The Golden Bachelorette star Joan Vassos has admitted to being stressed, so a solution to her problems would be for her and Chock Chapple to have a permanent home together. During The Golden Bachelorette season 1, Joan and Chock got engaged, and they came up with a plan to find a place in New York City together where they could share some time alone with each other. However, Joan had made it clear before she even began filming the show that she wouldn’t leave her home in Rockville, Maryland for good because she wanted to stay close to her family, which consists of her four adult children, her three grandchildren, and her 92-year-old mother.
After The Golden Bachelorette season 1 finale, Joan and Chock decided to keep their separate houses in their home states. Chock is from Wichita, Kansas, and he has work obligations there, although his two adult children live on the East Coast. Since the show ended, Joan and Chock have had a long-distance relationship, meeting up in each other’s hometowns and other places for special events, while still searching for their love nest in New York City. However, now that Joan has confessed to being stressed, she and Chock should alleviate some of those feelings by moving into a shared home together.
What Did Joan Vassos Say About Being Stressed?
Joan Wasn’t Specific About What Was Causing Her Stress
In a recent series of Instagram stories, Joan admitted to feeling stressed because of all of the changes that have happened in her life since she appeared on both The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette. She shared, “This year has been pretty epic for me, and although I realize how lucky I am, I also think that this new reality has brought some different stressors into my life.”
Joan made her confession about her stress levels while doing a promotional video for a stress-relieving supplement, but she didn’t specify exactly what those stressors were. However, it’s easy to imagine that all of the traveling that she and Chock have been doing has taken a toll on the couple. Not only is it taxing to go from Maryland to Kansas to New York and other places, but Joan could be stressed out about being apart from her fiancé. Although they’ve said that they try not to be away from each other for more than two weeks at a time, the distance can’t be easy on their relationship.
Joan & Chock Should Decide On A Permanent Home Soon
New York City Might Not Work Out For Them
Joan and Chock have been searching for a place to live in New York City since The Golden Bachelorette finale aired in November 2024, but they’ve been unsuccessful in finding their dream home. However, Joan stated in an interview with Parade that she’s happy with her current situation with Chock because it allows them to enjoy special events together, and they’re living their best lives, without having to participate in the mundane parts of each other’s lives, such as work and family obligations, including babysitting her grandchildren and taking her mom to the doctor. However, it might be less stressful for Joan if Chock were there with her.
It can’t be easy for Joan and Chock to continuously travel to see each other, especially with all of their work and family obligations. If Joan is feeling stressed, then a solution might be for them to choose to live in New York, Maryland, or Kansas together permanently. This would alleviate the pressure that comes from traveling by plane, and give them even more time together.
Although there’s no way to avoid all of the stressors in life, Joan and Chock finding a permanent home together could help. They’ve been engaged since The Golden Bachelorette season 1 finale filmed in August 2024, and, while Joan has said that their long-distance relationship works for them, her comments about stress indicate that it’s not a perfect situation. Joan and Chock should live together in the same home to ensure that they live happily ever after.
