Chad Johnson is officially joining "Bachelor in Paradise" season 3. His participation in the reality competition series has been confirmed in a new promo video, which was released following his exit from "The Bachelorette" season 12.

Chad, a so-called villain in the current season of the reality dating series, was dumped by the Bachelorette, JoJo Fletcher, in week 4 that aired two weeks ago. He briefly returned in the latest episode that aired June 20, just to confront the other guys whom he accused of ganging up on him.

With Chad's freaky demeanor, fans can look forward to some troubles caused by the real estate agent on the hit spin-off. He joins Jared Haibon from Kaitlyn Bristowe's season of "The Bachelorette", as well as Ben Higgins' exes from "The Bachelor" including twins Hayley and Emily Ferguson, Lace Moris, Jubilee Sharpe and Amanda Standon who were previously reported to be back for the reality competition series.

In other news, Chad is reported to be dating Hope Higginbotham, who is none other than the ex of his "Bachelorette" co-star Robby Hayes. He recently shared pictures of his PDA sessions with the brunette beauty.

While traveling this weekend, our paths crossed and I finally had the opportunity to meet Hope Higginbotham in person. Let me just say, she is even more beautiful in person! A great girl like her deserves so much better than someone who lies, cheats, and ends a four year long relationship in order to pursue fame on a tv show. You're amazing, I miss you already �°ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ @hopealverta . . . . . #TheBachelorette #TheBachelor #TheChadelor #Bachelornation #bachelormonday #bachelormondays #realitytv #realityshow#realitytvstar #realitytvshows #realityshows #realitytvstars #bravotv #mtv #abc #joelle #realitystar #realitystars #tvshow #follow #followme #love #datingshow
