The popular spinoff Bachelor In Paradise is finally back for season 7 this summer on ABC. After taking a hiatus last year due to the pandemic, this season kicks off with new and returning faces from Bachelor Nation. Fans know that Bachelor In Paradise brings drama, romance, and unexpected relationships with franchise favorites of all ages.
When contestants enter the familiar Playa Escondida Resort in Sayulita, Mexico, they have no idea what they're in for. People from all seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are looking for the same thing – a chance at love. For some contestants, it's their first time experiencing Paradise. Other contestants who have been on Bachelor In Paradise before are hoping for another shot at romance.
Each year that a show from The Bachelor franchise is on, it seems like the cast is getting younger and younger. Paradise is a place for the previous cast members to find their match and mingle with people from other seasons of the show. In the current season of Bachelor In Paradise, Kenny Braasch officially became the oldest person to enter the beach at 40 years old. Let's take a look back at some of the oldest Bachelor Nation contestants who have appeared on Bachelor In Paradise.
Kenny Braasch broke the record as the oldest person to appear on Bachelor In Paradise in season 7. He is a newer member of Bachelor Nation and was a contestant on Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams' season of The Bachelorette last year. While Kenny didn't win either of their hearts in the end, he is using his time in Paradise to pursue 25-year-old Mariela "Mari" Pepin from Matt James' season of The Bachelor.
Clare Crawley is a long-time veteran of Bachelor Nation. She was a runner-up on Juan Pablo Galavis' season of The Bachelor and starred on seasons 1 and 2 of Bachelor In Paradise at age 33. In 2018, Clare was on The Bachelor Winter Games spinoff and became engaged to Benoit Beausejour-Savard. The former couple broke off their engagement, and Clare returned to Bachelor Nation to lead her own season of The Bachelorette last year. The hairstylist left her own show halfway through and found her happy ending as the oldest Bachelorette at 40 years old. She is engaged to 32-year-old Dale Moss, a contestant from her season.
Joe Amabile, also known as "Grocery Store Joe," is an older contestant on this season of Bachelor In Paradise at 35 years old. He joined Bachelor Nation on Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette and was sent home on night one. Joe's popularity gave him the opportunity to star on season 5 of Bachelor In Paradise, where he fell in love with contestant Kendall Long, who is now 30 years old. Joe and Kendall dated for two years and ended their relationship in 2020. Grocery store Joe is back in Paradise and ready for a second chance. He is interested in 23-year-old Serena Pitt from Matt James' season, who seemed to be shocked by their age difference.
Nick Viall is a significant Bachelor Nation contestant who has been around the block several times. He had two proposals rejected on Andi Dorfman and Kaitlyn Bristowe's seasons of The Bachelorette. Nick then appeared on season 3 of Bachelor In Paradise at age 35. He was in a relationship with Jen Saviano from Ben Higgins' season of The Bachelor, but he broke up with her at the Final Rose ceremony. Nick led his own season of The Bachelor in 2016, which ended in an engagement to contestant Vanessa Grimaldi, though the two parted ways later that year. Nick has been dating model Natalie Joy for a year.
Bachelor in Paradise airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 PM ET on ABC.
