Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple: Navigating Long-Distance Delays This Christmas
Joan Vassos, a prominent figure from The Golden Bachelorette, recently opened up about the difficulties she and her fiancé Chock Chapple are experiencing due to their long-distance romance as the holiday season approaches. The couple got engaged at the conclusion of season 1 and are currently facing logistical hurdles as they try to coordinate their schedules for Christmas. Joan, 61, is a private school administrator based in Rockville, Maryland, while Chock, 60, is an insurance executive residing in Wichita, Kansas.
Challenges in Coordination
During an interview with FOX5 DC, Joan shared that the festive period has complicated their plans. “Actually, in this immediate moment, we’re thinking about how we’re gonna get together for Christmas. And so, logistically, it’s a little bit hard,” she explained. With Chock in Kansas and Joan in Maryland, their busy schedules have made it challenging to plan a visit. The couple recently had the chance to meet in L.A., but the festive season is proving to be much trickier.
Balancing Work and Personal Life
Joan elaborated on the complexities of their situation, stating, “We have this kind of lull where both of us are really busy. He still has a business in Kansas, and I’m trying to get things ready for Christmas at my house.” The couple is actively working to figure out a time to reunite but acknowledges that their current arrangements are less than ideal.
Anticipation for a New Chapter
However, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Joan revealed that they are looking for an apartment in New York City, which could serve as a convenient meeting point. “There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. We’re looking for a place in New York City. So that’s gonna be like our little pied-à-terre, and where we’re gonna meet,” Joan expressed. This move would not only make travel easier, with only one direct flight weekly from Kansas to Maryland, but it would also foster their relationship further. “Meeting in New York City also just provides us with alone couple time that we still need,” she added.
Actually, in this immediate moment, we’re thinking about how we’re gonna get together for Christmas. And so, logistically, it’s a little bit hard. You know, he’s all the way in Kansas. I’m here in Maryland. We want to see each other. We were with each other last week in L.A. But now we have this kind of lull where both of us are really busy. He still has a business in Kansas. I’m trying to get things ready for Christmas at my house. And we’re trying to figure out when in the world we can see each other. So, logistically, it’s still a little hard. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. We’re looking for a place in New York City. So that’s gonna be like our little pied-à-terre, and where we’re gonna meet. And it’s a lot easier to get there. It’s very hard to get here from Kansas. So there’s only one direct flight a week on Wednesdays. So it’s a little harder to get here. Meeting in New York City also just kind of provides us with alone couple time that we still need. This is new. We need our alone couple time.
Understanding Joan’s Challenge with Long-Distance Drama

Facing Reality Together
Joan’s honest acknowledgment of the struggles they face is a proactive step toward addressing potential issues rather than allowing them to fester. Recognizing the importance of cohabitation, she and Chock must focus on finding a home together. Despite the physical distance, their emotional bond seems intact. With love and commitment on their side, the couple remains determined to overcome the hurdles of their relationship.
