After The Golden Bachelorette ended its run in the winter of 2024, fans got to learn about Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple’s shocking decision to wait on their wedding. Despite being engaged on the show during the Season 1 finale, Vassos surprisingly expressed some reluctance in walking down the aisle for Chapple.
It seems like Joan Vassos is possibly taking the same route as The Golden Bachelor lead Gerry Turner. Considering how Turner became the villain after divorcing Theresa Nist within three months of their marriage, it seems that Vassos is raising some eyebrows about her decision to wait on her wedding. So, let’s check out the reason behind her hesitance.
Joan Vassos has yet to marry her fiance Chock Chapple
It’s been months since The Golden Bachelorette ended its run with the lead, Joan Vassos, finding her Golden partner in Chock Chapple. The couple got engaged in July 2024, when the reality TV show shot its final episode, which aired in December. However, since their engagement, it’s been months, and yet the duo haven’t set a wedding date.
Despite withstanding a lot of family drama and temptations on the show, Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple turned out to be a cute couple that fans have rooted for. But now that the couple appeared hesitant to get married, it raised concerns among fans. So, Vassos eventually told Parade why she hasn’t tied the knot yet.
I fall more and more in love with him every day. He has a great sense of humor. He’s an easy person to be around. He’s funny. My kids adore him… I am planning on marrying him. I don’t know if it’s this year.
I mean, likely it is [this year, but] we are so busy. Busy that I had never expected…We get the opportunity to do so many things now. Planning a wedding is just not on the schedule right now. It just seems like it would be an overwhelming thing to add to all that we’re already doing.
Sitting for a Zoom interview, Joan Vassos explained that she’s very much in love with Chock Chapple, but the reason they aren’t married yet is their busy schedule. Considering how they keep receiving offers to make appearances since leaving The Golden Bachelorette, Vassos noted that it’s their hectic schedule that led them to remain engaged.
Is Joan Vassos following Gerry Turner’s footsteps?
Meanwhile, claiming to be happy since getting engaged and therefore unwilling to rush things, Joan Vassos sparked a stark contrast from The Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner. Although people are worried that too much delay in getting married might loosen their bond, Vassos seems to be strikingly different from Turner.
Unlike how Gerry Turner rushed through his love story, got engaged, and even married his Golden partner Theresa Nist, within a few weeks of their engagement, Joan Vassos seems to be taking her time with her romance. And well, we all know how Turner and Nist ended up—divorced within three months of the wedding.
So, we don’t want the same fate to fall on Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple. It seems nice that the couple are taking their time and going at their own pace. However, fans are also worried that just like Gerry Turner’s love story ended up being a PR stunt just for the sake of the show, even Vassos’ relationship is another facade. Perhaps that’s the real reason why she’s hesitant to marry Chapple.
The Golden Bachelorette is available to watch on Hulu.
