“At 60, I’ve been able to do a lot. I’ve been in love, I’ve traveled, I’ve had kids, I’ve had some business success, and a lot of other things,” Chock said in the first episode, which aired in September 2024. “But I’m lonely. I want someone in my life, and that’s why I’m here.”
While vying for Joan Vassos’ affections on the spinoff series, the father of two said he respected her “family values.” (Joan is the mother of four and has several grandchildren.) “I have a 24-year-old daughter, and she said, ‘Dad, you’re not going to be happy with what you did,’” he told Joan in the first episode. “And she said, ‘Oh, I signed you up for The Golden Bachelor.’” In sharing the story, Chock recalled his daughter’s anticipation for the lead role. “That started the process,” he explained. “But that day she said to me, ‘Joan is going to be The Golden Bachelorette.’” Scroll down to meet the Chock family: ‘The Golden Bachelorette’ Season 1 Cast: Meet Joan Vassos’ Contestants
