When asked by a user during an Instagram Story Q&amp;A when the couple were planning to tie the knot, Chock, 61, replied, \u201cWe get asked all the time.\u201d \u201cSomebody today at lunch said, \u2019[20]25?\u2019\u201d Chock [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Vassos and Chapple met on <em>The Golden Bachelorette<\/em> season 1 in 2024, where she ultimately <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/golden-bachelorette-joan-vassos-chock-chapples-relationship-timeline\/\">accepted his proposal.<\/a> After the show, the couple exclusively told <em>Us Weekly<\/em> that they were splitting their time between their hometowns in Maryland and Kansas <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/golden-bachelorettes-joan-and-chock-detail-plans-to-move-to-nyc\/\">while also apartment hunting<\/a> in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis first year, obviously, we have to kind of figure out life. Chock has a business in Kansas. I have kids and grandkids and Maryland. I\u2019m not leaving Maryland, but he does have obligations in Kansas,\u201d Vassos told <em>Us<\/em> in November 2024. \u201cWe know that we\u2019re gonna spend time in Maryland and in Kansas, but then we have this really fun plan because both of us have always dreamed \u2014 and we\u2019re finally at this weird stage in life for making this dream come true \u2014 that we live in a big city, and, specifically, we\u2019ve always wanted to live in New York. So Chock surprised me and said, \u2018I want us to go find a place.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next year, Vassos shared that she and Chapple <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/golden-bachelorette-joan-vassos-wants-critics-to-let-her-chock-have-fun\/\">don\u2019t feel in a rush<\/a> to live together.<\/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>\u201cIt\u2019s been crazy. It\u2019s totally unexpected. We both thought when we came off the show, we\u2019d just live a life as a couple. We didn\u2019t realize that the opportunities would continue, which has been such a blessing,\u201d she told <em>Us<\/em> in April. \u201cWe have lived a little bit of a jet set life and we don\u2019t have to plan all of our meetings. When we don\u2019t have anything to do for a TV or radio or podcast or whatever, we do have to figure out when we\u2019re gonna get together, but we have so many of those weaved into him coming to Maryland or me going to Kansas that we actually haven\u2019t spent a lot of times at either one of each other\u2019s homes, which is exactly what we thought we would be doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the pair navigates life without the cameras, Vassos explained that she and Chapple are looking forward to tying the knot one day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChock and I are in that part of it. It\u2019s been great every second of it and it\u2019s, maybe, solidified our relationship more and more and made that leap of faith seem like we absolutely did the right thing. We will get married, but we are not ready to plan a wedding out,\u201d she told <em>Us<\/em>. \u201cI\u2019m meeting his friends, he\u2019s meeting my friends. We\u2019re spending time getting to know each other even more. There\u2019s no rush. I don\u2019t have a biological clock. I\u2019m over that. I have four kids. It does [add] to the whole element of it. We\u2019re not dying to build a house together. We both have homes. We have all those things that we\u2019re not worried about doing. We\u2019re just having fun being together. I want to say, like, \u2018Let us be together! Let\u2019s just have fun and date!\u2019 We will get married, I just don\u2019t know when.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.usmagazine.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos and fianc\u00e9 Chock Chapple are soaking up some quality time together after spending more than a month apart. \u201cWe are back in New York because it\u2019s our fun place that we get to go,\u201d Vassos, 62, said via Instagram on Saturday, October 4. \u201cWe haven\u2019t seen each other in over [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2070686,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25177],"tags":[305646,24003,164683,21738],"class_list":["post-2070685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrities","tag-bachelor-nation","tag-celebrity-news","tag-love-lives","tag-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Golden-Bachelorettes-Joan-and-Chock-Reunite-After-1-Month-Apart.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2070685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2070685"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2070685\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2070687,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2070685\/revisions\/2070687"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2070686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2070685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2070685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2070685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
