The Golden Bachelorette's Joan Vassos has been accused of having a big ego, but Chock Chapple's ego could be even bigger than hers. They say opposites attract, but 61-year-old Joan and 60-year-old Chock may be too much alike. Joan was already a big star when she met Chock. She made her television debut as a contestant on The Golden Bachelor season 1. She was one of the 22 single Golden women who competed for 72-year-old Gerry Turner. When Joan had to leave early due to a family emergency, she was selected to be The Golden Bachelorette.
The Golden Bachelorette season 1 opened with Joan in a gown, standing outside the iconic Bachelor mansion, like every other franchise lead had done before her. When Chock stepped out of the limousine that night, he flashed a smile, and Joan was instantly attracted to his confidence. Once he later showed her his vulnerability, the other men never stood a chance. The season ends with Joan giving Chock her final rose and Chock slipping an engagement ring on her finger. A relationship between two famous people may prove challenging for Joan and Chock.
Chock Is Feeding Into The Fame
Enjoying The Warm Glow Of The Spotlight
Some people shrink from notoriety, but Joan and Chock take it like fish to water. Chock's arrogance was evident during an early episode of The Golden Bachelorette season 1. Joan had taken several men, including Chock, on a group date to a bowling alley. Chock made it clear he didn't want to share Joan with the other men. Instead, he acted like she was already his girlfriend, snuggling up next to her the entire time. The other men hated it, but Chock didn't care.
Not only did Chock's egregiously arrogant behavior not bother Joan, but she also seemed to like it. Since getting engaged on The Golden Bachelorette season 1, Joan and Chock have been feeding into the fame by posting their every relationship milestone on social media. Currently, Joan has 176K Instagram followers, and Chock only has 73.5K Instagram followers. Though that seems like a big gap, keep in mind Joan has been famous a lot longer than Chock. His ego may push him to eclipse her on social media.
Chock Is Bragging About How Happy He Is With Joan
But He's Also Been Branching Out
Since getting engaged on The Golden Bachelorette season 1, Joan and Chock have been doing the rounds, making media appearances, doing interviews, appearing on podcasts, and so on. By all accounts, they appear to be happy together; however, it's hard to tell how much of it is about the relationship and how much is driven by the excitement of the moment. Only time will tell if they'll continue to care for each other once the excitement wears off.
Though Chock and Joan have been together almost constantly since getting engaged, he's also been branching out on his own.
Chock recently posted Instagram photos at a football game with several fellow cast members from The Golden Bachelorette season 1. Among the familiar faces were 61-year-old Jordan Heller, 62-year-old Keith Gordon, and 60-year-old Gil Ramirez. Chock's ego may have made him feel as if he needed an identity outside his relationship with Joan, which may seem bad but is probably good for them.
Does Chock Have A bigger Ego Than Joan?
Egos Could Get In The Way Of Their Relationship
Joan and Chock both have healthy egos, which is probably a big part of what attracts them to each other. Since leaving The Golden Bachelorette season 1, Joan and Chock have focused on increasing their presence as public figures, which requires confidence. Joan has talked about competing in Dancing With The Stars, and Chock likely has his own ideas. It's hard to say if Chock has a bigger ego than Joan, but if they're not careful, their egos could get in the way of their relationship.
