The Golden Bachelorette: Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple's Romantic Cancun Vacation Proves All The Critics Wrong (Will There Be Another Golden Bachelor Wedding Soon?)

Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple have received an enormous amount of criticism since getting engaged on The Golden Bachelorette, but their recent romantic getaway to Cancun proves that the couple is doing well. 62-year-old Joan met 60-year-old Chock while filming the long-running unscripted dating show. She made her television debut during The Golden Bachelor season 1. Though she and 72-year-old Gerry Turner really connected on the show, she had to leave early due to a family emergency.

Joan was soon announced as The Bachelor spin-off's first female lead. She kicked off The Golden Bachelorette season 1 by welcoming 24 single Golden men, including Chock. They fell deeply in love, and were engaged by the end of the season. Since getting engaged, they've spent almost every waking hour together. Though they've received a lot of criticism and doubts about their relationship, Joan and Chock seem happier than ever. Read on to learn about their recent romantic getaway to Cancun.

Bad Historical Precedent

Though Joan and Chock have seemed happy since getting engaged on The Golden Bachelorette season 1, they're in no rush to walk down the aisle. The first Golden Bachelor couple rushed things. The Golden Bachelor's Gerry Turner, 71, and 70-year-old Theresa Nist got married just a few weeks after getting engaged, then divorced only three months later. Joan and Chock don't want to repeat the same mistake. There's little doubt that once their busy lives settle down a little, they'll find time to plan another Golden Bachelor wedding.
