Life is full of amazing and tragic twists and turns, andThe Golden Bachelorettestar Joan Vassos has had a taste of it all. The Maryland native has seen a lot in life, from falling in love to losing the love of her life to cancer. Now, when most people would give up on finding love again, she is still out there, navigating the ‘harsh waters’ to get another chance.
The school administrator and interior designer was previously seen onThe Golden Bachelor, before landing the lead in its spin-off,The Golden Bachelorette. Throughout season one of the series, fans saw her going on dates with several contestants, sending quite a few fan-favorite ones home, before eventually ending up with Chock Chapple and Guy Gansert.
While all signs are pointing towards Chapple being the eventual winner and conqueror of Vassos’ heart, there are also signs that the Wichita native might end up breaking our golden bachelorette’s heart, leaving fans with yet another tragic and unfulfilled love story in the wake of Gary Turner and Theresa Nist’s divorce.
So, as we await the results of the series’ season one, here is why Chock Chapple might not be the right pick for Joan Vassos.
The Golden Bachelorette’sJoan Vassos and Chock Chapple
Joan Vassos, for the most part ofThe Golden Bachelorette, has appeared too hung over her late husband. The reality TV star, hailing from Rockville, Maryland was in a long and happy marriage with her husband, John, for over 32 years. Having lost him in 2021, Vassos, throughout the series appeared as if she was looking for a love and relationship exactly as she shared with her late husband.
Meanwhile, Chock Chapple is from Wichita, Kansas, and works as an insurance executive. One of the multiple contestants on the show, he quickly became a favorite of many when he appeared as a ‘lonely’ yet incredibly adventurous person, taking Vassos on a Disneyland date.
Given how much fun the duo had on the said date, fans quickly narrowed him down as the ideal contestant for Vassos to end up with and it seems the reality TV star too has had the same idea. While Joan lost her husband to cancer, Chock’s fiancée too passed away tragically within five months of being diagnosed with brain cancer.
Hence, Joan and Chock, not only bonded over the loss of their loved ones but both appear to be highly family-oriented, a trait that Vassos had been looking for. So, whileeverything seems to point out that the Kansas native might have won the show, they might not be the best pair. Given Chock’s past romantic life, he doesn’t seem to be the right choice for Joan at all.
A Look at Chock Chapple’s Troubled Romantic Past
Chock Chapple seems like a delightful person, who is seeking to find a romantic partner who is not only compassionate but also as adventurous as him. And Joan Vassos is all of the above and more, making the two a perfect choice for each other.
Yet, given Chapple’s romantic history, there is a possibility hemight not be who Joan is looking for. Long before making his way toThe Golden Bachelorette, Chapple was married to Heather Chapple for 12 years. The duo share two kinds, both of them in their late teens, Taylor and Tyler Chapple.
Chock Chapple’s Traumatic Past May Become the Reason Why His Potential Love Story With Joan Vassos Turns into a Nightmare
Despite him and his ex-wife being on good terms and having a great co-parenting relationship, a divorce is never nice. Furthermore, after divorcing Heather,The Golden Bachelorettecontestant met Katherine Elizabeth White Goree, with who he had a long engagement of over nine years before her sudden death in 2022.
Apart from his divorce, the long engagement period he had with his late fiancée suggests that Chapple might not be willing to commit. Although it is possible that his divorce or some other personal reason might have prevented their marriage, there is a possibility that he might struggle to fully embrace a new relationship with Joan Vassos.
His past, combined with Joan’s own journey of healing after losing her husband, can possibly complicate their potential for a healthy, loving, and lasting connection.
Troubled Romantic Life is Not the Only Red Flag Chock Chapple Has
Throughout the first season ofThe Golden Bachelorette, Chock Chapple has been leading the competition with his natural charm and affectionate behavior. Not only did he win Joan Vassos’s heart on the first date, but also made her feel a sense of security that she was missing since the passing of her husband.
He further won hearts when he decided to briefly leave the show when his mother passed away, showcasing that family always comes first for him. However, while he is nice, honest, and generous, fans have found many red flags in him as well.

One can notice how Chock declared his love for Vassos expecting she too would be feeling the same, pretty early on in their exploration for love. Not only that, he kept talking of a future with the reality TV star without asking or awaiting her input, a massive red flag. Furthermore, he seems to expect Joan should give him her undivided attention, an action that is unfair to the other contestants.
Even when they were on a group date at a bowling alley, he snuggled up to the reality TV star, allegedly separating her from the other contestants. Even though several men felt it was inappropriate, Joan did not seem to mind. Several fans also feel that Chock inviting Joan to a ceremony honoring his late mother was far too early given they weren’t even in a relationship back then and it all seemed like a manipulative technique to make Vassos say yes.
Given his past romantic relationships and his apparently controlling behavior, he seems like too much of a red flag for Joan Vassos. While he can make the reality TV star feel safe and secure, a fact she herself expressed, this could end up being detrimental to herself and her family in the long run.
Moreover, Chapple and Vassos both have successful lives and careers in Kansas and Maryland, respectively. Even though Vassos is willing to pursue a long-distance relationship, it might end up being difficult for them to remain together, asituation that doomed the love story of Theresa Nist and Gerry Turneras well.
While these are all observations from what we see on the screen, there is a possibility that the reality might be different. But in any case, all things considered, maybe Joan Vassos should take a step back and not get overpowered by emotions only to end up making a decision she might regret later.
The Golden Bacheloretteairs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
