While The Golden Bachelorette’s Chock Chapple has been vocal regarding his love for Kansas, he won’t let anything, including distance, get in the way of his relationship with Joan Vassos. Chock and Joan found a rare connection through the dating competition, with the insurance executive earning the coveted first one-on-one date. This Disneyland trip set up their relationship for the duration of The Golden Bachelorette season 1. Joan and Chock quickly recognized their similarities and chemistry as family-oriented seniors. Chock won Joan’s heart and the season, receiving the final rose.
The happily engaged stars have been traveling across state lines frequently. Whether for professional opportunities, family gatherings, or leisure, Joan and Chock are constantly moving. However, both have been adamant about returning to their hometowns and children. One of the biggest commonalities they share is their prioritization of family. As a result, Joan and Chock are willing to purchase a shared apartment as a temporary residence. Chock’s recent activity may imply a willingness to move. The pair are inseparable, and Chock has done everything necessary to maintain the relationship.
Chock Loves Wichita But Joan’s His Queen
Their Love Is Unwavering
Chock adores his hometown of Wichita, Kansas. The executive set roots in the big city with his local business, “Insurance Services Group,” and several properties. The star commented about the area in a Q&A on Instagram. Chock proposed Wichita is a great place to raise kids, and “the cost of living is incredible.” His stance is evident as the homes he’s purchased have been no farther than the bordering state, Oklahoma.
Despite his children’s relocation to North Carolina, Chock has had little interest in moving. ISG, Chock’s business, is his second local venture, as he originally owned and resold CIG insurance from 2004 to 2020. This means Chock has been a Kansas business owner for over 20 years.
Chock has enjoyed his hometown and its proximity to everything he holds dear. However, the insurance executive has found unexpected love. Joan and Chock have been inseparable since the engagement. They have done everything in their power to strengthen their connection. Joan and Chock have been juggling time and energy for:
Family
Friends
Careers
Each other
Chock may adore his hometown, but no love can compare to his devotion to Joan. They have made innumerable sacrifices on behalf of the relationship. Chock may not draw the line at relocation. A move to Maryland would mean less of a commute for his children in North Carolina as well.
Chock’s Been Going Out Of His Way To Make Things Work
Traveling Has Been A Difficult Commitment
Joan and Chock are constantly working on their relationship. The pair have traveled between their hometowns for the holidays. Chock and his family flew to Maryland for Thanksgiving. Joan and her family visited Kansas for Christmas. For New Year’s Eve, Joan met with Chock in his hometown. Joan and Chock shared a video on Instagram celebrating their first New Year together. They have been consistently accommodating of each other’s time and space.
Wherever they land, one thing is certain: Joan and Chock will make it work.
The near-constant trips have undoubtedly been difficult on their schedules. These flights require planning, time off work, and more. Joan and Chock have recognized the difficulties associated with long-distance relationships and may be reconsidering the move.
Joan and Chock are seriously considering purchasing a shared apartment in SOHO, New York.
This apartment will be used only for short trips, so while Joan and Chock’s New York City love nest would provide a sweet respite from everyday expectations, it does not solve the traveling issues. With Joan’s family still residing in Maryland, she may feel compelled to convince Chock to move. Chock has remained adaptable for his fiancé, and she could change his perspective.
Chock May Be Moving Closer To Marriage
Joan & Chock Are Getting More Serious Every Day
Chock’s interest in purchasing the New York home bodes well for their relationship. They are most content in each other’s company and hope to spend even more time together. This milestone will be a major financial undertaking, but he’s ready to take the next step with Joan. However, the relationship may require a larger commitment.
Joan and Chock have been discussing their wedding plans since the conclusion of The Golden Bachelorette. Unlike many other Bachelor alums, the pair are taking it slow. They anticipate their wedding to take place in late 2025 or early 2026. Either way, Joan and Chock have allowed themselves ample time to prepare for the commitment. The last sacrifice that either party will need to make is relocation. The question is: who is willing to budge?
