One success story from season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise? An ASKN friendship reunion. After bonding on season 1 of The Golden Bachelor, April Kirkwood, Susan Noles, Kathy Swarts and Nancy Hulkower sparked speculation that they had a falling out when April, 67, was noticeably missing from the group trip to St. Martin in January 2024. While April told Us Weekly that she went on BiP to find love - "I really am lonely and I'm always looking to improve myself. So I thought, 'What is this gonna bring to me?'" - she also wanted to see Kathy, 72.
