After two three-hour episodes of build-up, Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 finally delivered the moment fans were waiting for: the arrival of the Goldens. And with them came a refreshing jolt of wisdom, flirtation, and — unexpectedly — soulmate-level friendship. While the beach was still reeling from heartbreaks and messy rose ceremonies, it was Kat Izzo and April Kirkwood who stole the show… not through romance, but through a lightning-bolt connection that felt cosmic.

🌟 The Goldens Have Landed — And Breathed New Life Into the Beach
The July 15 episode wasn’t short on drama. We said goodbye (for now) to the emotional saga of Justin Glaze and Susie Evans, watched the crumbling tension between Jeremy Simon and Bailey Brown, and tried to stomach yet another round of Jeremy-centered whining. But when the Golden Bachelor alums — Leslie Fhima, April Kirkwood, and Alexe Godin — walked onto the sand, everything changed.

Suddenly, the tone shifted. There was flirtation across generations, yes, but also laughter, confidence, and a level of maturity that had been sorely lacking. The Goldens were here not just to play… but to reshape the game entirely.

💘 Kat Izzo + April Kirkwood = Mother/Daughter Chaos
In a twist no one saw coming, Kat Izzo, best known for stirring the pot in Season 9, found an instant soulmate in April Kirkwood, the vivacious and cheeky Golden alum. From the moment they met, it was magic.

“There was something instantaneous,” April said. “I really believe in energies and frequencies. Her and I kind of resonate together.”

They even became roommates on the show, and Kat immediately pointed out how their room offered the perfect view to watch the boys return from morning workouts — proving these two are trouble, and we’re here for it.90 Day Fiancé’s Kalani Reveals Major Co-Parenting Update With Asuelu After Going To Therapy

👀 Trouble in Paradise? Bring It On.
This isn’t just about friendship. Both women are flirting with chaos, and if you thought April Kirkwood came to the beach just to sunbathe, think again.

April’s not holding back, and she’s clearly here to have fun and stir the pot. With Kat by her side? Expect double the energy and triple the drama.

🛥️ Golden Sparks Elsewhere: RJ Johnson & Natascha Hardee
While Kat and April had us hooked with their electric bond, another Golden connection quietly started forming: RJ Johnson and Natascha Hardee. The two hit it off on the boat ride over — so much so that Natascha sat on RJ’s lap and sparked an early romance.

There’s a flirty confidence in the way these two Goldens move that reminds fans why the spin-off was so beloved. It’s mature, bold, and wildly entertaining.
