Here Are the Surprise Hosts Replacing Chris Harrison on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’

For the first time in the show’s history, the Bachelor in Paradise host will not be Chris Harrison. So who is the Bachelor in Paradise 2021 host? (Or should we say hosts?) Well, ABC announced in June that Bachelor in Paradise will be hosted by a rotating roster of celebrities, including David Spade, Lance Bass and Lil Jon.

Bachelor in Paradise season 7 premiered in August and follows 30-plus contestants from past seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette as they look for a second chance at love with each other. The season—which is the first season to air since season 6 two years ago due to the current health crisis—was filmed over the course of three weeks in June at the Playa Escondida Resort in Sayulita, a town in Vallarta-Nayarit, Mexico. The resort is the same location Bachelor in Paradise has filmed at since season 2.

While the location is the same, the host is different. In June, Chris Harrison, who has hosted the Bachelor franchise season since season 1 of The Bachelor in 2002, announced his decision to step down as the franchise’s host. “I’ve had a truly incredible run as host of The Bachelor franchise and now I’m excited to start a new chapter. I’m so grateful to Bachelor Nation for all of the memories we’ve made together. While my two-decade journey is wrapping up, the friendships I’ve made will last a lifetime,” Chris wrote in an Instagram post at the time.

The news came three months after his scandal with Rachael Kirkconnell, a contestant from The Bachelor season 22 with Matt James. In March, Rachael came under fire after photos resurfaced of her at a South Antebellum plantation-themed party. Chris came under controversy after he defended Rachael in an interview on Extra with season 13 Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay, which led ABC to replace him as the host of Matt’s “After the Final Rose” special and The Bachelorette season 17 with Katie Thurston.

Deadline reported in June that Harrison received a mid-range, eight-figure settlement as part of exit plan with ABC, the network that airs the Bachelor franchise, and Warner Bros. Television, the company that produces the Bachelor shows. The magazine also reported that Harrison’s settlement includes a nondisclosure agreement. Despite the drama that led to his exit, a source told Us Weekly in August that Chris has no issues with the franchise. “He still keeps in touch with some crew and former Bachelor and Bachelorette cast members,” the source said. “Everyone who was close to him on the show really misses him and wishes he was still part of the show.”

So that’s what happened to Chris Harrison. But who are the Bachelor in Paradise 2021 hosts? Ahead are the celebrities and Bachelor Nation members who are confirmed and rumored to host Bachelor in Paradise season 7.
