Joan Vassos got engaged to Chock Chapple at the end of The Golden Bachelorette, but there are signs she's more interested in being famous than being happily married. 61-year-old Joan is no stranger to true love, as she had found it once before. She was married to John Vassos for 32 years, and they had four children together before he passed away in 2021. Joan was devastated by the loss. She never expected to have to re-enter the dating pool in her golden years, but that's where she found herself.
Like Joan, 60-year-old Chock had experienced great loss in his life. Long before joining the cast of The Golden Bachelorette season 1, he was engaged to Katherine Goree for nine years before she passed away in 2022. Joan gave Chock her first solo date of the season, and she went on to give him her final rose. The couple left the show as an engaged couple and have seemed blissfully happy ever since, but there are signs Joan could be in it for fame.
