A Guide To The Bachelor In Paradise 2025 Cast

Bachelor in Paradise is a who’s who of Bachelor Nation — an eclectic blend of early exits and lovelorn runners-up, all on a new playing field as they start their journey for love afresh. Now, in its milestone 10th year, the beachy spin-off is leveling up.

After taking a year off and folding in fan-favorite singles from The Golden Bachelor/ette, there’s a wider pool of contestants than ever before. That also means there’s a lot of Bachelor Nation lore to sort through ahead of the new season, which kicks off on Monday, July 7.

Fortunately, ABC has revealed the starting cast of Season 10. As you’ll remember, it’s typical for additional alums to join the party later, sometimes throwing a wrench into budding beach connections in the process. Some of those late arrivals may have been spotted in a leaked set video, after which spoiler accounts such as Reality Steve and @bachelornation.scoop helped compile the likely attendees.

Trying to keep track of it all? Here’s a guide to the confirmed and reported Bachelor in Paradise cast for 2025.

Zoe McGrady

Zoe McGrady forged a strong connection with Grant Ellis on The Bachelor Season 29. However, she was ultimately sent home during fantasy suites. She’s hopeful about the journey ahead and the change of scenery. As she teased on After the Final Rose, “I was excited for the mansion. As a Pisces, I think I’m more excited for the beach.”

Jonathon Johnson

Jonathan Johnson was actually the very first Bachelor in Paradise cast invite for 2025. His turn on the beach follows a steady run on Jenn’s Bachelorette season, where he made it to fantasy suites but ultimately wasn’t a long-term match for the Season 21 lead. However, they remained good friends after the show. And now, he’s ready to find his person.

“I’m beyond excited,” he told Extra of heading to Paradise. “To be through this process, I trust it now, I know what it has to offer, and I know the people that they pick are some of the best people you could possibly dream of dating.”

Hakeem Moulton

Hakeem’s positive personality — and aversion to spiders — set him apart on Jenn Tran’s Bachelorette season, even though he was only on the show for a few weeks. Last year, he told Bustle that he’d like to meet franchise alum Olivia Lewis on the beach. “She’s beautiful,” he said. “She has a lot of swagger, and she has a lot of class and personality. She could definitely handle me because I’m also a lot of personality.”

Dale Moss

Dale Moss is known for his game-changing turn on Clare Crawley’s 2020 Bachelorette season. ICYMI, Clare fell so hard for Dale that she ended her journey early and left, engaged, with him — after which Tayshia Adams stepped in to resume the season with the remaining men.

Ultimately, Dale and Clare broke up in 2021. Now, five years after The Bachelorette, Dale’s reported trip to Paradise will continue a truly historic Bachelor Nation saga.

Kat Izzo

For several contestants, this will be their second trip to Paradise. After looking for love on Zach Shallcross’ Bachelor season, Kat Izzo traveled to Mexico for Bachelor in Paradise Season 9. She got engaged to John Henry Spurlock, but the pair announced their breakup shortly after the season finale.

Alexe Godin

Alexe Godin made a delightful first impression on Grant — and viewers — when she pulled up to Bachelor Mansion with Linda the No-Drama Llama in The Bachelor Season 29. Though she didn’t make it to hometowns with Grant, her friendly spirit will come in handy during her time on Paradise.

Bailey Brown

Even in her short time on Grant’s Bachelor season, Bailey Brown made her mark thanks to her playful personality and willingness to be vulnerable with Grant — a journey that may well continue on the beaches of Costa Rica.

Lexi Young

Lexi Young left Joey Graziadei’s Bachelor season early after the pair realized they might not be aligned regarding future timelines. But Paradise might give her a chance to find someone with the same family plans as her.

Jeremy Simon

Jeremy Simon was eliminated after hometowns on Jenn’s Bachelorette season.

Spencer Conley

Also heading to Paradise from Jenn’s season is Spencer Conley, who didn’t make it to hometowns. But he won hearts with his sweet call home to his mom upon his departure.

Sam McKinney

A controversial figure from Jenn’s season, Sam McKinney was ultimately eliminated before hometowns as Jenn questioned his sincerity.

Brian Autz

Brian Autz was an early exit from Jenn’s season.

