These days, it's hard to stay away from spoilers when it comes to shows in The Bachelor franchise, and that includes The Golden Bachelorette. So for those who were been able to sneak a few peeks about how things end, they knew ahead of the finale that Joan Vassos ends up with... drum roll please... Chock Chapple.
So, are Joan and Chock still together after The Golden Bachelorette? Previous spoilers indicated that Guy Gansert was the lucky fella to walk away with Joan's final rose. However, updated spoilers told fans that Chock, who Joan developed a connection with early on, is the actual winner of the season. And, of course, the winner of Joan's heart. Now that the finale aired, fans know that to be true. And they want all the tea on what comes next.
Are Joan and Chock still together after 'The Golden Bachelorette'?
In the dramatic finale of the first ever season of The Golden Bachelorette, Joan and Chock end the season together. They even get engaged, to the surprise of some fans who believed Joan might not be ready for that much of a commitment after all.
Both Joan and Chock were careful not to reveal too many details about their relationship on social media ahead of The Golden Bachelorette finale. However, now that the cat is out of the bag, they've shared details about their future. Which means that, yes, Joan and Chock are still together, and it's pretty adorable, especially for fans who rooted for these two since before Chock had to temporarily leave the competition.
The couple opened up to Us Weekly about figuring out where they would move, with Chock's business based in Kansas and Joan's family in Maryland. And they came to the perfect solution for both of them.
"We have this really fun plan because both of us have always dreamed, and we’re finally at this weird stage in life for making this dream come true, that we live in a big city, and, specifically, we’ve always wanted to live in New York," Joan said. "So Chock surprised me and said, 'I want us to go find a place.'"
One thing that's for sure is that Joan and Chock formed a legitimate bond on The Golden Bachelorette. She eagerly welcomed him back when he had to leave after his mom passed away, and as viewers have seen, he made it to the Fantasy Suite dates. Now, they have a big wedding to plan.
Are Joan and Pascal still friends?
Even though Pascal Ibgui leaves The Golden Bachelorette during Fantasy Suite week, he and Joan agree that they want to remain friends. Perhaps that's why Pascal dressed up like Joan for Halloween and posted about it on Instagram? He later apologized for the costume on Instagram and he thanked Joan for the experience on the show.
For the most part, it seems like Joan and Pascal developed a real friendship during filming. So it would be surprising if they weren't still a tad close outside of the series. As for Joan and Chock? They're ready for the first Golden Bachelorette wedding.
