The Golden Bachelorette’s Joan Vassos Hasn’t Been As Open About Her Relationship With Chock Chapple As Bachelor Nation Thinks (Is She Hiding Her True Feelings?)

The Golden Bachelorettestar Joan Vassos has posted a lot about her relationship with Chock Chapple, but she hasn’t been as open about her feelings about her fiancé as Bachelor Nation thinks. Joan, who met Chock during their time together on The Golden Bachelorette season 1, has been making it clear that she’s happy with her fiancé after their whirlwind romance on the show. After accepting his proposal during the show’s finale, Joan and Chock had the chance to catch their breath and get to know one another better, finding their relationship stood strong throughout a critical run on ABC.

Joan and Chock were open about their future plans throughout the days after The Golden Bachelorette season 1 finale, sharing that they wanted to move to New York City after getting to see each other’s homes in a more thorough way. The couple made it clear that they weren’t entirely certain of the details yet, but they’d keep Bachelor Nation informed to the best of their ability. While many weren’t sure if Joan would keep up her end of the bargain, it was quickly made obvious that Joan intended to be very open online, sharing a lot on social media.

Although Joan has been one of the more openBachelor Nation leads in the last few years, her social media posts aren’t always showing everything that’s happening in her life. Rather than being upfront about everything, Joan has been sharing more curated content in the months after The Golden Bachelorette, and even during her time on the show. While The Golden Bachelorette was airing, this was more understandable as she was actively the face of an airing TV show.

After The Golden Bachelorette, though, it seemed like Joan would be able to reveal more about her life behind the scenes. Though she’s shared a lot about herself and her time with Chock, it’s been clear that she’s been curating her content skillfully to ensure that she comes off a certain way to Bachelor Nation. A lot of her content, surprisingly, is without Chock in tow because of their current long-distance relationship.

Joan’s Sharing What She Wants Bachelor Nation To See

She’s Not Sharing Everything That’s Going On

Although she’s been sharing a lot of content online, the fact that Joan is curating her content makes it obvious that she’s trying to develop her image in a certain way. Instead of showing off her life in a way that encourages her followers to show their own lives in the ups and downs, Joan’s content often shows her seeming to be a curated version of herself that she wants Bachelor Nation to see. While she’s not picture perfect, Joan isn’t fessing up to some of the more difficult moments that viewers know she has in her life post-show.

Although Joan’s time as The Golden Bachelorette was often very exciting, her relationship with Chock has been confusing for most of Bachelor Nation. While the couple is welcome to their privacy, it’s clear that there’s a lot going on for them that viewers and followers have interest in. The pair has been talking about a move to NYC that may not be happening, and though Joan seems like she’s been upfront, she’s been keeping a lot to herself. Sharing her highlight reel, Joan hasn’t been as honest about The Golden Bachelorette’s Chock and her life post-show to maintain her privacy.
