**Golden Bachelor Stars Arrive in Paradise, Set to Shake Up ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ Season**

**COSTA RICA –** The serene beaches of “Bachelor in Paradise” are about to get a golden glow! Fan-favorite contestants from “The Golden Bachelor” and “The Golden Bachelorette” have officially joined the cast, bringing a new dynamic to the popular reality dating show.

In an exclusive sneak peek obtained by Us Weekly, the “Goldens,” including Kathy Swarts, Natascha, Leslie, April, Jack, RJ, Kim, CK, Keith, and Gary, were greeted with cheers by the original “Bachelor in Paradise” cast as they arrived on the beach. Kathy Swarts expressed her excitement in a confessional, stating, “The Goldens are here, baby! We are about to get turnt.”

The Golden alums wasted no time mingling, quickly sparking connections with the existing cast. Natascha, for example, revealed a burgeoning connection with RJ, sharing that she had already sat on his lap.

He emphasized the Golden cast’s wealth of life experience, which could provide valuable insights and advice to the younger contestants.
