Chock Chapple recently proposed to Joan Vassos during the finale of The Golden Bachelorette, and she joyfully accepted. However, fans are speculating if Chock might be hesitating. At 60 years old, Chock was one of 24 charming single men eager to court 61-year-old Joan at the renowned Bachelor mansion. Previously, Joan participated in the first season of The Golden Bachelor where she was among Gerry Turner’s contestants. After their romance didn’t flourish, she became the leading lady of the spin-off, securing her chance at love once more.
The debut season of The Golden Bachelorette introduced viewers to Joan’s journey, including her initial meeting with Chock. Although he didn’t receive her first impression rose, he captured her interest on their first solo date at Disneyland—a magical encounter that hinted at a promising relationship. Ultimately, Joan chose Chock, presenting him with her final rose, and they embraced the commitment of engagement.
Chock’s Reluctance to Relocate for Love
Navigating Long-Distance Challenges
Prior to their romance, Joan resided in Maryland where she served as a private school administrator, while Chock managed his business as an insurance executive in Kansas. Although there is genuine affection between them, Chock’s unwillingness to relocate poses a significant hurdle for their future together. Conversely, Joan faces her own dilemma; moving would mean sacrificing her family ties and professional commitments. This geographical divide could hinder their ultimate goal of marriage.

Chock’s romantic history may also bring hesitance into his engagement with Joan. Having endured a 12-year marriage that ended in divorce, he subsequently fell in love with Katherine Goree. Their relationship was significant, marked by a nine-year engagement before tragedy struck and Katherine passed away in 2022. Such prolonged attachments could leave Chock feeling reluctant to rush into marriage again.

Their playful yet pointed disagreements about garlic placement revealed a need for balance in their interactions. While Chock seems to enjoy their time together, recurring disagreements could contribute to his uncertainty about their future.
