Robby Hayes returns to Bachelor in Paradise this summer — seriously!

Robby Hayes isn’t done with the Bachelor franchise just yet. Although he doesn’t appear on the Paradise premiere, he WILL be looking for love in Mexico this season.

Last year, Robby Hayes made a love connection with Amanda Stanton. We all know how that worked out. Two months after filming wrapped, Amanda confirmed that she was no longer dating Robby. She posted a photo on Twitter that showed him kissing another girl — and that was that.

And just like that, another Paradise relationship bit the dust. Now Robby is returning for another chance to “find love” in Paradise. Oh, Lordy.

During Monday night, a sneak peek of the upcoming season of Bachelor in Paradise aired during The Men Tell All. 

We saw most of the cast crying. And then we got a glance of Robby and his perfect hair.

Sorry, Jordan, Robby is the original Bachelor Nation model.

So, did Robby find love in Paradise? Or was he just there for a cameo appearance?

Robby doesn’t show up ’til the last episode. That means we won’t get to see his hair blowing in the breeze throughout the season. (wait – does his hair even move?)

But don’t worry — although Robby doesn’t grace everyone with his presence until the end of the season, he will make a connection.

According to Reality Steve, Shushanna (Ben’s season) give a rose to Robby during the final rose ceremony. Of course, he accepts.

Enter Chris Harrison with an offer for the Fantasy Suite to all of this season’s final couples. (Can we even call Shushanna and Robby a couple after one episode?)

Spoilers point to Robby and Shushanna leaving the show as friends. Safe to say they didn’t spend the night together and are not engaged. If they did get engaged, we’d start calling the show The Proposal instead of Bachelor in Paradise.

Watch the Bachelor in Paradise premiere on August 7 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
