As for Bachelor in Paradise, there’s no news yet on who will be hitting the shores of Mexico to find love. Last week, during Charity Lawson’s The Bachelorette: Men Tell All, it was revealed that her contestant Brayden Bowers will be joining Paradise (and he’ll be getting cozy with Kat Izzo from Zach Shallcross’ season of The Bachelor).

The franchise news comes ahead of the Season 20 finale of The Bachelorette Monday night on ABC, when Charity Lawson will presumably find her happily ever after.
