Less than a month before Bachelor in Paradise makes its return to ABC, the first batch of beachgoers have finally been confirmed.
The 16 cast members who will be first to hit the beach in Costa Rica are mostly from Joey Graziadei’s season (Jess and Lexi), Grant Ellis’ season (Alexe, Bailey and Zoe) and Jenn Tran’s season (Brian, Hakeem, Ricky, Jeremy, Spencer, Sam M. and Jonathan). The wildcards include season 16 Bachelorette winner and Clare Crawley’s ex-fiancé, Dale Moss, Bachelorette season 17 runner-up, Justin Glaze, fellow season 17 alum Kyle Howard, who Katie Thurston sent home week 2, and Bachelor season 27 alum and BiP season 9 star Kat Izzo.
The Golden Bachelor’s Leslie Fhima and The Golden Bachelorette’s Gary Levingston were previously announced as the first-ever Golden cast members on BiP. It’s unclear whether the senior stars will solely date each other or find a connection with a younger cast member.
“This happens all the time in the real world. Look at Bill Belichick right now. It’s happening in front of us,” bartender Wells Adams told Us Weekly on set in Costa Rica about a potential age-gap romance. “I don’t know if it will, but I think it’ll be cool to have the Goldens around. The thing that I love about The Golden Bachelor so much is they’ve lived so much more life that their advice, their conversations, the stakes for them are just so much bigger. I think that’ll be a good thing for them to impart on all these young kids.”
Bachelor in Paradise premieres on ABC Monday, July 7, at 8 p.m. ET. Keep scrolling to meet the cast of season 10:
