‘Golden Bachelorette’s Joan Vassos Admits It ‘Feels Weird’ When Chock Chapple Holds Her Hand in Public
There are things Joan Vassos is still getting used to in her relationship with Chock Chapple. In a new interview with P.O.W.E.R. magazine, the Golden Bachelorette star was asked to name “one thing that annoys [her]” about her fiancé.
Vassos admitted that she and Chapple already act “like an old married couple” and said that they really got to know each other during their five “happy couple” visits post-filming. And, yes, they do have some differences.
“He has definitely had a glimpse into my imperfections,” the mom of four admitted. “He loves to tell this story about when he took my phone charger. It’s a huge pet peeve of mine. I just want my charger plugged into the same outlet, so that I can find it in the morning. He took my charger one time and he’s like, ‘I’ve never seen that side of you.’ So I think it’s more my faults that are coming out than his.”
She then explained the “other weird thing” that she’s noticed since getting engaged to Chapple. “I don’t know if it’s an East Coast thing or if it’s just the family I grew up with,” she began. “I felt very loved by my family, but we weren’t a touchy-feely family. So when we’re walking down the street, he’s always holding my hand, and it feels so weird to me. I’m always pushing him away, like, ‘You don’t need to hold my hand all the time.’ And he’s like, ‘I like to!'”
Vassos also touched upon the question everyone’s been dying to know the answer to: when’s the wedding?! “There will be a wedding,” she assured readers. “Chock is my man and I am his woman. There is no question that this is a done deal! But, planning a wedding after this very busy year sounds a little overwhelming to me right now. I really just want to be a regular couple because we haven’t had much time to do that. I want to go out to dinner with friends, go to parties, travel a little, or even just sit at home, make dinner, and watch Netflix without having to worry about a huge event to plan.”
She said that in “maybe another six months” she’ll be “in the mood” to start the planning process.
Chapple had a similar sentiment when he addressed the wedding plans in an Instagram Q&A earlier this week. The insurance executive told his followers that an end of 2025 or 2026 wedding is possible. “We’re getting closer,” he said. “We’re having a lot of fun together just getting to know each other. So it’s time well spent.”
