The golden bachelorette
Season 1 couple Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple are taking their relationship in a new direction. Joan, 61, and Chock, 60, found love after a whirlwind romance that included trips to Disneyland, Kansas and Bora Bora. Chock faced stiff competition against finalists Pascal Ibgui and Guy Gansert, but his strong bond with Joan earned Chock the final golden rose.
Now, as Chock and Joan go public with their engagement, there’s a lot of focus on the logistics of merging their lives. They both have children and careers, and he lives in Kansas while she lives in Maryland. It seemed that Chock and Joan would face the same obstacles as Golden Bachelor couple Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, who divorced after disagreements over where to live. However, Chock and Joan feel they have found the perfect solution. They plan to split their time between Kansas, Maryland, and a new home they plan to buy in New York City.
Why do Joan and Chock need a Big Apple love nest?
Rotating between three houses will prevent them from creating stability
Chock and Joan are excited about their plan to buy a third house, but viewers doubt the plan’s success. Joan and Chock’s relationship is still new. A third home in New York will add an unnecessary complication to an already difficult situation. They have so many issues to resolve that buying a love nest in New York seems problematic.
Chock and Joan have had a tumultuous few years. Both lost their partners, and Chock’s mother passed away while he was at the mansion. Each of them deserves to find a comfortable routine and stability. Moving between three different homes seems like a logistical nightmare that will prevent them from settling into their lives together.
Joan and Chock should live in the same place
The proposed living situation seems chaotic
Joan and Chock’s plan to switch between three bases could prevent their relationship from progressing. Most couples live together unless they have a good reason to stay apart. This is even more important for Joan and Chock as they are still building a foundation together. By sharing time and not always being in the same place, Joan and Chock are not giving their relationship a fair chance.
The proposed living situation suggests that Chock and Joan’s newfound fame may be going to their heads. The jet-set lifestyle they envision seems more suited to A-list celebrities. Joan and Chock are getting a lot of attention right now, but that may not last. With three houses to maintain, they could be scattered. Constant traveling can become exhausting and leave you without a viable long-term solution.
Joan and Chock may never get married
Your complicated living situation could be a sign of bigger problems
Joan and Chock’s unique living situation only raises concerns about their commitment. Chock’s ability to commit long-term has previously been questioned due to her nine-year engagement. Fans wondered why Chock never took the next step with his late fiancée and feared his engagement to Joan would follow the same pattern.
Now, Joan and Chock’s plan not to live together full time makes their future even more uncertain. If they’re not willing to fully merge their lives, it’s doubtful they’ll be committed to the relationship long-term. Spectators of The golden bachelorette are rooting for Joan and Chock after seeing their romance blossom. However, their complicated plans threaten to prevent Joan and Chock from reaching their destination.
