The Golden Bachelorette: Joan Vassos Taking Care Of Chock Chapple After His Eye Surgery Proves Their Relationship Will Make It
The Golden Bachelorette's Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple are together in sickness and in health, and Joan has been showing up for the sickness part of the equation. 62-year-old Joan made her television debut during The Golden Bachelor season 1. When she had to leave early due to a family emergency, she was cast as The Bachelor spin-off's first female lead.
The Golden Bachelorette season 1 ended with Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple, 60, getting engaged. They've both been fully committed to the relationship ever since. They genuinely seem to be happy together. Though they've had lots of fun, it hasn't all been good times for the couple. Chock recently had eye surgery, and Joan was by his side the whole time.
