Therefore, looking into Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple’s past relationships and heartbreaks, it came to the limelight that Vassos got ample time to come out of her grief and embrace the spotlight, given her previous appearance onGerry Turner’sThe Golden Bachelor.

Considering how during their hometown date, Chock Chapple introduced Joan Vassos to his late fiancée Kathy’s dad, who told her that the only other time he has seen Chapple as happy was when he was with Kathy—it seems to reek of trouble. Therefore, given how he’s yet to move on from his fiancée’s loss, starting a new relationship with Vassos might not be the right thing.
Additionally, Chock Chapple’s insecurity and his struggle with the idea of Joan Vassos dating other guys might play another issue in their romance, in the long term. Therefore, considering their mistake of bonding over trauma, Chapple’s failure to move on from the loss of his fiancée, and his insecurity, Vassos starting a family with Chapple might eventually lead the reality TV star to regret her choice.
