What Joan & Chock’s Reunion In NYC Means For Relationship

Joan & Chock Don't Want The Pressures Of Marriage Right Now

Fans are always speculating about the state of Joan and Chock's relationship. After quick weddings like the one Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist had, it seems like some of the more recent couples, like The Bachelor's Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson, and Joan and Chock, are more than willing to take their time. Amid the rumors and speculation, the couple recently admitted that they won't be getting married anytime soon because it would put a strain on their relationship if they exchanged vows now. It sounds like they want to be living together first before getting married.

Right now, Joan and Chock are still living in their respective houses in Maryland and Kansas. They visit each other regularly and sometimes jet off to places like New York City to spend time together. At one point, they announced they were planning to buy a place together in New York, but those discussions seem to have dissipated; it's unclear if those plans are still in the works or not. Considering Joan and Chock are in New York right now, it's possible they're looking at homes. Then again, it could just be a vacation with family.
