Back home in Kansas, The Golden Bachelorette’s Chock Chapple has a new reason to celebrate, but his relationship with Joan Vassos could be in jeopardy, as there have been major signs a breakup is coming. Throughout The Golden Bachelorette season 1, Joan worked hard to try and find the second love of her life after loss. Years after her husband, John Vassos, passed away in 2021, Joan felt ready to pursue a new relationship. After meeting Chock, despite red flags, she fell for him and accepted his proposal, but the couple may be struggling more than they’re letting on.
The Golden Bachelorette’s Chock Chapple revealed that he received an honor in his home state of Kansas.
Amid signs of a breakup from the pair, Chock revealed that he received an honor in his home state of Kansas. Posting a now-expired photo on his Instagram Story, Chock shared that he and Joan’s photos were officially hung on the wall of a local restaurant, which he’s proud of for many reasons. Revealing that the restaurant hung a photo of him and Joan with one owner, and Chock on his own with another, he shared, “We made it on the wall,” and tagged Joan in his Instagram Story, as she’s been in New York searching for their new home.
What Chock & Joan’s Restaurant Tribute Means For Relationship
The Pair Is Being Memorialized, Even If They’re Not Doing Well
Although Joan and Chock have been dealing with issues in their relationship, it’s possible that things don’t seem as difficult outwardly when the couple met in person. With Chock sharing that the restaurant hung two photos of him, one with Joan and one without, it’s clear that he’s excited about the honor of making it onto the wall of a place he enjoys. While the cheeky Instagram Story is both a nod to his relationship with Joan and a place close to home, Chock’s excitement could be a bit disingenuous after being accused of chasing clout and seeking attention.
Despite the fact that Chock shared the image of his photos on the wall with Bachelor Nation for fun, it’s clear that he’s excited he and Joan’s relationship is getting some extra attention in his home state. One of the biggest issues Bachelor Nation has had with Chock throughout the season and in its aftermath is that he seems like he could be a clout chaser, and the story unfortunately brings him closer to that possibility. While Chock may have had good intentions, it’s possible his Instagram Story could reveal reasons why his relationship with Joan is in trouble.

Chock’s Hometown Restaurant Gave Them A Sweet Honor
Although it could be read as a weird flex, Chock sharing the photo of his and Joan’s photos being hung on the wall in a local restaurant is, in some ways, a sweet acknowledgment. While the pair is hunting for their new New York City home, it seems clear that Joan and Chock have been enjoying their time in both Kansas and Maryland, and to have them acknowledged by a local restaurant must be exciting for Chock. Despite Bachelor Nation’s issues with The Golden Bachelorette winner, Chock could simply be sharing to celebrate his sweet excitement.
