Chock explained that he was married to his ex-wife Heather for 12 years before they decided to get divorced. She gave him two beautiful children who are now grown and living on the East Coast.

Following his divorce he ended up with Kathy. He and Kathy were engaged and together for nine years. Sadly, she passed away in 2022 and they had never gotten married. Now, he’s revealing why.

Chock said,

“We both had kids in elementary and high school and she was very adamant about getting the kids out of school before we got married. That was a decision that I supported. And the reason why I bring that up is I wanted to get married. … I wanted to show [Joan] how committed I was to her and how much I loved her.”

So, it turns out he was not afraid of commitment and was following Kathy’s wishes. Now, he’s ready to start his life with Joan.
