The Golden Bachelorettestar Joan Vassos may have been happy to choose Chock Chapple on the show, but I’m concerned she’s regretting her relationship with him after finding out that he’s not consistently going to choose her in their lives together. Joan and Chock’s relationship, which was followed by fans on The Golden Bachelorette season 1, has been something that’s brought intense scrutiny to the couple in recent months. While Joan and Chock may be a solid match, there’s been a lot of confusion surrounding what they’re doing in the future, both for their followers and the Golden couple themselves.
Joan, who’s originally from Maryland, shared with The Golden Bachelorette audience during the live finale aftershow that she and Chock would be looking to move to New York City in the near future, even though it wasn’t somewhere either of them had lived prior. Chock, who’s originally from Kansas, made it clear that he was interested in the move, but Joan was the driving force behind it. After the holiday season ended and the new year slowly got started, it felt like Joan and Chock may begin to make strides in their move, but after months without progress, I’m concerned.
Now that she’s found love again, it’s unlikely Joan will want to let it go.
Joan Was Looking To Expand Her Life With Someone
She Was Hopeful She’d Meet Her Match
As Joan moved through The Golden Bachelor season 1 with Gerry Turner and then began her own journey to find love on The Golden Bachelorette, it was clear that she was ready to find someone she could build a life with. After losing her late husband John Vassos to pancreatic cancer, Joan felt like she would never find love again, or at least not the type of love she wanted. She’d resigned herself to staying single in her golden years, but after finding the opportunity to join The Golden Bachelor, she took the plunge.
While she wasn’t sure if she would be able to move forward with someone who wasn’t her late husband, Joan developed a connection with Gerry before she left the show. When it came time to choose a Golden Bachelorette, Joan was a high choice for producers who were interested in bringing someone intriguing to the series. As she took the lead of her own journey, Joan got the chance to know plenty of guys, but her connection with Chock stood out. Now that she’s found love again, it’s unlikely Joan will want to let it go.
Joan & Chock Seem To Be At A Stalemate
They Haven’t Figured Out What’s Next
Although Joan and Chock have done a good job keeping Bachelor Nation up to date about their relationship, it’s clear that their NYC move is something they’re not in agreement on, which is why we’ve heard very little about it as of late. Joan and Chock’s move, which they announced with excitement post-season, has been an ongoing struggle. With Chock more interested in staying in comfortable Wichita, Joan is looking to expand her horizons as she moves forward in her life. With the pair at a stalemate, it’s possible Joan’s looking for Chock to pick her over himself for once.
Joan Could Regret Her Choice With Chock
Things Aren’t Moving In The Right Direction
While Joan may be struggling to figure out where she stands with her fiancé, it’s clear that her decision to stick with Chock has been causing her more stress than expected lately. Sharing that she’s been dealing with new stressors online, Chock’s refusal to move to New York City has pushed Joan to genuinely consider what their relationship is going to look like moving forward. While she was ready to deal with some back and forth travel for Chock, she may be noticing he’s not willing to give things up for her in the same way she is for him.
Though Joan and Chock seem like they’re happy together, I’m wondering if Joan’s been noticing that she’s putting in extra effort while Chock is simply reaping the rewards of their relationship. For Joan, who’s spent the majority of her adult life with a spouse who she felt deeply connected to, it could be natural to give up her comforts for someone else. Moving forward, however, it seems like The Golden Bachelorette star may be reconsidering her relationship, or at least the order of her priorities, so she can put herself first.
