With the previous season ofBachelor In Paradiseconcluding in December 2023, it’s time to shift focus towardsthe show’s long-awaited return.Last season, audiences watched as 18 contestants found love, lust, and drama in the Mexican tropics. Several couples seemed viable for a lasting relationship, including Aven Jones and Kylee Russell, Eliza Isichei and Aaron Bryant, and John Henry Spurlock and Kat Izzo. Of these couples, Eliza and Aaron and John and Kat left engaged. While their connections ran deep, these romances hit turbulence post-filming.

John and Kat, despite plans to move to San Diego, split amicably and shared this news days after the finale. While the romances were unfortunately short-lived,Bachelor In Paradiseseason 10promisesa new host of opportunities and contestants.
