Amid speculation that they’re in a showmance, The Golden Bachelorette’s Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple revealed if they want a show business-type lifestyle or if they want to get out of the public eye. Coming into The Golden Bachelorette season 1, Joan wasn’t sure if she wanted to get engaged at the end of her second attempt at finding love on TV. However, she changed her mind when she fell in love with Chock, and the two got engaged during the finale. Their love hasn’t stopped critics from questioning if Joan and Chock are a real couple or not.
Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple open up about whether they’re looking for fame after The Golden Bachelorette.
The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette made Joan and Chock famous. However, that doesn’t mean they’re seeking out fame now, despite the showmance speculation surrounding them. During an interview with ABC7, they were asked to look ahead and give fans an idea of what 2025 will look like for the newly engaged couple, and Joan said they want to be a “normal couple.” After they secure a home together in New York City, they picture themselves “walking down the street holding hands, going to a local coffee shop, just being a normal couple.”
They’ve already gotten to know their respective families, but now Joan and Chock want to meet the other’s friend group and go out to dinner with them. Outside of that, they’re also planning some “beach time” and “vacation time,” as well as watching TV shows together; in other words, “a normal life.” Joan acknowledged they haven’t had the chance to have a normal life yet because of The Golden Bachelorette. She said, “We dated on national TV; now we need to just go and have a normal life,” something Chock is really looking forward to.
What Joan & Chock’s Plans For A “Normal Life” Mean For Relationship
Joan & Chock Are Serious About Staying Together
There has been a lot of talk about Joan and Chock’s relationship since they got engaged on The Golden Bachelorette. Their critics point to supposed signs that their love is fake and they’re just pretending to be together, and that they’re seeking out fame instead of an actual relationship. However, Joan and Chock’s recent comments about their 2025 plans prove the complete opposite.
While it’s true that Joan has now starred on two reality shows, that doesn’t mean she loves the limelight and wants to be a celebrity now that she’s tasted a bit of fame. The celebrity lifestyle is not something she desires. The things she talked about for 2025 were very normal and “boring,” so to speak, which is nothing to be ashamed of. She wants to stay away from the cameras and be able to mesh her life with Chock’s so that they can ensure they’re truly compatible and will stay together.
Our Take On Joan & Chock’s Plans For A “Normal Life”
Chock Isn’t Interested In The Spotlight
Of the two people in this relationship, Chock seems like the one least interested in being a celebrity. He’s a very down-to-earth and laid-back man who applied for The Golden Bachelorette because he was looking for love. Their ABC7 interview took place at iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball. Throughout the conversation, he kept glancing around and didn’t really seem interested in being on the red carpet, which he admitted. Both Joan and Chock want some normalcy now that The Golden Bachelorette is over, and that’s a life they deserve after having to deal with so much scrutiny over the past several months.
