Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple have been attached at the hip since getting engaged on The Golden Bachelorette, but Joan recently stepped out on her own. There's more to the 61-year-old private school administrator than her relationship with 60-year-old Chock. The couple came to public prominence when they met on The Golden Bachelorette, but Joan made her television debut on The Golden Bachelor. When things didn't work out with 72-year-old Gerry Turner, she was announced as The Bachelor spin-off's first female lead.
Joan opened The Golden Bachelorette season 1 by standing outside the Bachelor mansion greeting a fleet of limousines carrying her 24 single Golden men. Among the impressive divorcees and widowers was Chock, an insurance executive from Kansas. Joan gave Chock her first solo date and her last solo date, which came with her final rose. In turn, he gave her a diamond ring. The engaged couple has been together constantly ever since, but Joan recently stepped out on her own.
Joan & Chock Have Been Together Around The Clock
They Love Being Together
After finding each other on The Golden Bachelorette season 1, Joan and Chock never wanted to let each other go. They've been together ever since, often posting about their relationship milestones on social media. They recently celebrated their first holiday together, gathering the Vassos and Chapple families at Joan's house in Maryland for Thanksgiving, and they're planning to spend Christmas at Chock's home in Kansas.
Joan Attended An Event On Her Own
She Guest Hosted A Lunch
Though Joan and Chock have been blissfully happy, she doing her own thing now, proving she's still an independent woman. Joan recently attended a media lunch event and posted photos to Instagram. The photos are of Joan posing with various members of the staff, and her caption reads, "Had so much fun guest hosting the LION Lunch Hour at @fox5dc last week! Thank you to everyone at the station for welcoming me into your morning show family... I felt right at home!"
Chock Took A Break Too
He Was Out With The Boys
Like Joan, Chock was recently spotted taking a relationship break and posted the photos on Instagram. He recently attended a Kansas Chiefs football game with several other cast members from The Golden Bachelorette season 1. Among the familiar faces were 62-year-old Keith Gordon, 61-year-old Jordan Heller, and 60-year-old Gil Ramirez. Though Chock seemed to have a great time at the game, he probably couldn't wait to get back to The Golden Bachelorette. As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
