Paradise is about to get golden.
Bachelor in Paradise has revealed the 10 alums from The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette who are joining the ABC dating competition series for the very first time.
Headed to the beaches of Costa Rica from The Golden Bachelor season one are April Kirkwood, Kathy Swarts, Leslie Fhima and Natascha Hardee. Plus, past hopefuls from The Golden Bachelorette's inaugural season returning to your TV screens will be Charles “CK” King, Gary Levingston, Jack Lencioni, Keith Gordon, Kim Buike and Ralph “RJ” Johnson.
As for what the BIP first-timers can expect from the tropical getaway?
"For the first time, the Goldens are hitting the beaches of Bachelor in Paradise, proving that age is just a number as they bring their experience and a little extra spice to show the younger crowd how it’s done," reads ABC's June 16 announcement. "Bachelor in Paradise is back for its milestone 10th season, bringing a cast of familiar faces from The Bachelor franchise to a brand-new beach in Costa Rica for a second (or third) shot at love."
In addition to host Jesse Palmer and in-house bartender Wells Adams returning, fan-favorite alum Hannah Brown also joins "to spice things up as head of Paradise Relations and to introduce the all-new Champagne Lounge," according to the network. "This season is raising the bar on romance, with every detail perfectly shaken, stirred and sparkling."
Other Bachelor Nation alums headed to Paradise include Dale Moss, Lexi Young, Kat Izzo, Jonathan Johnson, Jess Edwards and many more (keep reading to meet the whole cast).
BIP's Golden reveal comes two months after ABC revealed the next lead of The Golden Bachelor season two. Former professional football player Mel Owens, 66, was announced as the ABC dating series' latest star in April.
The retired NFL linebacker and Detroit native—who played for the Los Angeles Rams for nine seasons after being selected as the ninth overall pick in the 1981 NFL Draft—Mel is a Midwest man at heart, the Disney press release noted, although following his retirement from football, he moved to Orange County, Calif., to pursue a career in law.
After his divorce from wife of 25 years Fabiana Pimentel, the former athlete has remained focused on raising his their two sons and coaching their extracurricular sports teams.
