Bachelor In Paradise likes to fill its cast with contestants from the most recent seasons, but occasionally an old school contestant like season 3's Lace Morris will crash the party. Lace found love with Grant Kemp, but that romance—like so many others on the show—did not stand the test of time. Now, it appears, she's back for more.
Lace initially appeared on Ben Higgins' season of The Bachelor but left early in the season after realizing her and Ben's connection wasn't as strong as the other women. Lace joined season 3 of Bachelor In Paradise, where she met and fell in love with firefighter Grant. They ended their engagement in 2016. According to The Bachelor Wiki, Lace is currently in a relationship with a man named Russell, whom she met on Bumble. Alas, that relationship would appear to be over if she is truly back in Paradise looking for love once again.
On Wednesday, Reality Steve tweeted a photo of Lace in Paradise, with the caption, "Lace Morris will be on this season." Lace will join Jordan Kimball, Demi Burnett, Derek Peth and Amanda Stanton as former contestants who were engaged in Paradise but returned in a following season looking for love anew. Lace, 32, will likely be one of the oldest female contestants vying for love on the beach, though it should be noted that 32 is not old.
Lace became instantly notable on Ben's season due to the amount she drank. Once she left his season, it was clear she'd be a shoe-in for Paradise. There will be no shortage of eligible Bachelors for Lace, since this season of Paradise will contain men from Michelle Young's season as well as Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey's upcoming season.
Lace and Grant's relationship during season 3 of Paradise was quite tumultuous and left many viewers uncertain they were ready for an engagement. Hopefully this time, Lace will be more prepared to find someone she truly is confident she can marry. On season 3, Lace was around to see a brutal breakup in Vinny Ventiera and Isabel "Izzy" Goodkind and an unlikely romance in the since-broken up Carly Waddell and Evan Bass. She was also around to weather the storm that was Chad Johnson, who has thankfully not been invited back to participate in Bachelor In Paradise after threatening now-departed host Chris Harrison on his way out. Lace may be looking for less drama and more love this time around, but as viewers are well aware at this point, she should temper her expectations.
