Chock Chapple proposed to Joan Vassos at the end of The Golden Bachelorette, and she said yes, but are there signs he may be getting cold feet? 60-year-old Chock was one of the 24 single Golden men who traveled to the iconic Bachelor mansion to date 61-year-old Joan. She had already been on a Bachelor franchise show, as she had been a contestant in The Golden Bachelor season 1. When things didn’t work out between her and Gerry Turner, she was cast as the spin-off’s first female lead.
The Golden Bachelorette season 1 premiered with Joan greeting her men, and meeting Chock for the first time. Although he didn’t receive her first impression rose, he did win her first solo date. After spending a romantic day at Disneyland, the couple seemed destined to end up together. In the end, Joan gave Chock her final rose, and the two got engaged.
Chock Won’t Move For Joan
Long Distance Relationship Blues
Before joining the cast of The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette, Joan lived in Maryland, where she worked as a private school administrator. For his part, Chock lived in Kansas, where the insurance executive owns his own business. Chock may love Joan, but if he’s not willing to move to be with her, their relationship may not work. Joan could move too, but she’s reluctant to leave her family and career. Geographical realities may keep Joan and Chock from ever walking down the aisle.
Chock Previously Had A Very Long Engagement
He Could Be Gun-Shy About Marriage
Chock had been in several serious relationships before joining the cast of The Golden Bachelorette. After his 12-year marriage to Heather Chapple ended in divorce, Chock met Katherine Goree, and the two fell in love. They’d been engaged for nine years before Katherine took ill and passed away in 2022. Since Chock and Katherine had been engaged for nine years, this could mean Chock’s divorce made him gun-shy about getting married again.
