The Golden Bachelorette season 1 opened with Joan greeting 24 single older men, including 60-year-old Chock.

In the end, Joan gave Chock her final rose, and the couple got engaged. They immediately focused on bringing all their children together, but not all of Joan and Chock's children were on board with their relationship right away. Read on to learn more about their family drama, and to find out if all their children are on board with their relationship.

Joan's Children Had One Major Concern

Chock Set Their Minds At Ease

Chock met some of Joan's children during The Golden Bachelorette season 1 overnight date. Her children had expressed ambivalence about their mother appearing on The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette. During her season, she talked about how her children didn't want their mother kissing a bunch of different men on national television. Joan was very conscious of not embarrassing them. It's understandable if some of Joan's children may have concerns about their widowed mother marrying a man she met on a reality TV show.

Joan's daughter, Allison, and her husband, Noah, were there, as well as Nicholas and his fiancée, Brooke. Joan's other children, Erica and Luke, were not there to meet Chock. Though it's unclear why they weren't there, it did lead to speculation that they weren't as supportive of the relationship. Allison and Nicholas weren't sold either. They were worried that Chock would try to replace their father, but Chock put them at ease when he explained that he had no intention of doing so.

Joan's Confession About Family Drama

"Little Harder Right Now"

Joan and Chock were determined to blend their families into one big happy modern family unit, but things didn't go as smoothly as they'd hoped. Joan recently made some comments about their families that suggest there could already be trouble in paradise. Joan posted a clip on Instagram of her and Chock discussing their relationship. During the clip, they talk about the good parts of their relationship, but they also talk about their challenges. When Joan talks about family, she admits bringing their families together has been a "little harder right now."
