Chock and Joan of The Golden Bachelorette Enjoying a Slow-Burning Engagement, Focused on Family and Future

Chock and Joan, the beloved couple from The Golden Bachelorette season 1, are continuing to deepen their bond since their engagement in November 2024. Reflecting on their relationship, Chock shared that he and Joan are growing “closer” and enjoying their time together, “having a lot of fun just getting to know each other.” He emphasized, “So it’s time well spent,” showcasing their strong connection.

Despite their engagement, the couple has made it clear that they are not rushing into marriage. An insider revealed to Life & Style in December 2024 that Joan and Chock are in no hurry to tie the knot, citing their long engagement plans.

While Joan wishes to stay in Maryland and Chock resides in Kansas, the couple is actively shopping for an apartment in New York City, envisioning it as their romantic rendezvous point. Their decision to take things slow and focus on blending their families before taking the next step reflects their thoughtful approach to their relationship.

Joan also shared with Us Weekly that fans shouldn’t expect a quick wedding. “You’re not going to see a TV wedding in three months,” she said. While the idea of a televised wedding remains a possibility, Joan emphasized that she isn’t ready to dive into the planning process just yet. “We are loving being together, and I want to take the time for us to get to know each other’s families and friends,” she explained, reinforcing the importance of nurturing their relationship before making any big decisions.
