The Golden Bachelorette: Joan Vassos & Chock Chapple Reveal Startling Length They've Been Apart Amid Christmas Reuniting

   

The Golden Bachelorette star Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple revealed just how long they’ve been apart prior to the Christmas holiday, sparking some speculation about their relationship. Joan, who originally appeared on The Golden Bachelor season 1 as a contestant hoping to win Gerry Turner’s heart, was excited for the chance to find love after loss. After losing her late husband John Vassos in 2021, Joan was thrilled at the chance to find someone new and got the chance to lead The Golden Bachelorette after leaving the original series early. Joan ultimately found and fell for Chock, despite viewer backlash.

In a recent Instagram post, Joan shared that she and Chock had been apart for a longer than usual time ahead of the Christmas holidays, sparking some relationship speculation. Sharing that though they’re finally back under the same roof, she and Chock were apart for about two weeks before the Christmas holidays, Joan seemed happy to have her fiancé back home. “This is the longest we’ve been apart,” Joan shared, explaining that “absence really does make the heart grow fonder.” While Joan and Chock are happy to be back together, their taking so long apart could be a red flag.

What Joan & Chock's Lengthy Time Apart Means

Their Relationship Withstood An Early Test

Although Joan and Chock were able to be apart prior to The Golden Bachelorette finale from time to time, the pair seems to have been together for the last few months aside from some days apart. With the last two weeks before the Christmas holiday keeping them apart entirely, the couple have spent the most time they’ve ever spent apart in their relationship. While the pair have been doing long-distance when necessary, Joan and Chock have been struggling to keep themselves settled into their relationship when they’ve been apart for a time.

Throughout the last few weeks, Joan and Chock have been quieter on social media than they were when they were together, likely because they were apart and missing one another. As they moved through their time apart, the pair were surely counting down the days to being together again for the Christmas holidays. With so much speculation and backlash surrounding their relationship, Chock and Joan were likely doing their best to lay low so they didn’t bring more negative attention to themselves. Now that they’re back on the same turf, it’s clear The Golden Bachelorette pair have surpassed a test.

Our Take On Joan & Chock Reuniting

The Couple Is Happy To Be Spending Their First Christmas Together

Although Joan and Chock are finally back together after the first test of their relationship, it’s possible their time apart was more of a struggle than they’re letting on. The couple may be happy to spend their first Christmas together, but their relationship has been suffering through their time apart. Even though they missed one another, Joan and Chock’s post to share that they’d reunited was made purposefully, to share that they’re back in the same place. Being outward about them being reunited could be a bad sign for The Golden Bachelorette.
