Bad news: Susan Noles<\/strong><\/a> will not join some of her former Golden Bachelor<\/em> costars in Paradise<\/em> next season. Good news: it\u2019s because she met a nice French man and hard-launched their relationship.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you least expect, never give up hope \u2026\u201d Susan, 67, captioned the Monday, April 21, Instagram<\/a> post.<\/p>\n The video featured the reality star\u2019s favorite moment with her boyfriend, Frederic<\/a>. A lot of the clips featured beachside moments \u2013 so it looks like Susan found her own slice of paradise.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m so happy for you Susan, you deserve this!!!!\u201d Bachelor Nation host Jesse Palmer<\/strong> wrote in the comments section of the post.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, a fan inquired, \u201cYay! He\u2019s a lucky guy! But I heard rumors you were going on Paradise<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n Susan replied, \u201cThat\u2019s why I announced this, I won\u2019t be going.\u201d<\/p>\n Susan shared the news with her Instagram followers shortly after she announced her relationship on the \u201cBachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour\u201d podcast alongside cohost Kathy Swarts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n During the episode, Susan admitted that she met Frederic during a routine trip to St. Martin with Kathy, 71, in February. However, it wasn\u2019t a love-at-first-sight situation. In fact, it was more like love-at-first-swipe.<\/p>\n \u201cKathy and I were having a fabulous vacation and one night we went to bed. She was upstairs, I was in my room, and I was playing games on my computer and I could not sleep. And I thought, you know what? What have I got to lose? I went on Tinder,\u201d Susan admitted. \u201cSee, everybody, it does work when you least expect it! And trust and believe me, I used to be on all the dating sites forever. So, I tried it and I saw somebody, I swiped, and then I didn\u2019t get on for like three days \u2026 I decided to check back in and there was a message and I was like \u2018Oh!\u2019 So that was the fun part. Of course, he is French and he speaks French.\u201d<\/p>\n Susan and Frederic, who is 14 years her junior, have overcome their language barrier by communicating through a translation app. As they say, however, actions speak louder than words.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t even explain this feeling,\u201d Susan gushed to Kathy after admitting that she and Frederic have both exchanged I love you\u2019s. \u201cI think he is everything I\u2019ve ever dreamed of. The way he treats me and takes care of me. Kathy, when I broke my arm, I needed to shower. The man showered me, shaved my legs, washed me, I mean, he took care of me like no other. They don\u2019t make them like this. I don\u2019t know where it came from, but I\u2019m blessed. I feel blessed.\u201d<\/p>\n While reflecting on her new and progressing relationship, Susan announced she was not joining Bachelor Nation singles for the upcoming season of BiP<\/em> because she \u201cfound the love of [her] life.\u201d<\/p>\n Susan instantly gained popularity when she became part of the first group of contestants on The<\/em> Golden Bachelor<\/em><\/a> season 1 in 2023. The Pennsylvania native may not have found a spark with Gerry Turner<\/strong> during her journey, but she gained a forever friendship with Kathy.<\/p>\n Following her reality TV debut, Susan mingled around the dating pool and briefly interacted with a man who was supposed to be on the first season of The Golden Bachelorette<\/em><\/a>. Needless to say, it didn\u2019t work out.<\/p>\n \u201cBut by the third phone call, I knew his life story, what he drove,\u201d Susan shared during a February episode of the \u201cBachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour\u201d podcast. \u201cHe was supposed to be on Joan<\/strong> [Vassos<\/strong>]\u2019 season. It was a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
