The Golden Bachelorette's Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple recently shared their first Thanksgiving together and now they're preparing for the Christmas season. Their willingness to share these intimate moments on social media has led to speculations that they're using these milestones as the next chapter of their story. They wouldn't be the first reality TV show couple that wanted to parlay their showmance into lucrative careers as social media lifestyle influencers.
After appearing briefly as a contestant on The Golden Bachelor season 1, 61-year-old Joan was cast as The Golden Bachelorette, where she met 60-year-old Chock. After a dramatic season that included romantic solo dates, group outings, and even the death of Chock's elderly mother, Joan gave Chock her final rose. The couple left The Bachelor mansion as an engaged couple, and they recently started celebrating the holidays and sharing the details on social media.
