The golden bachelorette star Chock Chapple seems to adore his beautiful fiancée Joan Chapple, and the hopeless romantic in Chock may be leading him astray, as it's possible she doesn't care as much as he does. In relationships, sometimes one partner loves and the other is loved. This dynamic may work for a while, but ultimately, if there is no balance, the romance will likely die. Although Joan talks about Chock and seems physically attracted to him, there is always the chance that her secret thoughts and feelings are more complicated.
Joan Vassos, from the Golden Bachelorette, is a woman who has lived and has a lot to live up to. She remembers the excruciating pain of losing her husband, Joan Vassos, to pancreatic cancer. She was traumatized by his diagnosis. Seeing someone she loved die was unbearable. That was four years ago and she still loves him. When she feels this love, she tries to love someone new. This is a difficult task – some people cannot move on after this type of loss. Although John wanted Joan to be happy, she probably feels disloyal at times, even if she isn't.
Meanwhile, Chock, who does everything right from fixing Joan's closet to cooking with her to spending most of his time with her, may be too emotionally invested in a woman he doesn't fully understand. Yes, he was also loved and lost – so in a way, they are in the same boat. However, Joan still seems very involved with her past. Her late husband is in her heart and she makes that clear. On Thanksgiving, she even took to TikTok to share her sadness over his passing.
Because she is so openly connected to John as she and Chock house-hunt in New York City and plan their future, there may be a part of her that still lives in the past. Recently, she and Chock prepared a tailgate-style pork dish together, and while it looked fun, there was one awkward moment that told another story. When Chock started putting garlic cloves in the pork shoulder, Joan scolded him for doing it the wrong way. He looked embarrassed.
Sometimes these little etiquette violations speak volumes, and when they happen while the cameras are rolling, it can be a warning sign. If Joan criticizes her man publicly while the world watches, then maybe she'll be tougher in private. Chock, who Pascal Ibgui considered controlling, is very much in love with Joan and very trusting, he could suffer heartbreak. Even her mildest criticisms could make him feel so alone.
Chock looks romantic, elegant and committed to his partner. In fact, it looks like he'll do anything for the lithe blonde he loves. Unfortunately, when someone gives themselves to another person like that, they can get hurt. Since Chock lost his late fiancée to brain cancer, he has suffered. Hopefully Joan will be kind to Chock – the well-dressed man who treats her like a queen, on and off screen, is someone she should value.
