Joan Vassos Engaged
Joan Vassos expressed a lot of fear and doubt at the end of The Golden Bachelorette. She was unsure about whether she’d be able to love anyone again like she loved her late husband, John. Fans were also convinced that Joan would end up alone.
Despite the uncertainty, Joan Vassos got her happy ever after she sent runner-up, Guy Gansert home. While Joan initially said that an engagement wasn’t the end goal, she said ‘yes’ when Chock Chapple proposed.

Even before her Golden Bachelorette journey started, Joan Vassos made it clear that she would not move away from her family in Maryland. She even told Gerry Turner that when she was a contestant on The Golden Bachelor. Chock Chapple also has strong roots in his home state of Kansas.
But things change. After they went public with their engagement, Joan and Chock had some huge news to share with Us Weekly. They plan to move to New York City together. Joan explained her change of heart.
“We have this really fun plan because both of us have always dreamed — and we’re finally at this weird stage in life for making this dream come true — that we live in a big city, and, specifically, we’ve always wanted to live in New York. So Chock surprised me and said, ‘I want us to go find a place.’”

She added that they will still spend a lot of time in Kansas and Maryland, especially for the first year while they figure things out. Joan’s kids and grandkids live in Maryland and Chock’s kids are also based on the east coast.
Joan said, “That makes the decision maybe a little bit easier. And I don’t think I’d ever thought I would say this, but I’m excited to go and spend time in Kansas [too]!”
She said that her fiance has a “great life” with “great friends” that she can’t wait to spend more time with. But before they make the big move to NYC, they plan a huge engagement party in L.A.
“It’s gonna be bigger than most weddings. We’ve got friends coming in from around the country, and it’s kind of our coming-out party as a couple. We’re extremely excited about that,” Chock said.

Bachelor Nation fans may recall that Bachelor Joey Graziadei and his fiance also made plans to move to NYC, but it never happened. Do you think Chock and Joan will have better luck going through with the move?
