Since the finale of The Golden Bachelorette, critics have been questioning Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple’s relationship due to their overactive social media accounts. Joan and Chock shared a special connection on the show, with Chock’s winning personality earning him the season’s first one-on-one date. On this date, Joan and Chock soon realized their compatibility, and by the end of her season, Joan’s final choice was clear. She chose Chock as the recipient of the final rose, and the insurance executive proposed.
Once the last episode of The Golden Bachelorette season 1 aired, the newly engaged couple were free to post openly about their relationship. They wasted no time, as Joan posted Chock the same night the finale aired. Both parties have been frequently updating fans online since. From exclusive interviews to red carpets, Joan and Chock have been profiting heavily from their reality TV stint. Their constant status updates and sponsored content have left some fans wondering if the couple’s intentions are pure. Chock, as a private man, has attracted particular attention for his active social media.
Chock Held A Q&A On His Instagram
Chock & Joan Won’t Be Marrying Anytime Soon
Fans were surprised to see the formerly private man hosting a Q&A on his Instagram. On Chock’s Instagram Reels, he invited viewers to ask the couple any burning questions. While he received an influx of messages, one question stood out.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting any updates regarding Joan and Chock’s marriage ceremony. Since the couple had refrained from sharing any updates, the question was inevitable. One user wrote: “When’s the wedding date?” Chock seemed prepared for the question and responded, “We get asked all the time.”
Chock’s delayed wedding estimate may disappoint some fans.
While most viewers were hoping to see them wed in early 2025, Chock proposed a date in either late 2025 or early 2026. They have been taking the relationship slowly and want to maintain their pace. Rather than rush into the commitment, as fans saw with The Golden Bachelor’s Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s short-lived marriage, Joan and Chock have spent time strengthening their relationship and getting to know one another.
Some believe that their extended engagement period may indicate bad intentions. Because the couple have profited monetarily and professionally from their time on the show and subsequent engagement period, many critics believe the wedding was postponed to maintain attention. This attention translates to more opportunities for the stars. Chock’s active page, despite his private personality, coincides with this belief.
Chock Is Leaning Into The Jokes About His Relationship With Joan
He May Be Enjoying The Attention
One of Joan’s most popular posts teases Chock’s quirks. Joan took to Instagram to pose an ultimatum after discovering Chock’s enormous sock collection. Having anxiously attempted to organize his hundreds of socks, Joan finally gives in. In this ironic post, she somberly tells the camera, “it’s either me or the socks.” This video resonated with many fans, several of whom shared personal anecdotes or support in the comments.
Chock has embraced the jokes, and subsequent attention, as he referenced the video in Joan’s birthday post.
The Kansas native shared a video montage of Joan for her birthday. This collection of images was complimented by a heartfelt message. The caption begins with a dedication to Joan and ends with a good-natured response to her initial video. Chock finishes with, “Can I have my socks back?”
The Chock versus sock joke has become so popular within her fanbase that Joan has established and linked a “Chockssocks” hashtag on another post. This carousel of images includes a mountain of organized socks on the seventh slide. Her fans love the humor, as more than half of the comments on the post mention the footwear. The running joke could be another way Joan and Chock keep their fans engaged online.

No matter the reason for their wedding’s postponement, Joan and Chock have been putting time and energy into strengthening their relationship. They have communicated their expectations, integrated their families, and prepared for the commitment. The first couple seen on The Golden Bachelorette will fulfill their promises. Hopefully, Chock will ultimately choose Joan over the sock collection.
