“We’re Making the Most of This” — Golden Bachelorette’s Joan Vassos & Chock Chapple Reveal Unusual Bonding Ritual Amid Fame-Chasing Rumors

The Golden Bachelorette's winning couple Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple are opening up about the techniques they use to stay bonded amid long-distance struggles, even amid signs that they're using their fame for personal gain. After getting to know one another throughout The Golden Bachelorette season 1, Joan and Chock have spent the majority of their time together sharing more about their relationship on social media. Though they've been long-distance more often than not, the couple has done a good job at ensuring they're spending time together consistently, even with some signs that things haven't been perfect in their relationship.

Sharing some photos from Joan's recent trip to Wichita, Kansas, which saw her spending time with Chock after he had an undisclosed surgery, it was revealed that the couple had some interesting ways of keeping the romance alive. "Some time in Wichita with @joan_vassos this past weekend," Chock shared, along with photos of himself and Joan getting pedicures at a local nail salon, shopping at Home Goods together, and seeing a theatre production in Wichita. Joan and Chock have been spending time apart in recent months, so their recent time together allowed them to slow down and invest in each other.

What Joan & Chock’s Pedicure Date Means For Relationship

Joan & Chock Are Open To New Experiences

Although Joan and Chock have spent a lot of time together in the last few months, the pair has been busy in the last few months more often than not. While Joan had originally been looking at real estate in NYC for the couple to move into, it appears things have slowed down a fair bit and their relationship has become more Wichita-based than before. Even with Joan spending more time in Wichita, the pair hasn't opened up about their mundane, day-to-day lives together much before, so seeing them sitting down to get a pedicure or shopping around was refreshing.

Despite the fact that Chock doesn't always appear to be an open book, the majority of his content surrounding his relationship with Joan has been based around their domestic lives together, especially when she's in Wichita. The pair getting a pedicure together and sharing their weekend on social media is a nice departure from the more lavish brand trips and other moments of luxury Bachelor Nation has seen the pair share. While their influencer lifestyles have been a big part of their post-Golden Bachelorette journey, Joan and Chock sharing relatable content makes them seem easier to reach.
