The Golden Bachelorette‘s Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple were eager to blend their families after getting engaged, but there might be family drama getting in the way. 61-year-old Joan and 60-year-old Chock fell in love after meeting on The Bachelor spin-off. Joan made her television debut many months before when she competed for Gerry Turner’s roses on The Golden Bachelor season 1. When she had to leave the season early due to a family emergency, Joan was cast as the spin-off’s first female lead.
Joan met Chock during the premiere night of The Golden Bachelorette season 1 when he was one of 24 single Golden men vying for her heart. Joan gave Chock her first solo date, and the relationship grew closer throughout the season. In the end, she gave Chock her final rose, and the couple got engaged. Joan and Chock rode off into the sunset together, but they ran into some unexpected family drama that could get in the way of their happy ending.
Joan & Chock Have Six Children Between Them
Nicholas, Allison, Erica, Luke, Taylor & Tyler
Long before joining the cast of The Golden Bachelor season 1, Joan was married to John Vassos for 32 years before he died in 2021. They had four children together: Nicholas, Allison, Erica, and Luke Vassos. Before appearing on The Golden Bachelorette season 1, Chock was a divorced father of two children, Taylor and Tyler Chapple. After getting engaged, Joan and Chock wanted to bring their families together, but it may be a bigger challenge than they expected.
Chock’s Lawyer Meeting May Have Been Misconstrued
Just Visiting Friends
Chock recently posted a photo on his Instagram Story that shocked many. He posted a photo of himself smiling and posing outside a law firm called The Bull Attorneys Injury Lawyers. The winner of The Golden Bachelorette season 1 added a caption that read, “Stopped by to say hi to my friends at Bull Attorneys!” Some Bachelor Nation fans misread his visit to an attorney’s office to mean he was drafting up a prenuptial agreement, but injury lawyers wouldn’t do that sort of thing.

Putting On A Performance
Since getting engaged on The Golden Bachelorette season 1, Joan and Chock have seemed like the perfect couple. Their social media feeds are filled with photos and footage from their blissfully happy lives together, but some speculate that this could be a performance. Joan and Chock may be deeply in love, but they could also be trying to turn their 15 minutes of fame from being on The Golden Bachelorette into lucrative careers as social media influencers.
