Joan Vassos & Chock Chapple Will Start Planning Their Wedding In 2025 (Their Relationship Is Strong Despite Rumors)

Stars of The Golden Bachelorette, Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple, have attracted criticism for their postponed marriage, but will undoubtedly commit as promised. The newly engaged couple found love on The Bachelor's senior spin-off, with Chock grabbing Joan’s attention with their first introduction. His charming personality, good looks, and Chock-A-Noodle soup landed him the season’s first one-on-one date. Their love blossomed on this magical Disneyland date, and the season’s winner became clear.

Joan chose Chock as the recipient of her final rose. The insurance executive proposed to Joan during the finale of The Golden Bachelorette season 1, and the couple have been together ever since. When the finale aired, Joan and Chock were permitted to post their relationship publicly. The pair have been frequently updating fans with their holiday plans across their social media platforms. From New York to California, Joan and Chock are inseparable. Despite rumors of turmoil in the relationship, Joan and Chock have done everything right. Fans can expect the couple to share wedding plans shortly.

New York Will Be Perfect For Them

Joan and Chock share a lot of similarities. During their stint on the show, they established shared values, perspectives, and priorities. Notably, they both expressed how important their families are. Subsequently, neither party was willing to move away from their hometown. Maybe they will when their relationship is more established. Right now, the couple is making the long-distance relationship work.

Joan and Chock's New York trip updates were shared shortly after the season’s conclusion. They plan on purchasing a home in the area as a shared space. In a video posted to Joan’s TikTok, she shares the events of their apartment hunt. The pair were radiant, as this stage marked a new era in their lives. Although they haven't located their perfect place, Joan seems optimistic, stating, “Hopefully, by the end of 2024, we will have a place in New York City.” The couple seems prepared to put in the work and time that relocation requires.

Joan’s time estimate indicates that the couple is deeply involved with seeing what's on offer in the housing market. The fact that they are following through on their promises bodes well for their relationship. Rather than making bold claims to entertain their fan base, they are remaining faithful to their plans. Fans can expect the same follow-through with regard to their wedding arrangements.

This shared apartment will be the perfect location for their endeavors. Not only is New York (specifically SoHo) a beautiful location, but it is filled with opportunity. Joan and Chock have been offered plenty of sponsorships, gigs, and guest appearances across the country. As a central hub for film and television, New York may provide more TV-related opportunities. They will undoubtedly find an apartment that helps them to improve their relationship and career.

Joan & Chock Are Attached At The Hip

They Still Understand The Importance Of Independence

Although long-distance relationships can be difficult to maintain, Joan and Chock are doing everything right. They have taken every opportunity to spend time together. From photoshoots to personal Disneyland invites, they are joined at the hip. As the holidays approach, the couple are balancing couple time with the blending of their families. Joan and Chock want their families to get along. While each stepped away to see their families, they're spending the holidays together.

This is a major step in any serious relationship as family always takes priority. Their children and grandchildren have remained flexible on their behalf. In an interview with Parade, they share their excitement with fans. Chock states, “We’re going to spend both Thanksgiving and Christmas, my kids and I, with Joan and her family.” The pair look overjoyed at the prospect. Joan goes on to explain how happy sharing meal preparation tasks makes her. It seems as though the pair have been openly communicating their plans and expectations for the holidays.

While they clearly enjoy each other’s presence, they are giving each other some personal space. Joan’s recent posts have surrounded her professional growth rather than their relationship. It seems as though Chock has stepped away to focus on his career and hometown commitments. It’s important that the couple doesn’t establish co-dependent tendencies. Joan and Chock appear to understand this as they promote independence and self-reliance.

Joan & Chock Genuinely Enjoy Being Together

They Are Willing To Make Sacrifices

In every joint post, the couple beams with joy. While The Bachelor's relationships have a bad reputation as many of them end in breakups, Joan and Chock remain a beacon of light. They prove that love can be found even in challenging environments. It seems that, despite all circumstances, Joan and Chock truly found their other half on the show.

Most importantly, they remain flexible, accommodating of each other's needs and responsibilities. While they undoubtedly want to share the majority of their time together, they understand the importance of time alone. This can be very difficult for new couples to grapple with, so their self-awareness is more than commendable.

Even when together, the pair understand the importance of self-sufficiency. In a video posted to Joan’s Instagram, she walks audiences through a mac and cheese recipe. She begins the video by claiming that, because Chock was enjoying some much-needed bonding time with her son, she would be cooking the quick recipe by herself. While she could have pulled Chock away from the fire pit and her son, she recognizes the importance of space and familial support. The couple, without a doubt, are respectful of each other’s needs, even if that means making sacrifices.
