I\u2019ve been doing some really fun posts \u2018cause I\u2019m on a cruise in the Mediterranean with my friend Nancy,\u201d the Golden Bachelorette, 62, said in an <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNBzcLyOhvA\/\">Instagram video<\/a> on Wednesday August 6. \u201cWe are sitting at a lounge right now waiting to get our drinks and I have been reading through some of the comments and it seems like a lot of you are worried that Chock isn\u2019t here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued: \u201cI just want to make sure everybody knows that Chock isn\u2019t here \u2018cause he was on a graduation trip with his son. He bought him a nice trip for graduation so he was on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vassos added that she was \u201clucky enough\u201d to have Nancy by her side for the getaway as Chapple, 61, was \u201cunavailable\u201d during this time due to his prior arrangement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not \u2018cause Chock and I aren\u2019t together. We are. I actually really miss him and I can\u2019t wait to see him,\u201d she confessed. \u201cIn about 10 days, we\u2019re going to be together. We already have that flight booked and we\u2019re ready to be together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vassos reiterated that she and Chapple are doing \u201cgreat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI miss him and I love him and we are still together,\u201d she said. \u201cSo thanks for your concern, I really appreciate it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chapple, for his part, took to the comments section to offer more details about his adventure with his son, Tyler.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGirls trip- I support this 1000%!!!\u201d he replied. \u201cMy son, Tyler and I had a blast in Africa. We had this trip planned for 4 years and were delayed due to Covid and his college graduation last year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chapple added that planning the trip was more difficult than expected due to his and Tyler\u2019s busy schedules, as his son got a job \u201cright after school\u201d and he filmed <em>The Golden Bachelorette<\/em> last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cScheduling was a slight challenge due to Joan\u2019s show last year and a few commitments on my end. Have fun ladies and see you next week- love ya,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Vassos and Chapple met and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/golden-bachelorette-joan-vassos-chock-chapples-relationship-timeline\/\">fell in love<\/a> during the inaugural season of <em>The Golden Bachelorette<\/em>.
