Since their whirlwind engagement on the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelorette, Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple have continually showcased their affection for each other, sparking discussions about the authenticity behind their constant public displays of affection (PDAs). At 61, Joan initially appeared on The Golden Bachelor season 1, where she was among 22 contestants vying for the heart of 72-year-old Gerry Turner. Due to a family emergency that forced her to exit early, she later became the first female lead of the spin-off series.

In the exciting premiere of The Golden Bachelorette, Joan was introduced to 24 eligible golden bachelors, including Chock, who is 60. Their connection was immediate, significantly deepening after a memorable solo date at Disneyland. The season culminated with Chock proposing to Joan, who accepted his heartfelt proposal. Since their engagement, the duo has been inseparable, igniting questions about whether their fervent displays of love are a genuine reflection of their emotions or an overzealous portrayal of happiness.
