The Golden Bachelorette winner Chock Chapple met his fiancée Joan Vassos’ ex-boyfriend, The Golden Bachelor season 1 star Gerry Turner, at The Bachelor season 29 finale, during which it was revealed that leading man Grant Ellis and Juliana Pasquarosa are engaged. The Golden Bachelorette season 1 ended with Chock and Joan getting engaged, after Joan had appeared on Gerry’s Golden Bachelor season the previous year. Although they were building a strong connection, Joan had to leave Gerry’s season early to deal with a family emergency, but the two have remained good friends.
Joan shared a photograph of herself sitting between Chock and Gerry in the audience of The Bachelor season 29 finale.
In an Instagram post, Joan shared a photograph of herself sitting between Chock and Gerry in the audience of The Bachelor season 29 finale. Chock had his arm around Joan in the photograph, while both she and Gerry sat with their hands on their laps. All three had big smiles.
Joan captioned the post, “When your fiancé meets the first guy you dated on national television… #thegoldenbachelor #thegoldenbachelorette.” During The Golden Bachelor, Gerry eventually got engaged to Theresa Nist, and they got married shortly after in a live, televised event called the Golden Wedding, but they announced that they were getting a divorce just three months later.

What Chock Meeting Gerry Turner Means For Relationship With Joan
Joan & Gerry Are Still Good Friends
It was inevitable that Chock would meet Gerry, considering that they’re both still very popular Bachelor Nation members who’ll be featured at events for many years to come. In addition, Joan has remained friends with Gerry, and she’s revealed that they still text each other. He even appeared on her Golden Bachelorette season to give her advice. Because Gerry’s Golden Bachelor season was filmed over a year ago, enough time has passed that his and Joan’s relationship has developed into a strong friendship that poses no threat to her engagement to Chock.
Our Take On Chock Chapple & Gerry Turner Meeting Each Other
Chock & Gerry Could Become Friends
Although it might’ve been slightly awkward for Chock to meet one of Joan’s ex-boyfriends, Joan and Gerry’s relationship really wasn’t that serious, so I think it’s possible that the two men could become friends. They have the shared experience of starring on the reality dating series for seniors and being thrown into the public eye, so they certainly have a lot in common. The fact that Joan posted about them meeting is a good sign that Chock and Gerry’s first encounter went well.
Although Joan has admitted that she’s experiencing new stressors in her life after The Golden Bachelorette, which could possibly be due to her and Chock’s long-distance relationship, despite their recent reunion in his hometown of Wichita, Kansas, they seemed very happy at The Bachelor season 29 finale. I feel that it would be nice if they continued to be friends with Gerry, especially in light of his recent cancer diagnosis. Joan, Chock, and Gerry are wished all the best as they move into the next chapters of their lives.
