Chock and Joan are engaged!

Joan Vassos teases ending that saw her have ‘sleepless nights’.

“I had a lot of sleepless nights. I would replay conversations. I needed to make sure I was doing a good job analyzing if I could picture a life with each man.”

“I feel like the ending was exactly how it’s supposed to be.”

“The journey ended exactly like it should. I feel like I found a lot of love and there’s all different kinds of love,” Joan told Us. “I feel like every one of these men are gonna be in my life forever. We shared really, really intimate things about our lives and we are bonded. So I think I found a lot of love actually this season.”

“Everybody’s journey is different. If you look at all of the conclusions of Bachelor shows, every single one ends in a little bit of a different way. There are so many successes in Bachelor Nation, and there are some that don’t end in the epic fairytale. It’s like real life. Not every relationship ends perfectly,” she said. “I don’t think you should ever give up on love and you should never give up on the show, because every single season will surprise you. Some will make you thrilled and happy, and some will be like real life.”

“I can say I have an original ending and it ended exactly like it should,” she teased. “I’m in the right place.”

Who is Joan Vassos’ winner Chock Chapple?

Chock Chapple, a 60-year-old Insurance Executive from Wichita, Kansas, got the first One-on-One Date of The Golden Bachelorette Season 1. For the date, Joan and Chock went to Disneyland in Anaheim, California, where they were seen talking on a bench near Sleeping Beauty’s castle and standing from a balcony on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. 

Joan Vassos was the first ever lead in the Bachelor history who made a MAJOR change to Fantasy Suites.

“I said, ‘I want to do Fantasy Suites, but I don’t want to have a bed in there. And I’m taking that off the table,’” Joan recalled.

“I’m not a person who can have a physical relationship with more than one person,” she says, so her overnight dates focus on “emotional intimacy” rather than physical. “I wanted it to be agreed that we would talk and have the conversations we need to have off-camera. We didn’t spend the night together. There was no bed in the room.”

“I saw a value in having a fantasy suite—you really do need to have those off-camera conversations, but I just took physical intimacy off the table,” she told Parade.

“I decided almost even before I went on The [Golden] Bachelorette that fantasy suites needed to be like my own personal version of them, that I didn’t feel comfortable having a physical relationship with more than one person and so, my fantasy suites were really more about emotional intimacy than physical,” she told Parade. 

According to Joan, the men respected her decision. “You gotta think, the person you’re potentially ending up with probably does not want to think of you, last week, having slept with the guy he hangs out with,” she says. “It’s just weird.”

“At this age, it takes a little time to get to know somebody,” she said. “Sometimes there’s love at first sight, and sometimes you need more time. I was looking for a committed relationship, somebody I was going to leave this journey with to see how it would work in the real world. Like, let’s date.”
