As the Bachelor franchise prepares to start filming the newest season of Bachelor in Paradise, Jesse Palmer has a few ideas of who he can get to entertain his little one on set.
The Bachelor host, 46, spoke to PEOPLE at Disney Entertainment Television's Get Real Event on Tuesday, April 22, and was asked if his baby daughter Ella, 15 months, will be making an appearance on the iconic beach this year.
"She needs to be on the beach. I'm going to get her down there and give her a little taste early, just keep her away from me," Palmer says. "I'm just going to drop her off with the Golden [Bachelor] cast and let them babysit. I think that's the plan."
"I trust the Golden cast better than I trust our normal cast, for sure," jokes the proud dad.
Palmer shares his daughter, Ella, with his wife Emely Fardo.
The former NFL player, who was the lead of The Bachelor in 2004, has previously shared that he would be more than fine with his daughter one day seeing his run on the show.
"I'd love to show her my season,” he told E! News in February 2024. “I don't know if by the time she's old enough to see it if VHS will still be played."
As for whether he would be okay with his daughter wanting to be on the show when she’s old enough, the protective father said he would consider it with one condition.
"I'll have to be hosting the show, though, of course, to really keep Dad's eye view on everything," he said.
In June 2024, Palmer spoke with PEOPLE ahead of his first Father's Day, sharing that although he's often away from home due to work, he tries to help out as much as he can when he's back.
"The basic rule of thumb for me is just try to do as much as I possibly can," he said. "So when we are together and I am home, I try to change as many diapers as I can, I try to wash as many and clean as many bottles as I can, swaddle as often as I can, soothe as often as I can when she's down napping."
"Emely is far and away the better feeder and she also does most of the baths, but I've started to do more of that," Palmer continued. "Emely and I have found our rhythm. We've also traveled a lot with Ella. With The Bachelorette filming, we were all over the world and brought Ella everywhere we went."
