"No More Ring?": The Golden Bachelorette's Joan's Fashion Show On TikTok Raised Eyebrows (Are Things Okay For Her & Chock Amid Wichita Visit & Possible Kansas Move?)

The Golden Bachelorette’s first couple, Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple, are approaching a challenging stage in their relationship with relocation and marriage on the line. The couple found a connection in the dating competition, with Joan and Chock’s initial date confirming their chemistry. The stars’ connection grew throughout The Golden Bachelorette season 1, and by the finale, Joan’s choice was clear. She awarded Chock the final rose, and he proposed.

Although the couple is dedicated to the relationship, physical distance has been a lingering issue. Joan and Chock have traveled across state lines for holidays and personal visits, but the constant movement has added unnecessary strain. The couple expressed interest in a shared apartment in New York but has not followed up on their housing search since November 2024. Recently, Joan’s activity hints at a potential move to Chock’s hometown. Chock may have swayed Joan’s perspective.

What Joan's Missing Ring Could Mean

Joan and Chock update fans frequently through their social media accounts. A recent post on Joan’s TikTok reveals her favorite outfits but, more significantly, her missing engagement ring. One user, @debbieshoemaker37, noticed the removal and questioned:

“No more ring?”

Fans are wondering what the context is. While the missing ring may have been caused by something mundane like dishwashing, Joan could be making a statement. Joan may have taken it off in defiance of Chock’s wishes. It’s worth noting that while Joan insists on staying in Maryland with her family, Chock seems deadset on staying in Kansas.

Joan Is Making Connections

Joan has arguably been traveling more on behalf of the relationship than Chock. This is understandable, as Chock created an empire for himself in Wichita, Kansas. The insurance executive owns three homes in the surrounding areas, a boat, and a local insurance agency.

Joan posted on her Instagram about a visit to Kansas in late February. The reality star was introduced to Chock’s social network at a convention. In this video, Chock looks overjoyed, introducing Joan to his favorite people: he could be subtly encouraging Joan to relocate.

The star has been vocal about his adoration of Wichita, so Chock may persuade Joan to move. However, Joan prioritizes her family and will not move away from her elderly mother or children. If Joan feels pushed to relocate, she may harbor resentment towards Chock.

Joan May Have Relocated Already

It’s entirely possible that with Chock’s love for Wichita, her constant visits, and their stagnant apartment search, Joan may have been swayed. The star seemed intent on staying in Maryland, but she has made every effort to strengthen her relationship with Chock. Joan could have already made the leap for him.

Joan and Chock have remained devoted to the relationship and each other. While the distance has taken its toll, the couple has only strengthened with time. The Golden Bachelorette may just find a home in Wichita.
