Warning: Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 spoilers ahead. They were the last Golden couple standing, but are Kathy and Keith still together from Bachelor in Paradise Season 10? Read on for where their relationship is now.
Kathy Swarts, a 72-year-old from Austin, Texas, and Keith Gordon, a 63-year-old from San Jose, California, were one of the final eight couples on Bachelor in Paradise Season 10. Kathy originally starred on The Golden Bachelor Season 1 with Gerry Turner, while Keith appeared on The Golden Bachelorette Season 1 with Joan Vassos.
Both Kathy and Keith joined Bachelor in Paradise in Week 3 and exchanged roses from the start. They became the last Golden couple on Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 in Episode 7 when Faith Martin and Kim Buike were eliminated after a vote by their fellow cast. The third Golden couple, Leslie Fhima and Gary Levingston, were eliminated in the episode before.
With more time at the beach than any other Golden couple, it makes sense why Bachelor Nation fans want to know whether Kathy and Keith are still together from Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 and what happened after cameras went down. Read on for how much we know.
Are Kathy and Keith still together from Bachelor in Paradise?
Kathy and Keith are not still together from Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, according to Reality Steve, who confirmed that none of the Golden couples were still dating. Reality Steve also confirmed that there were only four couples from Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 who are still together now. (See which couples are still together here.)
While Kathy and Keith are not still together, they seem to remain on good terms. As of writing, they both follow each other on Instagram. While her relationship with Keith was, for the most part, drama-free on Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, Kathy has had her fair share of relationship drama during her lifetime.
During the July 15 episode of Bachelor in Paradise Season 10, she revealed that she once slept with another person while married. “I sat down and thought, ‘Okay, I’m going to win this,’” Kathy told People after the episode aired. “I’m a little bit competitive, I like to win.”
Kathy then admitted that, while her “words” were true, her confession, which led to her and Keith winning a a date in the VIP suite, was a bit misleading.
“It’s all true. I did sleep with someone else while my partner, and that is my husband, was in the other room,” she said, referring to her late husband Daryl Swarts, who died in 2019. “The person I slept with was my almost-two-year-old who was projectile-vomiting, and I told my husband, who had to get up for work, ‘Go in the other room. I got this.’”
She continued, “I thought, ‘Okay, the youngins, there’s more of the youngins than the Goldens, and what do they think and talk about? It’s got to have something to do with sex.’ And there came my story. But it was true. It just happened to be my son, not another man.”
Kathy also told the magazine that she wasn’t nervous to appear on Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 with contestants 40 years younger than her. “I’ve known some of these young ones who have been on my podcast, Golden Hour, and so I knew them a little bit, and I knew that this would be successful,” she said. “Because we came ready to engage and have fun and find love. Guess what? That’s what the young ones are there for too — have fun, engage and hopefully find a connection.”
She added, “So, it was not oil and vinegar, it was just this smooth melding of two groups of people that really had similar goals in mind.”
She also revealed the piece of advice she shared with her younger cast mates. “I said to them, ‘If you’re red and your partner is blue, sometimes it’s going to be red, sometimes it’s going to be blue and sometimes you’re going to compromise and it’s going to be purple,’” she said. “But what a lot of people don’t think about is, sometimes when it’s red and you’re blue, or if it’s blue and you’re red, you know what that’s called? It’s not compromise anymore, it’s sacrifice.”
Bachelor in Paradise streams on Hulu.
