Joan’s Second Chance: Love on ‘The Golden Bachelorette’

It was an emotional rollercoaster on “The Golden Bachelorette” finale in Bora Bora. Joan Vassos, who lost her husband to pancreatic cancer, chose Chock Chapple—a Kansas insurance executive—over Guy Gansert, a Nevada doctor. Chock stood out from the start, especially after meeting Joan’s adult children. Her kids were initially hesitant but eventually warmed up to him. Chock assured them he wasn’t replacing their father but opening a new chapter with their mom. Even though Joan once doubted her ability to love again after her breakup with Pascal, Chock’s commitment and love prevailed. She decided Chock was the one who would make her future brighter. On the beach, Chock got down on one knee with a sparkling ring, and Joan gave him her final golden rose. They shared their joy with Joan’s mom over FaceTime. Host Jesse Palmer confirmed they are still together, happy, and looking forward to sharing their story with family and friends. After the show, they enjoyed private quality time and were gifted a family trip to Disney World.
