The Golden Bachelorette’s Chock Chapple is teasing more influencer content from his native Kansas, making it clear that he doesn’t care about Bachelor Nation’s pushback on his refusal to move away from Wichita to fulfill Joan Vassos’ NYC dreams. Chock, who met Joan during the whirlwind of The Golden Bachelorette season 1, has been circling the drain about the couple’s plans to forego their separate homes and move to NYC together. While Chock seemed on board with the plan at the end of the show’s run, he’s seemingly reneged his support of the idea, sticking close to home in Kansas.
Chock should be excited to have influencer opportunities, but knowing they’re in Wichita is a struggle.
In a recent Instagram post, Chock shared that he’d been shopping with Joan in tow at a local clothing store in Wichita, but teased some content coming from the trip. While Chock initially posted a video with Joan in it from his excursion, it appears there will be more from the trip. “Always great to see my guy @revheat Awesome store he’s got! Recap coming soon,” Chock shared, along with a photo of himself and the owner of Standard Issue Co. in Wichita.

What Chock’s Next Moves As A Kansas Influencer Mean For His Relationship
Joan May Be Making A Different Move
Although Joan has been in support of Chock gaining opportunities in his hometown, the fact that he’s becoming a local influencer definitely wasn’t on her bingo card this year. While Chock getting opportunities to change his situation and become more of an influencer in his own right are great, the fact that the majority of his opportunities are in Kansas rather than being devoid of a location is interesting. Joan’s desire to move to NYC hasn’t diminished, and though the couple has stopped updating Bachelor Nation on their move at all, Chock being a Kansas influencer changes their direction together.
It’s possible that instead of longing to move to NYC in the coming months, Joan will make an exception to enjoy Chock’s burgeoning influencer career in his local area. As Chock has been staying put in Kansas consistently, it’s possible that Joan will delay their NYC move and spend the majority of her time with her fiancé in his native Kansas. Though she’s had her heart set on NYC since The Golden Bachelorette finale, Joan may be putting her relationship first as Chock makes strides with influencing. Though it may not be her first choice, Joan may put Chock first.

He’s Showing Off Local Businesses
Although Chock’s influencing has likely delayed or scrapped the couple’s move to New York City, it’s been interesting to see Chock making moves in the influencer space. While he’s been supporting smaller businesses in Kansas, Chock’s also gotten partnerships with larger global brands as well.
