she was officially named to the BIP cast, she told Parade she would love to bring Linda to the beach. "I don't know if llamas are allowed to be in the sun like that, but [maybe] we can have her on standby," she said. "Any time anyone has a little emotional moment, they can go to her." Tune in to Paradise to see if this actually happens!
April Kirkwood

The petite blonde did her "chicken dance" on Gerry Turner's inaugural The Golden Bachelor season before being eliminated in Week 4. As Parade previously reported, April had previously claimed she'd had a long-term affair with famed singer Frankie Valli!
