‘Bachelor in Paradise’ 2025 Host, Contestants & Bartenders

“Bachelor in Paradise” 2025 is shaking things up with a brand-new cast, a tropical new location, and a pair of familiar faces behind the bar. Jesse Palmer returns as host for season 10, joined once again by fan-favorite bartender Wells Adams. But this season, Adams won’t be mixing drinks alone—”Bachelorette” alum Hannah Brown joins as the new head of “Paradise Relations.” And with contestants from both the flagship “Bachelor” shows and the “Golden” spinoffs, the beach is about to get a lot more interesting.

‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Returns With a New Look—and Familiar Faces

After nearly two years off the air, “Bachelor in Paradise” is finally back—and the 2025 season promises to deliver a fresh mix of tropical drama and unexpected romance. Set in a new Costa Rican location, season 10 will follow a cast of familiar faces from “The Bachelor,” “The Bachelorette,” and— for the first time ever—”The Golden Bachelor” and “Golden Bachelorette.”

ABC teased the twist in a recent press release, saying, “Fan favorites from the Golden seasons are joining the fun, proving once again 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.”

The cast will pack their bags and head to paradise for what ABC calls “a second (or third) shot at love,” with the goal of turning summer flings into something more meaningful. Whether that means soulmates, heartbreak, or an engagement or two, is anyone’s guess—but it’s clear this year’s version is raising the stakes.

Palmer, who has hosted “The Bachelor” since 2021, is back to oversee the chaos. Adams returns to man the bar, and he’ll be joined this time by “Bachelorette” season 15 star Brown, who will be running the new Champagne Lounge and offering emotional support as head of “Paradise Relations.”
