The Golden Bachelorette star Joan Vassos found out a major secret about her fiancé, Chock Chapple, when they took their first vacation alone together to Cancún, Mexico. Joan and Chock got engaged at the end of The Golden Bachelorette season 1, and, since then, they’ve been working through the drama of trying to bring their families together and being in a long-distance relationship, especially during the holiday season. They’re still getting to know each other after getting engaged after such a short time knowing each other, and they’re discovering new things every day.
Chock revealed a secret to Joan that she never knew about him.
In an Instagram post, Chock revealed a secret to Joan, which was that he was afraid of heights, something that she never knew about him. While on their Cancún vacation, they went parasailing, during which Chock divulged his fear to Joan. He said, “This is kind of new. This is cool.” Joan then asked him, “Are you afraid of heights?” Chock answered, “A little bit,” to which Joan responded, “You never told me that you were afraid of heights!” Chock answered, “But I didn’t want to tell you!”
Chock laughed, and Joan said, “Oh no!” She then added, “So high up!” and screamed. In the comments section of the post, Golden Bachelorette host Jesse Palmer pointed out, “This would’ve been a great 1 on 1 date idea on the show!”
You never told me that you were afraid of heights!
What Chock’s Secret Means For His Relationship With Joan
Joan & Chock Are Still Getting To Know Each Other
Joan and Chock have been engaged since July 2024, but they’re still getting to know each other. The fact that Joan didn’t know that Chock was afraid of heights proves that they still have a lot to learn about each other, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Since they didn’t rush into marriage like The Golden Bachelor’s Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, who got divorced just three months later, their relationship has a much better chance of lasting.
Chock’s fear of heights isn’t a big deal for their relationship. However, the fact that Joan didn’t know about it shows that they’re still finding out little details about each other that make them who they are. They know that they align on the big things in life, such as their values and their goals, and now the little things will come to light as they continue to build their relationship.
Our Take On Chock Revealing His Secret To Joan While Up In The Air
Chock Wants To Make Joan Happy
It was very sweet that Chock didn’t tell Joan that he was afraid of heights until they were up in the air. He’d do anything to make her happy, and he most likely didn’t want to hold her back by revealing his secret. He probably thought she’d say that they shouldn’t go parasailing if she knew about his fear of heights, which is a wonderful thing because she wouldn’t want him to do something that made him feel uncomfortable. This is most likely why Chock didn’t want Joan to know about his fear of heights.
If Joan and Chock had gone on a Golden Bachelorette date that involved heights, as Jesse suggested, then she would’ve learned about his fear then. Instead, they spent their first one-on-one date at Disneyland, where they began to fall in love. It’s beautiful that Chock conquered his fear of heights with Joan by going parasailing with her on their vacation in Cancún. Hopefully, The Golden Bachelorette couple’s relationship will continue to soar.
