Disney/Christopher Willard The first Golden Bachelor, Joan Vassos, found her happily ever after with Chuck Chappelle. Joan met 24 men on the ABC reality show, which premiered in September 2024, and eventually accepted a proposal from Chock on the beaches of Bora Bora. “From our first meeting at Disneyland, I thought I saw a future (…)
They too post a video just the two of them, where Joan told followers: “This is where we had our first date and that’s actually where I fell in love with Chuck.”
She captioned the video “Back to where it all began…”
This isn’t the first time Joanne has debated the meaning of disneyland about her relationship with Chok. In an Us Weekly story published on Nov. 20, Joan recounted the immediate connection she felt with the insurance executive.
“We had such a great connection on the Disneyland date, which was a week into the season. It was super early and I felt like it was too good to be true,” she said. “I thought, ‘Eventually there’s going to be a red flag.’
But that red flag never came, even though she admitted she was looking for one.
“I was actually really looking for this, but it just kept getting better instead of worse,” she continued. “I was so confident at the end. I knew I was taking a leap of faith, but I felt really confident in my decision because you really know each other pretty well.
Just after the November final of The Golden Bachelorthe two of them spent Thanksgiving with each other and with their respective families.
“First Thanksgiving in Maryland with the Vassos crew and the Chapple kids,” they wrote in a joint Instagram post on Monday, Dec. 2. “So much to be thankful for – family, laughter and the beginning of new traditions.”
Next, says the couple us plan to find apartment together in New York. Joan and Chock also plan to spend time together in their home states of Maryland and Kansas, respectively.
