America’s favorite mature couple, The Golden Bachelorette’s Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple, have been quiet on social media lately, and it stands out because these two love to post about each other and their lives post-show. Joan was the franchise’s first-ever Golden Bachelorette after appearing on Gerry Turner’s season of The Golden Bachelor. Joan and Gerry failed to make a love connection, but Joan was given the golden opportunity to choose from dozens of potential partners when she was asked to be on The Golden Bachelorette season 1.
From gallivanting around New York City and vacationing in Mexico to quiet dinners at Chock’s favorite Wichita restaurants, Joan and Chock are happily in love and want to share every minute of it. That’s why fans notice when they go dark. Is their social media silence a sign that they’re having too much fun in Wichita, or is there something else at play?
Joan & Chock Have Updated Fans Online In A Few Days
They’re Posting Less Than Normal
Chock’s last Instagram grid post was on March 15, which means five days have passed since he last posted. His last post doesn’t mention Joan, which is also curious since they are usually together. Chock shared a photo of himself with a friend at a clothing store in Wichita, writing, “Always great to see my guy,” tagging a friend in the post. “Awesome store he’s got! Recap coming soon.”
For her part, Joan posted an ad for the pain reliever, Aspercreme, and a book club recommendation on March 20. Before that, she hadn’t posted to her grid in a week. That last post was a joint post with her fiancé, where Joan and Chock showed off their shopping finds in Wichita.
Their Followers Have Been Critical Of Their Relationship
Fans Have Questions About Their Future
Since getting engaged in late 2024, fans have been waiting for them to announce their wedding plans. But first, Joan and Chock need to pick a place to live. Joan resides near Washington, DC, and Chock is famously from Wichita (side note: I’ve never seen anyone love the Midwest as much as Chock does). They’ve mentioned plans to start a new life together in New York City, but that has yet to happen. Some fans feel like the stall in making the big move is a bad sign for their relationship.
Chock, in particular, is very attached to his hometown. He’s built a life for himself, and he loves proudly showing off his hometown. While he’s said he’s open to moving to the Big Apple with Joan, it seems like it’s time for him to put his money where his mouth is. Otherwise, Joan might grow tired of his waffling.
Are Joan & Chock Focused On Their Time Together In Wichita?
Maybe They’re Having Too Much Fun?
Perhaps the lack of social media activity on Joan and Chock’s part is because they’re enjoying their time together and want to focus on living in the present. Based on their posts, Joan was in Wichita with Chock, so it could be that they’re too busy having fun to keep up with their social media. Still, normally people like to share their happier moments online, but it could be that Joan and Chock just want some privacy right now.
