ABC’s “The Golden Bachelorette” has officially come to an end and Joan picked her man!
Joan is now engaged to Chock!
Chock, a widower who lost his fiancée Cathy to cancer in 2022, sails through meeting with Joan’s four grown kids: Nicholas, Erica, Allison, and Luke.
Chock assures Joan’s son, Nick, that it’s not his intention to replace their father, John, who died from pancreatic cancer in 2021. “I’m just here to make your mom happy,” Chock said.

In The Golden Bachelorette finale, Joan became engaged to Chock Chapple, an insurance executive from Wichita, Kansas. After going down the aisle to Joan, Chock told her he couldn’t wait to honor her late husband, John, by loving her every day. He expressed his love for her multiple times, telling her how much he wanted her to be part of his life. Joan shared that she had envisioned a future with Chock from their first date at Disneyland and eventually fell in love with him.
Following the touching proposal, the couple FaceTimed Joan’s mom from the beach, who was thrilled to meet her daughter’s new partner. “I never in a million years thought I’d feel love like this again. Ever,” Joan said.

Huge congratulations to the two!
After her time was cut short on the inaugural season of “The Golden Bachelor,” Joan Vassos, the 61-year-old grandmother and school administrator from Rockland, Maryland, will begin her own journey for new love this fall when she steps into the historic role as the first Golden Bachelorette. The fan favorite will bring her signature grace and charm as she embarks on a search for her next person, showcasing that everyone is worthy of more than just a second chance at love, when “The Golden Bachelorette” premieres Wednesdays this fall on ABC and streams next day on Hulu.
Vassos is a remarkable woman whose life has been defined by her resilience, zest for adventure and strong family values. It was those family values that led to her heartbreaking decision to leave “The Golden Bachelor,” self-eliminating after a medical concern with her daughter arose. Despite that and other challenges she’s faced along the way – including the heartbreaking loss of her husband after 32 years of marriage – Vassos remains an embodiment of strength and grace as a devoted mother of four, grandmother of two, and school administrator, while finding solace in the music of Elton John, spending time with her dog, and cooking. Now, as she steps into the golden spotlight and begins her journey to seek love once more, Vassos envisions a future filled with shared moments by the beach and cherished time with family.
