Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple are celebrating their fairytale ending after getting engaged in Bora Bora, so now it’s time for the other elderly lovers to embark on a journey full of happiness, right?

One way to meet potential lovers is on another spinoff, Golden Bachelor in Paradise. After the success of The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette, Bachelor Nation wants to see their Golden faves get another chance at love in their sunset years.

With plenty of stories to tell, wisdom to share, and friendships to be made, Golden Bachelor in Paradise would be more than the drama-intensified younger version of the popular reality show. So, what’s the latest? Scroll down below to read all the information out there!

Has Golden Bachelor in Paradise been confirmed?

No, it hasn’t been, but many people involved in The Bachelor world are excited for the show to, hopefully, happen. Host Jesse Palmer opened up to Swooon, “I am all for Golden Paradise. I think that’d be great,” he said. He did have one request for when the series is about to happen. There are a few locations he doesn’t want the bunch to go to, including “Atlantic City or Naples, Florida.” The former football pro jokingly admitted, “It would have to be somewhere tropical, maybe with air conditioning. That probably would be a good idea for this group.”

Fans of the show are already all in, with someone commenting on The Bachelor subreddit, “I just want the gals from Gerry’s season to meet the guys from Joan’s season. Golden paradise.” Another fan agreed with Palmer, “This but they need a different location. Old folks need access to better amenities and air conditioning. I say put them on a cruise ship together or at a resort in Florida.”

But some even have a completely wild plan in mind: “I want a combined Paradise with the older and younger people from the franchise.”

Who would be on Golden Bachelor in Paradise?

There has only been one season of The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette each, yet there are still plenty of options.

All beloved characters on their respective quests for love, there wouldn’t be much of a show without Susan Noles and Kathy Swarts. But, also, many of The Golden Bachelorette men would rock the fans’ world.

There’s simply no point in a Golden Bachelor in Paradise without Charles Ling on a tropical beach becoming buddies with all the other contestants. Others that would fare well are Jack Lencioni, the man who just loves to go into the pool and have a cannonball or two; Pascal Ibgui, some drama could never hurt; and the affable Gary Levingston.

Another one of Joan’s suitors who was able to capture the hearts of Bachelor Nation is resident “girl dad” Keith Gordon, and he has already told Swooon that he is all in! “I still recommend maybe not putting a bunch of us old people on a beach with our bathing suits,” he joked. But give Keith a nice resort and some pickleball, he’d for sure take the flight to open up his heart again.

When would Golden Bachelor in Paradise premiere?

With not even another Golden Bachelor season that has been announced yet, it could take some time before a Golden Bachelor in Paradise premieres.

However, with so many people begging for this concept to become reality, why not let it happen? Perhaps we’ll be surprised, and it’ll come to us during the summer of 2025. What better timing for Golden Bachelor in Paradise could ever exist?
