“The Golden Bachelorette” stars Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple are engaged and happily embracing their lives together publicly now that their season has ended. In a recent string of Instagram Stories, Chapple provided some updates on how his relationship with Vassos is progressing.
Specifically, Chapple addressed a fan question about when a wedding might happen. He suggested a loose timeline the pair is considering, and it is clear they are in no rush to tie the knot.
Chock Chapple Noted the Couple Is Asked About a Wedding Date ‘All the Time’
In his Instagram Stories, Chapple answered some questions from “The Golden Bachelorette” fans. Naturally, he received a question about when he and Vassos plan to get married. “We get asked all the time” about that, he admitted.
Chapple shared, “Somebody at lunch said, ‘[20]25?’ and I said, ‘Maybe at the end of [20]25 or [20]26.'”
Based on what Chapple said about a potential wedding date, it seems nothing is set in stone yet, and the couple is in no rush to start making solid plans. At best, according to this latest update, late 2025 is the earliest “The Golden Bachelorette” couple thinks they would plan to wed.
He also shared that the pair is “having a lot of fun together just getting to know each other.” In his opinion, it’s “time well spent” and Chapple added that they continue to get closer to one another as they spend more time together in the real world.
‘The Golden Bachelorette’ Stars Have Always Anticipated Having a Long Engagement
After “The Golden Bachelorette” finale aired, the couple talked with Us Weekly about what would come next for them. They noted at the time they envisioned a “Long engagement, -ish.”
The pair made it clear they wouldn’t have a quickie wedding like “The Golden Bachelor” stars Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner. However, Vassos and Chapple are open to televising the wedding if the opportunity presents itself.
Chapple and Vassos are not focused on wedding plans at the moment. However, they are working on one big thing related to their relationship. They decided to find an apartment in New York City that would be something of a rendezvous spot for them.
In his recent Instagram Story updates, Chapple indicated they were getting closer to finding the perfect apartment. He noted there wasn’t much inventory available in the area they hoped to land, but they felt they were getting closer to deciding on one.
They will continue to maintain their separate homes in Kansas and Maryland for now. However, so far, Chapple has traveled to Maryland and NYC frequently to spend time with Vassos. She spent New Year’s Eve in Kansas with Chapple and his friends as well.
