More Bachelor Franchise Stars Sign On To Bachelor In Paradise Season 10 (Who's In The Cast So Far?)

With Bachelor in Paradise season 10 airing in summer 2025, the first six contestants have already been announced. The season finale of The Bachelor season 29 recently aired on ABC, and host Jesse Palmer made it official. He confirmed that the show would be back this summer, named a few of the first contestants, and shocked audiences with a wild new twist. This season will feature two separate beaches. One beach will feature the usual Bachelor Nation singles, while the other will feature contestants from The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette.

While The Bachelor and The Bachelorette focus on the romantic search of one person, Bachelor in Paradise is a fun ensemble show. This season of the show will be double the entertainment, as it will include Golden Bachelor contestants and more potential love stories of all ages. ABC has already announced the first six contestants who'll be on the beach for Bachelor in Paradise season 10 this summer. Each contestant has had their own unique journey with the franchise. Let's see who the first six contestants are, and what there is to know about them.

Leslie Fhima

65 Years Old

The first three contestants of Bachelor in Paradise season 10 were announced during The Bachelor season 29 finale, and among them was 65-year-old The Golden Bachelor contestant Leslie Fhima, a dance instructor from Minnesota. She made her television debut as a contestant vying for 72-year-old Gerry Turner's final rose on The Golden Bachelor season 1. After a season of dates, Leslie made it to Gerry's final two. Though he told her she was "the one," he turned around and gave his final rose to 70-year-old Theresa Nist instead.

Since leaving The Golden Bachelor season 1, Leslie has maintained close friendships with multiple former cast members, including Theresa. Theresa even traveled to Minnesota at one point to visit Leslie. Leslie was also briefly rumored to be interested in Jordan Heller, a contestant from Joan Vassos' season of The Golden Bachelorette. It'll be interesting to see if Jordan appears as a contestant on Bachelor in Paradise season 10 as well.

Gary Levingston

65 Years Old

Another of the first three named Bachelor in Paradise season 10 contestants was Gary Levingston, a 65-year-old retired finance executive who hails from Palm Desert, California. Gary is the godson of legendary musician Tina Turner and shares his godmother's love of music. Not only does Gary have a beautiful singing voice, but he can dance too. He impressed Joan with his dance moves on a group date during The Golden Bachelorette season 1, but ultimately didn't win her heart. He'll get a chance to show off his moves on the beach this summer.

Zoe McGrady

27 Years Old 

The first young Bachelor in Paradise season 10 contestant was 27-year-old Zoe McGrady, a model and tech engineer. She appeared on The Bachelor season 29 and was one of Grant Ellis' final three. Grant barely seemed to notice Zoe for much of the season. In addition to never getting a solo date, Zoe didn't get much individual attention from Grant. It was easy to forget Zoe was even there most of the time, so it was pretty surprising when she received a hometown date and when she made it to the final three. He eliminated her before the final two.

Jonathan Johnson

28 Years Old

Jonathan Johnson, a 28-year-old creative director, appeared on Jenn Tran's season of The Bachelorette. He caught her attention when he stepped out of the limousine on night one dressed as a hospital patient. It was a nod to Jenn's career as a physician's assistant. The cute gimmick caught her eye, but he couldn't win her heart. Fans were shocked when Jenn and Jonathan appeared in a TikTok together, but the two made it clear they're just friends. Perhaps Jonathan will find love on the beach.

Hakeem Moulton

29 Years Old

Hakeem Moulton, another former contestant from Jenn's season of The Bachelorette, was announced as another Bachelor in Paradise season 10 cast member. The medical device salesman is memorable for letting a tarantula crawl on him during a group date, despite his paralyzing fear. Jenn ended up sending him home during week three, but he'll have another chance at finding love on network television this summer.

Hakeem already has his eye on someone. He told Us Weekly he wanted to meet Olivia Lewis. Olivia made her television debut during Zack Shalecross' season of The Bachelor. She also participated in Bachelor in Paradise season 9, but she left single after several failed relationships. It'll be interesting to see Olivia's potential connection with Hakeem if she returns to the beach this summer.

Kat Izzo

28 Years Old

John and Kat were arguably the season's most unexpected couple because they seemed to have little in common. However, they were surprised to find that they had undeniable chemistry, and the couple got engaged during the season finale. Sadly, the relationship didn't last. This summer, she'll get another chance to find love on the beach during Bachelor in Paradise season 10.
