The Golden Bachelorette season 1 contestant Chock Chapple could win Joan Vassos’ heart, but there are signs that he won’t propose to her. Joan, a 61-year-old private school administrator from Maryland, has been through so much over the last few years. The love of her life, John Vassos, died in 2021 after 32 happy years of marriage and four children together. Joan was deeply in love with her husband, so the loss was devastating for Joan.
