Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple’s journey on The Golden Bachelorette ended in a fairy tale. On November 13, Chock proposed with a stunning Neil Lane ring.
Some fans felt the couple seemed distant during After The Final Rose. But, their chemistry shone in a playful interview on Good Morning America.
From teasing each other about who loves who more to sweetly debating who complains more when sick, Joan and Chock couldn’t stop smiling.
Their dynamic was filled with warmth and genuine affection. Chock insisted, “I love you more,” to which Joan quickly replied, “No, you don’t!” The flirty exchange was enough to convince even the most skeptical viewers that this couple is deeply in love. Their joy was contagious, and the banter proved that they are in it for the long haul.

But that’s just the beginning. By the end of the week, Joan and Chock will be searching for their dream apartment in New York City.

“I have kids and grandkids in Maryland, and I’m not leaving them,” Joan shared, while Chock reassured her, “I would never ask you to be too far from your family.”