Jessica Edwards

Paradise attendee Jessica Edwards left Joey’s Bachelor season when the Season 28 lead admitted he didn’t reciprocate her feelings for him.

Justin Glaze

After going far on Katie Thurston’s Bachelorette season, Justin Glaze forged a connection with Eliza Isichei on Bachelor in Paradise Season 8. However, a love triangle ensued, and Eliza didn’t choose Justin — and even though she tried to reconnect with him after filming, the pair wasn’t a match.

Riquerdy “Ricky” Marinez

A Night 1 exit on Jenn’s season, Riquerdy “Ricky” Marinez gets another chance to look for love on Paradise.

Kyle Howard

Kyle Howard briefly competed on Katie’s Bachelorette season.

Leslie Fhima

Now onto the Golden crew! Leslie Fhima was Gerry Turner’s runner-up on The Golden Bachelor. “This experience opened my heart and mind, and I’m excited for the next chapter, wherever it may lead,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. Here’s to turning the page in Costa Rica!

Gary Levingston

Golden Bachelorette alum Gary Levingston wasn’t a love match for Joan Vassos, but he developed a brotherhood with his fellow contestants. “I am such a better man than I was because of them,” he said upon his exit from The Golden Bachelorette. No matter what Paradise has in store, it’s clear that Gary will have fun reuniting with his pals — and making new ones! — on the beach.

Natascha Hardee

Even in her short time on the show, Golden Bachelor standout Natascha Hardee won over viewers with her warm spirit — Gerry said she was an exceptional hugger — and her parting speech to producers. Fortunately, the laid-back environment of Paradise may be just what Natascha needs. In fact, a new teaser shows her enjoying some quality time in a pool lounger. As she should!

Kathy Swarts

Another Golden Bachelor alum, Kathy Swarts — known for her ever-quotable “zip it” tiff with castmate Theresa Nist — previously teased on her Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour podcast that she’d like to be Wells Adams’ assistant bartender. Now that she’s officially confirmed for Paradise, maybe she can look for love and dole out drinks?

April Kirkwood

April’s bold personality made her another notable Golden Bachelor alum, like when she staged a pickleball injury for some TLC from Gerry. She’s been ready for Paradise since leaving the mansion. As she previously told Bustle: “I bug the producers all the time. I said, ‘I’ll be there in a second.’ I have the clothes, I’m exercising, I’m working on my butt, I’m working on everything. Things are sagging, I’m lifting. ... I’m ready to find love.”

Charles “CK” King

Though he didn’t go too far on Joan’s Golden Bachelorette season, Charles “CK” King has been open about his dating journey since the show — including a sweet date night with Golden Bachelor alum Sandra Mason.

Jack Lencioni

Jack Lencioni’s tour of Bachelor Mansion with Charles Ling went viral — so you just know he’ll have some delightful commentary about the new Paradise digs, too.

Keith Gordon

Proud “girl dad” Keith Gordon is another Golden Bachelorette alum who is looking for love in Costa Rica.

Kim Buike

Kim Buike capped off his short-lived time on The Golden Bachelorette with his “Mansion Men” song for Joan.

Ralph “RJ” Johnson

Ralph “RJ” Johnson went home on the first night of Joan’s Golden Bachelorette season, so fans didn’t get to know him too well. Fortunately, Paradise has a way of reintroducing early exits in fun, unexpected ways.

Jill Chin

Several rumored cast additions haven’t been announced yet — but fans are hopeful for their presence on the beach. One reported Paradise return is Jill Chin. She didn’t make it too far on Clayton Echard’s Bachelor season, but became a fan-favorite contestant on Bachelor in Paradise Season 8, where she forged a brief connection with Jacob Rapini. While it didn’t work out on the beach, they tried dating after the show but called it quits soon after.

Andrew Spencer

Andrew Spencer also appeared on Bachelor in Paradise Season 8, following his emotional farewell on Katie’s Bachelorette season. He forged several connections during his time on the beach, but quit on his own accord, noting that his heart wasn’t in it after things didn’t work out with castmate Teddi Wright.

Parisa Shifteh

Season 29 alum Parisa Shifteh will reportedly be looking for love — and maybe some cool rocks — on Paradise 2025.

As always, fans can expect more spoilers — and official cast announcements — as Season 10 draws closer. But for now, the Bachelor in Paradise cast for 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting bunch.
